Pro-style efficiency, stellar

This is how a dominant pro-style offense can throttle a defense. Overall these were basic pro-style or I-formation pass plays, quick slants and outs, medium range post patterns, a couple flare out safety valve type passes to running backs, a couple deep balls...

And a lot of TEs up the seams and in the openings of coverage. Execution and timing were near perfect. Take away a couple throwaways and a couple of soft, short passes that took a little nose dive and the passing game was almost perfect. The receivers ran some great , crisp routes.

The main thing is the hawks threw the ball, caught the ball and didnt turn it over or have a bunch of penalties.
They needed to play an almost perfect game and they did that and even better on defense.

And man did this passing game open up the running game and even the second offensive play by Iowa was a quick off tackle gash by Wadley and the line for about 30 yards.

Let's keep seeing this and remember a few posts I have had the past week where I hoped KF would not be so conservative and let the players play and have fun.
 
All if the stars were in alignment yesterday. It was a most wonderful experience that comes around once every 27 years, like Pennywise does....lol. We have watched teams do that against Iowa (maybe not all game), so it was esoecially nice to see an offense like that click, and clicked all game long. Excellent display for Iowa players and coaches, fans, and al of our recruits who were there.

yep, ain't nothing wrong with pro-style offense if you throw the ball when needed and run the ball when needed.
 
This is how football was meant to be played in my opinion. I love pro-style offense in college and NFL.
 
I wouldn't call yesterday exactly pro-style. Lot's of short drops and quick passes as opposed to a longer play development. Stanley had a very quick release with velocity. It was fun to watch. If KF allows, he might be the best QB ever at Iowa.

Correct in a way, I will call it Pro-style formation, I formation rather than an offense, and when you throw in the short drops and quick release we are talking more like the Bill Walsh west coast offense. Deeper drops with play action throwing the bomb are the older Don Coryell and the main architect of that offensive style out of the I formation but I cant remember his name. But Coryell and John McKay were early masters.

Now in the end it becomes an offensive style with blast run plays with a lead fullback, the I back reads the direction the blockers take the defender, play action pass, screens, draws, and the deep pass.

Either way it was fun.
