There's plenty of blame for the loss. Several dropped passes and bad (too conservative) offensive play calls. But I'm still po'd that Parker had the defense give PSU a bigger cushion on that final drive than what they had done for the prior 58 and 1/2 minutes. When you stop doing what is working against a top flight offense, things may not end well for you.

Greatest individual performance ever in Kinnick.

Yup. I would be curious to know where his performance ranks at Kinnick. I remember Lorenzo White from MSU would throttle the hawks during the 80's in Kinnick.

HawkeyeGamefilm mentioned play earlier in the year where 4 defenders had the angle on him but he outran the angle..

Don't blame the D for the inability of our offense to sustain anything close to a decent drive.
"lack of athleticism on defense"??
With all due respect, your comment makes it crystal-frickin'-clear that you know absolutely nothing about football.
Are you seriously kidding me? Did you not see the game Nelson and AJ played?, did you not see Josh Jackson make those plays? Did you not see Jewel play like an All-American warrior??!!!

If you cant see it I cant help. Let me answer it with a question. Why does Iowa consistently give up career days? Why in bowls does Iowa get smashed by mediocre offenses?

It happens when you stop as a defender against someone moving.

Saquon won the Heisman last night and it took every bit of that Superman-like performance, down to the last play to beat us.

Did u listen to the commentators? The were puzzled. Alabama is conservative. Iowa repeatedly early ran into PSU strength and baited them. You never see defenders box a guy in flatfooted except Iowa. Call it conservative if youd like. Hawks had the horses to when straight up. In my weird style I think what they asked of Wadley and Jewell was coach abuse.

Yep, but none of that is gimmicky.
Coach abuse? Holy smokes man.
We can agree that the offensive playcalling/philosophy was not good, especially in the first half.
If you find another poster or any other individual that considers the strategy "gimmicky", id be surprised.

I made an argument, and because you have no idea what you're talking about you dodge me. It's an old school idea of bend-but-not-break, and you know what? Take away any one of numerous offensive or special teams mistakes (Wadley fumble, blocked field goal, PAT, etc.) and we beat the number 4 team in the country and the best running back of the last decade. That's a scheme I'm happy with. Either make an attempt at an adequate response or just don't respond at all.

Watch out man, Saquon Barkley carrying the entire PSU roster on his back might just be "coach abuse"
We had better contact the ACLU.

Maybe you missed my post on gaslighting.
That said your stupid drivel doesnt make you smarter or me dumber. Anyone knows what bed and not break is. If you watched the game you would have noted the surprise in the announcer. It goes way beyond what normal implementation of what you might see any other program do. Not sure ic the rb is the best in a decade. He certainly good but I guess he's superman saving his career game for Iowa just like Stanford and the very poor Florida offense busting free from the steel Hawkeye defense.
You might caee to look at how a few plays cojld have made that a blowout too. Lets see Im trying to discuss things about BF and all thing F with a guy with your user name...OK.

It is abuse to send Wadley repeatedly into their strong side with no blocking.
Jewell was leading a D out there way too many plays which is directly related to what was happening to Wadley.

Iowa's D kept the game close?? How many punts did PSU have? If Iowa's D did anything, it was to uncover a flaw in PSU's offense: They can't push the ball in short yardage situations on a short field.
Geeze, PSU used the same strategy Iowa should've used to win the game: time of possession.
Iowa can't win these types of games because Iowa doesn't have the athletes..doesn't use the athletes.
Athletes beat a system approach on offense or defense every time.

The guy is unreal. He also wont last the season with the amount of workload they are putting on him.

Seems I could very easily say the same about you.
I have no doubt, for example, that Jewell 'played like a warrior' but he did so in Iowa's system scheme of defense. The fault in not Jewell's. It's Parker's.

Iowa lost by 2 points, on the last play of the game, with almost no offense in the first half. I would say that's the definition of the defense keeping it close. To say Iowa can't win these types of games was literally an inch from being disproved. Alas, they lost...so you have your platform.
I can agree we didn't use the athletes we have in the best way in the first half. Can't argue there was too many runs into a stacked box, and too much adherence to tendencies. I disagree we don't have the athletes, I think the worm is turning on that front, we may not have the Depth of athletes.
