Special Teams get a big F

[Hawkize1]

1 Block Extra Point
1 Chip shot FG never even attempted
1 Kick off off-sides and a re-kick that cost Iowa 35 yrds.
1 Mental breakdown on a fake punt in the 4th. (this one hurt the most)
Anything else i've forgotten.

Iowa's defense was exposed today.
The timeout at the end was a definite mistake.
This one stings!

Agreed

That fake punt falls on the staff.

The kicking game is just plain terrible

As Butthead would say, "Iowa's special teams aren't so special."

How do you NOT make sure they punt....you have everyone up & let the ball go on the punt. YOU make them punt...Just get the ball & run clock when you are up 6.

Clocl management was terrible again. The TE catch & sprint to sideline was a waste too. Had first down & more yards to gain on that play..clock stops on 1st down.

How do you NOT spike the ball after that play & save a TO.

Shame we never had a chance to win with FG

I was at the AZ game & our special teams play has been horrible, shame both losses are attributed to that part of the game

Getting no points on the botched snap when we were inside what the 9 yd line..Reiff false start...bad snap (hold)

Get'm next week boys. I will be in Kinnick for MSU!

The most frustrating thing was when Ferentz first started winning our strength was special teams. Special teams and defense.

I knew we might get beat now and then cause we'd just play better teams, but I never thought I'd see a special teams display like this with Ferentz coaching. Looked like the special teams hadn't even practiced.
