The Happy Thanksgiving and beat Nebraska game thread:

Man, thought Iowa would really have their way with these guys. Iowa needs to kick it up 3 gears.

The surprising thing for me is how bad the defensive line is getting mauled by Nebraska OL.

 

[cincyhawk]

Since they are selling out to stop the run, maybe a pa pass?

So there's never been an instance where the backup QB comes in and find out he was better than the starter???

It’s very rarely a good move. Ask Nebraska how musical quarterbacks has worked for them in the past three years.

If you do that and the backup doesn’t do a better job, you lose the locker room immediately. As a coach it tells the team that 1) you have no confidence in the starter, and 2) you have no idea how to fix the problem and you’re just hoping a different player makes a difference.

If it doesn’t work your players are going to have zero confidence in the staff whatsoever.

We can't trust Petras. We can't trust out QB. What's that say?

Iowa’s D is so bad it’s actually making Martinez look like a good QB.

Well, the D will likely have to win it for Iowa

You can tell these receivers are already fed up with Petrass

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Petras with a rocket into the turf.

 

[cincyhawk]

What?

 

[hawkeyewx]

Bad throw, now 3rd and long.

 

[Fryowa]

Well, the D will likely have to win it for Iowa

If they play like they did that 1st drive they’re going to be a huge reason we lose.

 

[hawk52]

O.G. wide open and tosses it in ground

 

[hawkeyewx]

Big first down. Iowa needs TDs.

Both lines are flat as hell. Looks like they ate too much yesterday

 

[hawk52]

Time to play for a FG

 

[trj]

Jfc, wtf Petras

 

[hawkeyewx]

Another missed TD pass.

 

[MattinColumbus]

Omg.

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Petras had a guy wide open. Yikes.
