The "That's Football" Formula

[Motigerhawk]

I finally figured it out. As we go through discussions about FKF, it hit me. I know this has been discussed before. But I never knew what to call it. And then I did.

The "That's Football" Formula for Iowa football.

1. Play not to lose
2. Keep it close so you have a chance to win at the end
3. Run the ball, stop the run
4. Pass only when absolutely necessary
5. Try to avoid situations where the pass is absolutely necessary
6. Even in long yardage situations, run
7. The short side of the field is your friend
8. Bend but don't break
9. Hope the bounces go your way

I think this is what we witness every Saturday.

We have had 96-ish games in FKFs career that have finished wth the score within one TD. That is an amazing stat.

yup. Keeps you in games you shouldn't be in, and lose to teams you ABSOLUTELY shouldn't lose too. Just wish he would learn (like most coaches) and play to WIN vs lesser opponents, and put them away. Bur alas, he is what he is.
