I'm curious to hear which assistant coach got the flag. Not that it matters, but we had a sliver of hope until that.

Explain how having an enept qb they paid $2 million for, undisciplined team, poor recruiting, etc etc, doesn't fall on Kirk's head?This ain't in Kirk. Outside of punta returns and trick reverses, Wietjen ain't all that. Good catch there but it's been a game of mm for Hawks all year.Another wulda, culda, shoulda season...

Kirk defenders will do Olympic tier mental gymnastics to defend him

Absolutely correct.
The buck stops with the head coach. Period. End of story. Like Wetjen is to blame? Ridiculous.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Kirk demanded that third down run. Unbelievable.
You paid two mil for a guy and you have little confidence in his arm and ability to make quick decisions.

Just out firing up the grill. This is laying in my back yard. Might have to have some deer burgers instead.

1- Gron is Not inept. He's the best QB Iowa has had in at least 5 years.
2- This offense is the best - especially OL - Iowa has had in 5-7 years.
3- Kirk has let the O go with opportune plays.
4 - They have simply missed executing by literally mm (see fumble last week, toenail out today, goofy special teams flubs) this year vs miles in last 5-7 years.
5- This D is NOT "Iowa" D of past decade. They can't defend pass, usually break and have missed SO MANY ankle tackles (see Indiana, Oregon and today) that my head hurts!
I'm a HUGE Kirk critic (15 years and running) but this seasons losses ain't on him.

I'm sure that the fire Ferentz people around the state won't understand this, but that was a helluva coaching job to keep this team within 5 points of USC. Not just today or this week, but how the teams have been developed from the time the guys on both teams came out of high school.
How many positions did we have better athletes than them? Not players, but athletes. They take their 4/5 star guys, coach them, and throw them out there and watch them make plays. We take our guys, coach them up to fit our scheme, and win a lot of games.

Prediction…same old Kirk.
Iowa starts off like wild men. Blitzing, big hits, big runs and hell a WR pass to QB for a TD.
Up double digits at half.
Kirk does what Kirk does. Plays not to lose plays ultra conservative. Result, another lose against a ranked team…..

137 passing yards.
4 above our 133 passing ypg average (131st in FBS).
Might move up to 130th
