USC Game-what’s your gut feel?

[Fryowa]

Down by 5 not going to give up yet, but it is not looking good.

Kirk looks a little like Nate Stanley deer/headlights getting rocked out there. Ain’t good

 

[Ben Rumson]

Guess refs were paid

 

[trj]

USC is just going to run blitz now.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Iowa's new bend and break defense isn't going so well.

Hasn't all year.

 

[Sparky]

Great play calling. Need 8, throw 3 yards behind LOS.

 

[Fryowa]

3yd out routes when you’re getting killed à la Greg Davis baby

 

[trj]

Gronowski not having a good day throwing the football.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Anyone else seeing USUCK literally vampire Iowas energy?
I HATE those So Cal leaches.

Iowa just doesn’t have the athletes like USC/Oregon do. There comes a point where size, speed, and strength are the difference and it is what it is. You can compete against teams like that when they don’t adjust, but if you give Lincoln Riley a 20 minute trip to the locker room to talk it out it’s not gonna end up going well for you. Those guys are just bigger/faster/stronger than our secondary.

People, myself included, always hope we can make the playoffs. This is what would happen.

 

[Fryowa]

Why even punt here? You’re just making things worse just go for it. You’re boxed in a corner half dead already, what’s the diff?

 

[Seth53]

Up by 14, could lose by 20+

 

[trj]

Need a stop.

 

[thedukeofearl]

Might not be able to score 2 FG to go ahead

Not gonna be able to stop them anyway

Not the playoffs but ‘15 Rose Bowl cemented the fact that maybe you should be careful what you wish for number one, and REALLY be careful getting hopeful.

Gronowski not having a good day throwing the football

Need a stop.

Time to start bring people. Nothing to lose. Need to cause a turnover

 

[thedukeofearl]

Man I don’t know how Iowa fans pay thousands for trips to see this stuff in the rain

Certainly a mystery

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Gronowski not having a good day throwing the football.

I would like but didn't want to thumbs up ... But agree
All day at ankles and knees when in stride wulda been big results.

 

[99topdawg]

Lleweellyn with the strip sack.

 

[Fryowa]

Need a stop.

Zero chance of that short of a pick or fumble. They’re rolling and there are 0/11 spots we have with more athleticism

This.
USC has more talent.
And we were out-coached at halftime.
