I thought you were going with plays we SHOULD have run. But after reading your post...I'm unusually happy.

The play where Tevun Smith catches a deep ball.

Great point! What about the classic 'jailbreak'? Did one of those get run, either?

ISU tried running one on 4th and 4...Lowdermilk destroyed it for a 1 yard loss-ish. None from the good guys that I can recall.

And no hurry up Qb sneaks that always end with a false start. And no Damond Powell.

Powell had 5 or 6 snaps. Just wasn't targeted.

If Powell played, Hawkeyesports.com missed him because he isn't (or at least he wasn't when I checked on Monday) on the participation report.

We have three "trick" plays; the bubble screen, the reverse/end around, and the pitch back to QB/'flea-flicker'
We saw each one in one of the three games.
So nothing new the rest of the season

I know I saw him on one play for sure. We were lined up in a more power formation, and he was lined up alone up top. We ran the ball.
What's the point of bringing in a JUCO if we don't play him? I know, I know....he has to learn the playbook.....obviously six weeks into his career he only knows three or four routes

Did I miss something? Was the run game not KILLIN' the ISU defense?
Should KirFer need to put Powell in for a deep bomb just to sassify you? Or perhaps we can pocket a couple of his plays for another game, instead of showing everything.
Why are you even on here? Shouldn't you be off coaching a championship team?

I guess after watching Iowa's secondary allow Bundrage, et. al get behind them, no Iowa lead was safe in the ISU game.
In the past when people would criticize play calling I never really agreed with them, but I guess I've changed after this season.... On our penultimate drive we're running all over them, and I'm thinking a play action pass to the endzone is coming... It doesn't, and I suppose that could be written off...why move away from what's working.... But then..
After the interception, we're 1st at their 25... Considering the previous drive it seemed the perfect opportunity to run a play action pass on first down to the endzone... Both drives stall and settle for field goals.. I just don't get that...

They did run one playaction from inside the 10 for a TD. I think it was the pass to MM.

My answer was going to be 'most of them'
One of the best plays I ever remember seeing was at home against Wisconsin. Don't remember the year for sure, but Dallas Clark was the tight end. We faked the bubble screen, and hit Clark right down the seam for a touchdown. Nobody was within 10 yards of him. I have never seen it attempted again.
