What's going on over at Cry-fan?

So now the cry clones are bagging on Randy Peterson. Seems like asking Matt Campbell about how he is going to fix the offensive line is just over the top and deserves firing. LOL, Peterson is the biggest hack journalist/apologist in the country and that STILL isn't good enough for Clown fans.

I used to think randy was a joke, and that he was a complete ISU apologist. However, then I got exposed to Nebraska media. They are 1000x more in the bag than randy.

Peterson also blocked me on twitter for no apparent reason. Maybe he just blocks Iowa fans carte blanch.
 
Next year as time is winding down inside Kinnick for our 6th win in a row over isu, all Iowa fans should start chanting "Little Brother" over and over again.

During one of the delays on FS1, Reggie Bush was commenting about the Mich State / Arizona State ending and he said his coaches at USC always preached to the team to not let a game stay close enough where the refs can decide the outcome. Great advice.

Uh, not to nitpick here, but didn't "the officials" subsequently vacate all games that Mr. Bush played in during a season or two after determining that he was ineligible to play college football?

You are obviously making something up because on the replay it only shows the PI. If you go back on your DVR and watch the play in real time you get a clear picture of Meeker blocking Jones. Someone chips Jones to start and then Meeker has him in front of him his hands are inside his frame the whole time and there is no grabbing of the jersey or anything. Meeker simply dominates him, there is no hold there. Maybe the ref thinks he sees something because Jones goes to the turf, its wet and Meeker outweighs him by at least 60 lbs but its a horrible call. If thats wrong someone put a video up that shows something different. If that play is called correctly ISU has the ball on the 20 with a little over 2 minutes left.

Iowa also gets the break on the run by Goodson setting up their last field goal where they completely ignore the block in the back in the backfield. If the penalty is called Iowa is backed up out of field goal range and who knows if they get close enough to try the field goal.

you CANT call a Block in the Back within 3 yards of LOS!

Great advice. This is what winning programs do and what programs do that have 100 times the resources, budget, tradition, etc that iowa does. Zero excuse.

It seems an unusual number of their fans don't have a full grasp of the rules or they get high school vs college vs pro mixed up. I know I do, too, from time to time.

But it's the morons that keep whining when they are wrong only because it fits their sad, tired we got screwed narrative.

I had that two years ago here in Denver at Inga's(local Clown Club bar) when some crying clown would not let it go even when the TV announcer detailed that what looked like PI was legal in college. Just kept bitching...

NEVER EVER have I seen a bar clear out faster after ISMs OT TD. From packed to 10 people in 20 minutes. I would guess that Inga's might have cleared out this past Saturday even faster.

Maybe so, but I've never heard of a defense in which this is the assignment. To the best of my knowledge, that would be a new idea. DE's job is to contain ("C" gap, if you will). From the QB's perspective, if the DE bites down on the hand off, he keeps it himself off the edge every single time (because there's no one there...). This read has been a staple of football at all levels for the past 15 years, truly the modern version of the triple option (out of the shotgun).

According to gap assignments, I would wager AJ is not supposed to bite down on those hand offs.

I don't know how much of this we ran, but the scrape exchange is what defenses come up with to counter that gun option stuff. Basically the DE squeezes, filling the gap the LB would have filled while the LB scrapes and becomes the new contain player. It makes the QB wrong with either decision to pull or give. It also lead to the rise of the RPO, where teams now read that LB and if he scrapes, they throw the slant behind him. It's nearly impossible for a scraping LB to also play the pass well, so defenses have to pick their poison.

If it's and butts were candy and nuts....I could pull apart the game and find just as many penalties and calls against ISMoo that should have been called. Honestly, if it wasn't for a trick play and two overthrows and one underthrow by Stanley for TD's this game would have been a laugher win for the Hawks.

And people say Kirk cant can't manage the clock.

Of course I'm partially kidding. He has had three clock blunders so far this year alone and a long history of doing it. But possession management is a different story. We had the first and last possessions of the first half and, once Iowa State had the quick score in the third quarter, basically the first and last possessions of the second half.

I know possession management isn't quite clock management, but Kirk has always been good at it. Bill Parcells was the master of it, and he stole a ton of NFL games that way.

Having the linebacker scrape over sounds like a logical concept. But in practice, it seems to be a tough task. A speedy quarterback can seemingly beat the LB to the edge almost every time.

The LB does not have play side responsibilities in a scrape exchange, so he is moving towards keep side at the snap. There is absolutely zero excuse for a scrape LB to get beat to the edge, at least initially. Now, if he is out-athleted by the QB at that point it's a different discussion but this technique (one of several I suppose) was how defenses coped with the zone read play.

It's simple enough, I understand the scheme. I just don't think it worked for Iowa. Thinking back on the game, Purdy consistently had huge success pulling the ball and keeping it himself.

That's why I said I wasn't sure how much we were actually using that strategy. AJE did tackle the RB quite a few times on the read (without the ball) and Purdy did have some decent chunk plays when that happened. That tells me we really weren't accounting as much for the QB OR we were perfectly ok with Purdy getting a few yards if it meant getting a hit on him and that it didn't put the ball into the hands of one of their playmakers.
