D a sack machine!

Our defense is looking pretty good today.

Thanks to all for contributing to this thread. By the end of last year game threads were getting tedious.

Drew Ott with 2.5 or 3 sacks already in the first half.

If any of those passes would have been caught that would have been a successful fake. Very surprised they did that on 4th and 10.
Honestly, I would have felt a little better with the field goal there.

I dont agree. It was a 48yrd FG try, not anywhere close to automatic. Iowa and more so Kirk needs to change things up because playing it safe has not worked. I like the call. It was well worth trying.

Two drives does not a good game make, Kirk. Keep your foot on the gas...

I have NW as one of our losses this year.

 

[docholihawk]

Our new offensive tackles are looking pretty good so far. I hope they keep growing when we play Pitt and conference games.

We watched an X-Files episode last night where a guy was actually a shape shifting alien. We should ask Mary F if she's noticed anything odd lately.

Criticisms: Leshun too slow. Won't cut it in Big Ten play. Put in Mitchell. And I don't like King returning punts--too valuable of a player to lose to injury.

 

[Mademyaccount4u]

What is that now, negative 11 yards rushing?

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Offense needed to get something out of those last 2 drives. Can't give up good starting field position like that and come up empty.

Iowa playing really well and ILlinois State is a just a shell of itself from last year.

I still would feel better with a 3 possession game.

 

[docholihawk]

Defense seems to be more flying to the ball ala Norm Parker.

 

[Mademyaccount4u]

Was it holding? Surprisingly I didn't see the PI.

 

[docholihawk]

Where did Parker Hesse come from. I don't remember hearing much about him.

I agree I'm surprised people aren't complaining about the lack of passes down field because there have been 0 attempts deep. Running game looks improved and the D is solid.

 

[tksirius]

Stupid ugh

 

[docholihawk]

DB's aren't allowed to breathe on the receivers anymore. The last pi he did a little more than breathe on him though.
