Why give team ball AND wind to start 2nd half

by OUR choice! Makes no sense!! Put your foot on their neck. Did the EXACT same thing vs NW with strong wind, with EXACT same result. A halftime lead QUICKLY evaporated and we were back on our heels. If they are getting the ball you HAVE to make them play into a stiff wind! Unreal
 
You didn't hear what Ferentz said after the game? They got outcoached. They got outcoached by Purdue, outcoached by simple math and outcoached by the the playclock.

Haven't seen it yet. Watching a movie with my family while rage venting from my laptop.

I’m wonder what strengths there are

Offensive line is garbage.
The team has regressed as the season goes on.

There are 2 or 3 guys that he will make millionaires in 5 or 6 months so I am sure they love him.

I really think he looks at Saturday as another training day. There are some people that hate losing. He isn’t one of them

He cares about winning more than any fan does.......That being said there is definitely a complacency there. I think he does use the idea that Iowa is a developmental program as a crutch.

This is such a fucking stupid line of reasoning. Mike Riley cares more about winning than the average fan. So does Bielema. So does David Beaty and Chris Ash. So. fucking. what!"

C’mon man, he isn’t suppose to care? I know you want your pound of flesh, but use a little bit of logic with it.
 
I do

Nothing anyone can say would make me believe this. He is content with mediocrity. People who hate losing demand success. He accepts this.

Iowa took the wind in the 3rd quarter today vs Huskers. Worked out. :)

Rob, cmon man, Iowa did not take the wind in the third quarter. There are 3 items you can choose to do at the start of a game 1) defer if you win the coin flip, 2) defend and endzone or 3) receive the ball.

Rob, what transpired today? Iowa won the toss and deferred so KF learned from last week. Nebraska had the second choice after Iowa deferred and they almost had to choose to receive, then it was Iowa's choice to defend an endzone and they chose to kick from I assume North to South, since I have never been in that stadium, with the wind at their back.

There are only two decisions at the start of the 2nd half, receive or defend and endzone. Whatever happened choice-wise to start the game one team has first choice to start 3rd qtr and in this case Iowa took the ball to start the 2nd half today. So then it was Nebby's choice to defend an endzone AND I CANNOT BELIEVE RILEY DID THE SAME STUPID THING KIRK DID A WEEK AGO AGAINST PURDUE.

Riley kicked into the wind giving Iowa more time with the wind in the 3rd qtr.

So Rob, Nebby took the wind to start the 2nd half. Dolphin kept saying the same thing that Iowa and Kirk took the ball and the wind. Not so.
