We're only down 7, no way you can complain about that! Let's get it in 2nd half!

Blown coverage on the TD. However Cioffi's erratic play haunts us. Totally whiffed on that tackle.

Wait, being up 3-0 is unacceptable to Ash, but being down 0-7 is good enough to just take a knee?

but

way too much hope that he would do it

Probably but you have to call plays assuming they will be executed correctly. I'm not saying the play calling was great on that series but that last one should have been a TD if executed correctly, even with CL.

to be fair to lavs, i think harris was out of position... he either should have blocked for CL or stayed back a bit to take a pitch... not sure what the design of the play was..

or maybe CL butchered it.
Harris was in the right trail position. Laviano should have pitched it, but the truth is Laviano should have never been put in a bad situation.

The secondary completely fell asleep on that last drive. Horrible missed tackles and missed coverage. Ash is gonna tear them apart at half.

Why are people surprised about Laviano having no awareness and making the wrong decision?? It's been his M.O. since day 1 but unfortunately we have dumbass coaches who enable it every week so nothing is going to change until our coaches get their heads out of their asses.

The first half miscues are all on the coaches, if you ask me. Odin should not have been in on that 2nd goal line series. Martin':me had success, up to that point. I give Laviano a pass, his throwing has been bad but he's made some good decision with his feet.

Re. Grant... sucks but next man up. Harris, Goodwin? Let's get 'er done!!!

If you told me down 7-0 at half, considering our 1st quarter woes, I would have signed up for it.

It's just that, of every way and at any time they could have scored their 7 points, this was the absolute worst (99 yard drive, right before half, take all the momentum).

It's bittersweet

Yes you can complain. Our defense was playing great and grant got us down to the 3 yard line then our coaching failed us hugely!!!!!!!! Took wind right out of the sails of our team and gave instant momentum to Iowa. Should be winning this game not happy being down by seven.

Coaching staff really dropping the ball today.

Laviano with an absolutely awful game. Today he can't make any throws, he can't run, he can't make the correct decision on what should've been an easy pitch for a TD. Sorry I know he's a college kid, but this guy absolutely sucks.

seems like they're trolling us, throwing oden out there just to give him the jabu treatment not letting him throw. Cmonnnn Ash

I prefer to think he is developing him slowly, building confidence

Should play Oden in the 2nd half. Laviano's shown nothing this game. All of his passes have gone to Grant and Grant may be out of the game now.

Ugh. Being down 7-0 as opposed to 7-3 just stings. Would have been nice to get points on that red zone possession considering they are at a premium in this one
