So 2009 at Ohio St we take a knee for the BIG title at the 35 and in 2025 we try a 66 yard fg and give the opponent 7 points.....LOL

If you believe this you just insulted the HC, unless you believe he didn't make the call.
Mark is now at 9 rushing TDs on the season, which is tied for the 3rd most by a QB in a season in school history.
He is also the first Iowa QB in school history to rush for a TD in 7 straight games within a single season.
Those 1 yard sneaks are super impressive. I’d rather have a QB that can actually do what he’s supposed to do, pass the ball.
I said out loud before it happened “why the **** are we attempting this kick? This is stupid.” I’m sure many were thinking the same.
I would say the same thing on air but I am not hot as **** lol
Honestly this is one of the more disgusting first half in recent memory.
He's acting like how most coordinators act. Normally, (and I know there are plenty of exceptions) but normally, the head coach is expected to be a bit more reserved or measured in his conversation/complaint to the officials. Smith is acting like the ranting lunatic hiding on the sidelines while cussing out the refs who are just out of ear-shot while the head coach talks to them.
Smith is just in unfamiliar territory. That's why he looks like a clown. Because most coordinators are allowed to act that way towards the officials from the sidelines........so long as the refs can't "hear" them.
Who would have been bitching about not trying a 66 yard field goal?
The way the defense is playing and the got us the lead.... We just need the offense to NOT screw up.
We kick a dumbass 66 yarder and gift 7 and the lead back to PSU.
Now we hope that the defense will get us another score.
PSU would be smart to just hand the ball off. Our offense isn't doing sh*t

Hey Lavar and K1..........let's focus on being consistent from 20-40. No need to be looking for a notch on your belt by cranking off a 70+yarder when you just saw from the first attempt it wasn't even close!!
It's easy to criticize the FG decision AFTER THE FACT but Drew has shown to be good from at least 65 yards.
Some context, from this season:
17-21 is 81%.
From Aug 30:
From Sep 6:
Note that this FG would have been good from 65 yards.

The only thing as bad as Iowa's offense is that halftime routine on Peacock.
NA is hotter than I thought, but what a joke of a halftime show.

It was going to be almost impossible for Penn St to score the rest of the game and we do that?
Or maybe not slide short of the sticks?
Mark is now at 9 rushing TDs on the season, which is tied for the 3rd most by a QB in a season in school history.
He is also the first Iowa QB in school history to rush for a TD in 7 straight games within a single season.
And none of them were scored with any talent. All were walk-ins or tush-push. MG's touchdowns is one of the most insignificant facts of all time. Maybe if he could pass for a TD, THAT would be one helluva story. Or if he could even complete a pass. Or even pass for 100 yards in a single game.
Bench the SOB and put in a healthy Hecklinski. This QB stuff is pure BS.
There is no way anybody could have predicted a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown, not on either sideline.
It was a break for PSU, breaks happen.
His practice attempt was a good 10 yards short
which meant his next one he’d have to really drive the ball lower to get more distance
also from 66 yards, PSU can sell out for the block knowing any offsides means it’s a 61 yard
Had Stevens made the kick on practice then sure maybe try again
but overall dumb
Yep.... Only way they score is our offense and special teams....
Our offense is their best offense
Really never seen anything like this. We have ****** up in every conceivable way. This isn't Iowa football. Penn State is doing nothing and is beating us.
After the first try was 10 yds short and KF left hm out there, I said that's how kicks get blocked and run in for a TD.
how do you get another 10 yds Kirk? Oh yeah kick lower for more distance.

I'll defend Kirk here. I'm sure he's never even thought about throwing a Hail Mary to end the half.
F'n shoot me
F'n shoot me
There is a time and a place for that kind of attempt. That was neither the time nor the place.
I find it pretty hilarious that everyone here is running with the narrative that it's Kirk's fault the FG got blocked.
It's one thing to blame him/Lester for the tight play calling with fear of failure execution leading up to the attempt.
But the block (and the missed FG) fall on Drew Stevens and the poor execution by the blocking unit on special teams. We've had multiple breakdowns with blocked punts and now a FG blocked for a TD. Special teams needs more criticism right now, and I'm kinda disappointed no one is rolling with that...................
Also, it may be time to bench Drew Stevens (AGAIN, btw, for those that don't remember that it wouldn't be the first time).
He is in his own head now, and that means he's f***ed. Time to see what we have for the future for the time being, anyway.

Here's hoping for a couple Pick6s and fumble recoveries from the defense and a TD return of some sort from Wetjen.
You dumbasses posting kicks from 60, realize the trajectory is lower right? Easier to block ?
If you going to bench Stevens for his FG then fire the idiot coach making garbage decisions again and again
