******Iowa vs USC Game Thread******

[83Hawk]

3 straight runs. Eyes is happy. Better to run than pick up the first down.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Just bad play calling those last 3 plays.... WTF

 

[Franisdaman]

SON OF A BEECH............

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

Damn.

Hawks just can't get it done vs anyone good. F***.

 

[DuddyB]

So damn unlucky this year. Infuriating

 

[RO Hawk44]

Two straight runs to patterson and an up for grabs throw on 4th down. WTF!

At least Fran is gone.

 

[BaseBallerP27]

NOTHING HAS GONE OUR WAY ALL ******* YEAR. NOTHING

 

[Hawkedup]

I don’t understand that play calling at all. He’s out and that is the ballgame.

 

[Ironman39]

Lol, yep. The fix was in. They wanted USC to win.

Time to burn down the Big Ten headquarters.

 

[WeBeHerkin]

Game over.

 

[Tenacious E_rivals41982]

Well that sucked.

 

[Mitch122_rivals]

This team’s bad luck is absolutely unreal.

 

[10khawk]

Lester should be fired today

 

[kwik44]

Game of inches and Iowa has found exactly zero this year while the other team found them all. Makes me sick.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Why run it up the gut 3 straight times?!?! We deserve to lose….not guts

 

[83Hawk]

Dang. There goes our last chance.

 

[HawkeyeFever]

Why waste 3 plays running up the gut for minimal gains before we finally throw it?

 

[Anon1751586422]

If your 4th down play is a 30 yard pass, why the hell you running on 3rd and 8????

 

[Grayhair1981]

Was he out? Pretty close

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Lol.

All you can do is laugh.

I have no idea what Lester/Kirk were thinking on that series of downs. No idea.

 

[MAKhawks]

That guy's like 26 years old and when he goes out to shoot hoops in the driveway his parents both pull up a chair and watch. He isn't a great shot either.

Bit of a dribbler?

Snag some pics for the rest of us. All my neighbors are boring 28-48 blonde trophy wives who sit around the pool all day. Boring

 

[hawkeyewx]

Well, Iowa isn't folding late in these games. They just don't have the talent to make those last couple big plays to win.

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Close but close doesn't cut it.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

You knew they were calling that out of bounds if it was close.

I guess they saw that blade of grass live

 

[Iowameat]

So sick of theses games that could have been won . Oh well,maybe next year.

 

[WeBeHerkin]

Who in their right mind that’s worth a damn is going to play in the Iowa Offense at a skill position?

# 11 is gone after this year

 

[Hawksfor3]

Any part of the foot, right?

 

[BunchofAholes]

Gronowski throws the ball late on anything more than 10 yards downfield

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

Of course they call him out. They better review that.
The camera work as been terrible in this game so I doubt we get a good look at it on replay. Play will stand.

His tow was on the white i.e. out of bounds.

So damn close....

 

[longliveCS40]

If your 4th down play is a 30 yard pass, why the hell you running on 3rd and 8????

This times a million!

 

[DTP2]

Ph****************k!

 

[Burghawk87]

Cool, well at least the losses become more and more predictable as I get older.

 

[HawkBall23]

Man!!!!

you could try to make an argument that the base of the toes area hit first before the toe, but with these refs, there not even going to bother reviewing it.



0-13 and again, in "heartbreaking fashion".

And I disagree. This isn't fun to watch and feel like we should be happy about it.

KF is what he is. He was king of the old B1G West, but those days are long gone.

 

[Hawkedup]

NOTHING HAS GONE OUR WAY ALL ******* YEAR. NOTHING

yeah, bounces certainly haven’t went our way this year. Oh well. Next year, I guess.

 

[Hawk48]

college sports are becoming really, really gross.

and the B1G is looking to sell their soul for that $2.4 BILLION bail out

It is called legal gambling

 

[Franisdaman]

NOTHING HAS GONE OUR WAY ALL ******* YEAR. NOTHING

We have played #2, #8 and #17 all very tough.

We just can't close the deal......

Sucks

 

[BubsFinn]

That just isn't a high percentage throw. Not the right decision.

 

[83Hawk]

Why run it up the gut 3 straight times?!?! We deserve to lose….not guts

Run the ball.
6-4.

 

[Denmar]

Good throw but damn Lester, terrible play call with the game on the line. Actually, terrible play calling these last 2 series.

 

[WeBeHerkin]

Would have been in if he wouldn’t have been pushed.
