*****N Illinois vs Iowa Game Thread*****

[Trakker]

I know niu is bad, but even against bad teams we've struggled to score tds on offense. This is nice

 

[bottlecaps]

A running back who can finish the run is a nice addition.

 

[Herky_Hancock]

How's the commercial break tracker going. 60-40 commercials..... My gosh

Yes seems more than usual all day. Those breaks while in Kinnick are such a buzz kill, and even worse on warm day like today

 

[HawkinAnk74]

Yikes, NIU is worse than I thought they were. Iowa is WAY too much for them to handle.

 

[uihawk82]

That hole was 7 yards wide

Great play design showing a toss sweep and then Moulton goes up the middle. On the replay the NIU Lbkrs were heading to the outside

It's so obnoxious these days. One of my goals by the end of the season is to program a Raspberry Pi to auto-detect commercial breaks and divert to a stock screen. I believe I can do it based on sudden audio level changes. Use their ******** make commercials louder tactics against them.

I ******* hate advertising.

I just got home and turned on the game. Did we miss an extra point?

 

[Iowameat]

Dolph just said Caden Buhr the kicker is 2 for 2 on extra points. my gawd he missed one just a few minutes ago. incredible

Great dump down pass and big run by Moulton

 

[Kirbs]

I don’t think NIU’s MLB had any interest in taking on Winter. He was in the Finkbine lot shotgunning a beer by the time KM got to the end zone

agreed but showing this to niu seems like a waste

Yep bad snap and kick, wide right

 

[Franisdaman]

Nice hole.

Thats what he said!

 

[Jonesy5960]

It seems like our Offense is pretty good.

I'll say they look good, and then consider the fact that they are playing Northern Illinois. They definitely look a hell of a lot better than they did in last year's opener against the mighty Great Danes.

 

[QChawks]

There’s a guy holding a sign on Brady Street in Davenport that says “I’m not homeless. I just came in last place in fantasy football last year.”

Ferentz said before the game we'll be going for 2 after every TD

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

Keep an eye on Boise St at Oregon got that on side TV

 

[r_desihawk]

punt caught

 

[Jonesy5960]

So uh, no one has told Dolph that we missed the first PAT. They kind of need to get on that.

They did get on it. They named the press box after him.

 

[Franisdaman]

I know niu is bad, but even against bad teams we've struggled to score tds on offense. This is nice

* lots of misdirection

* the defense doesn't know what's coming under Tim Lester

 

[QChawks]

Keep an eye on Boise St at Oregon got that on side TV

I knew that 24 point betting line was way too high

Dammit

 

[Doctor Hawktagonapus]

Wetjen would have returned that

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

I thought Lutmer was returning punts?

Im fine with not risking him as a returner.

 

[Franisdaman]

There’s a guy holding a sign on Brady Street in Davenport that says “I’m not homeless. I just came in last place in fantasy football last year.”

i hope people give him money.

thats hilarious

 

[2D]

Well, RVZ isn't Wetjen. But as long as we have sure hands catching punts, that's the important thing.

Defense looking sharp.

 

[Andrewrayhons]

Its Jeremy time! Let's see what he can do, two more quick TDs and I'll feel good about this game.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Literally getting 4 plays and then commercial break

 

[Lionhawk85]

This N ILL team looks like they’re D2…. Ouch.

Brown looked real good the first two series. But feels like Deacon Hill would have looked about the same. Already wondering if this game is going to give us any answers on QB going forward. Pressure on Heck to respond here, but assuming he does, this is going into week 2!

 

[Jonesy5960]

Wetjen would have housed that

FIFY..

 

[Trakker]

I just got home and turned on the game. Did we miss an extra point?

Not according to gary

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

WE GOT BIG PLAYS ON OFFENSE!?!?!?!

 

[r_desihawk]

Wetjen would have returned that

yeah unless i am misremembring there wasn't anyone within 10 yards...

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

KM will eclipse 100 yards rushing in 1st qtr. I am impressed with this Offense.

 

[Lionhawk85]

Jesus our Oline…. Mauling.

 

[r_desihawk]

kamari looks slimmer and faster...

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

I just got home and turned on the game. Did we miss an extra point?

Missed it badly, sadly.

 

[Demger]

We should end up with about 500 yards on the ground today.

 

[Franisdaman]

Hope the OL opens holes like this next week and in B1G play

 

[Andrewrayhons]

Woooo!

 

[Hawksfor3]

Good grief, KM!!!!!
