Those were some sexy plays and passes by Heck....

Hello mister Heck!

 

[2D]

Nice play there and a great pancake block

 

[Franisdaman]

And just like that Hank & Heck are even again!


LMAO

 

[HawkAlum2002]

hecklinski's number should be 5 based on size

No, Deacon should've worn about 77 based on his size.

 

[r_desihawk]

20-7 brown but hecklinksi appears to be mounting a comeback.

 

[TRHawkeye28]

Hey....heck completed that screen pass...

 

[Kirbs]

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

The NIU defense is worse than anything Iowa has played in awhile. I think Albany was tougher last year

 

[Franisdaman]

I’m having Deacon Hill flashbacks with this number 10 jersey again

Deacon was the Hill that Brian Ferentz died on.

 

[Bierhalter]

Wow...almost thought Heck was throwing that away.

He's done that weird spin in the backfield a couple times now, he didn't do that at the scrimmage did he?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

There's our (Kirk's) 27 pts........time to shut down the offense.

 

[HawkBall23]

Previous Kirk's mindset now being up 27, with a few minutes before halftime ....

 

[airhawk]

That was the easiest screen play ever. I am 70 years old with bad knees and I could have scored on that one

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

And just like that Hank & Heck are even again!


LMAO

Could have used either one of these guys in the Deacon season..... Can't believe we all lived through that season

 

[Franisdaman]

Crazy how all of a sudden people think Heck is the worst QB in Kirk's tenure thanks to a DJV drop and back to back penalties by the OLine.

Welcome to Message Boards.

 

[Lionhawk85]

qb separation seems to be happening before our eyes

Too soon. The difference to that point was two bad drops by Iowa WRs and huge runs while Hank was in.

Don’t forget Hank threw a bad ball on his first drive in the end zone on 3rd down where we were fortunate to get a PI called (it was indeed PI). But that was a bad ball and wouldn’t have ended in a Td throw by Hank had it not happened. Then two huge Moulton runs.

 

[Jonesy5960]

Heck had my vote before the game, but I am comfortable with hank if that is the way it shakes out. I think we have two qbs.
Last year we had 60 passing yards against the worst team in the country game 1.

That was really hard to watch.

 

[Herky_Hancock]

Heck everytime he gets a snap in shotgun

 

[Lionhawk85]

Regardless how this goes, I feel like we have 2 QBs we can win with!

 

[MAKhawks]

And just like that Hank & Heck are even again!

Albany was really bad.

Hello mister Heck!

Time to name Heck the starter!!!!

 

[PinkShizzle]

The Hawks are expected, as they should be, to put a whooping on NIU. But we've seen many of times in the past where they should smack lesser opponents and struggled mightily. This is a nice feeling.

 

[r_desihawk]

There's our (Kirk's) 27 pts........time to shut down the offense.

the conspiracy against heckliniski becomes too obvious if he shuts down the offense now
otoh if he lets it play out and score becomes 20-20 (brown-heck) he's got a major headache on his hands

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

QC just relishes in lamenting.

It’s a dumb comment. No one doesn’t understand Deacon Hill wasn’t Big Ten material. There’s no reason to continue to take shots him.

 

[Moral]

This is what the 49ers must have felt like when they had Montana and Young.

 

[Herky_Hancock]

Also Boston Everett's punt was actually pretty decent

 

[Franisdaman]

Could have used either one of these guys in the Deacon season..... Can't believe we all lived through that season

we might have gone 12-0

instead, we went 10-2

and then lost the next 2

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

I can just see Iowalaw on his review telling us how much of a bust L.J. Phillips was.

 

[Hawksfor3]

And just like that Hank & Heck are even again!


LMAO

How do you like Ference kicking to a Ferentz team?

 

[Hawkfan82]

That was the easiest screen play ever. I am 70 years old with bad knees and I could have scored on that one

He caught the ball in stride. That takes touch.

 

[like-woahh]

I'm rooting for Hanklinski to win the job.

 

[oldhawk56]

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

He gets the Dolph pass.. Pat just ignores him and moves on

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Always love how impressed that the reporters are when the QB in the QB battle is LOCKED in and following the plays when they are on the sidelines.

I mean.... Do you expect him to be kicking back and chatting up with the fans?

 

[r_desihawk]

vanderzee is no wetjen

 

[Moral]

I'm rooting for Hanklinski to win the job.

[r_desihawk]

sit moulton and wrap him in bubble wrap.

 

[TRHawkeye28]

Hank is throwing some nice balls - nothing like kids day

 

[HawkBall23]

Run blocking looks a lot better with Brown in the backfield, or they are are just running KM with him vs the other guys.

 

[Andrewrayhons]

Hank does look really good right now though. His passes are just more crisp than Hecks.
