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

[Blackleaf40]

Surprised players aren't cramping up with this heat

 

[Jonesy5960]

Has Iowa ever held an opponent to no first downs in a half under Kirk?

 

[Hawksfor3]

 

[QChawks]

run the ball

 

[2D]

Remember when IowaLaw said Moulton was bad. Dude is clearly RB1.

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

It looks like our run game takes a HUGE dip without RB1…

 

[Andrewrayhons]

At this rate do we see Sullivan, Bessinger or Fitzgerald?

 

[Hawkedup]

Heck seems to stand strong in the pocket, even when it's collapsing. That's one thing Brown doesn't do.

Yes. The play he got drilled on but completed the pass was a thing of beauty. I am glad I don’t have to make this decision. Both qb’s are doing fine. Neither one is great but both are serviceable.

 

[Demger]

45 yards for them...... maybe??

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

I'm rooting for Hanklinski to win the job.

They just need to do the Fusion Dance and get it over with......

 

[JerseyCityHawk]

So far we have absolutely NOTHING to BEEEEATCH about besides this humidity is god awful… lose a few pounds today!

 

[HawkBall23]

WHERE'S HECK?!?!?

 

[r_desihawk]

get brown out...horriblest throw of the day

 

[Demger]

Pick 6 vs a decent team

 

[HawkBall23]

That was an INT if the NIU DB doesn't have butter fingers.

 

[Lionhawk85]

Oooh, lucky that wasn’t picked.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Hank can RUN!

Nice

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

Ok we could have a problem with Hank locking onto 1 receiver and not seeing route 2 or 3

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

That first down run just sold me completely on Brown.

 

[TRHawkeye28]

Hank is sucking now - but nice scramble

 

[2D]

Give it to Hank, dude has long legs/stride and he can scoot.

 

[r_desihawk]

brown runs like a deer...pretty cool thing to have in the back pocket

 

[DBHawkSoCal]

One thing I’ve seen with brown which is the Iowa way

only looks at the first read.
I don’t remember the last time an Iowa QB went to their 2nd or 3rd read….that wasn’t a check down

 

[Franisdaman]

Brown showing off his wheels

 

[Lionhawk85]

the is the most complete set of receiving weapons I can remember us having!

 

[QChawks]

Well boyz, after 1/2 of football I can clearly say I think we’re gonna win at least six games this year

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Surprised players aren't cramping up with this heat

I didn't cramp up playing sports until I was 34 yrs old. It's not as hard to avoid as people may think.......

 

[HawkBall23]

Where's BF??

This moving the ball and scoring at will thing is too radical for me.

 

[r_desihawk]

That was an INT if the NIU DB doesn't have butter fingers.

yeah easy pick six if he gets it in stride
looked like rudock's game losing throw against niu

 

[Kirbs]

Brown is a 1 read sort of passer, it looks like. That might not work against Michigan or even ISU

 

[HawkBall23]

Interference yet AGAIN, and not called

 

[Hawkedup]

Incomplete but man, I am loving Diaz.

 

[Demger]

Let's throw to the shade side of the field.

 

[QChawks]

Incomplete but man, I am loving Diaz.

best WR in a long time

 

[Doctor Hawktagonapus]

McNeil tackled by the turf

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Has Iowa ever held an opponent to no first downs in a half under Kirk?

Don't know about that. I think the closest we've come is negative yards rushing or passing.

 

[Franisdaman]

the is the most complete set of receiving weapons I can remember us having!

It took a minute for Lester to convince WRs that we'd actually get them the ball

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Boy.... Our RBs aren't rising up to Moultons level

 

[HawkBall23]

Too many easy passes being incomplete due to missed throws.

Now we're back to reminding me of the BF days.

 

[HawkBall23]

Tony Diaz is a playmaker.

I like this dude.
