Yup. Also, this is gonna be the biggest area where we miss a QB like Gronowski.
Granted, like you said, you can chalk some of that to Game 1 play calling, but not having a true run-pass threat at QB will make a difference.

Honestly, I just wanted to come away with a clear winner or great QB play from both guys. Haven't had either. Makes me even more nervous for the Clowns.
Just a horrible decision by Heck. Throw it away. NIU gets the ball at the 20 instead of the 2. Just forcing stuff that is not there! 
Wow……just wow. Amateur hour.
Is there a world where we install heck for specific goal line packages? He seems a better runner like Mark in a way.... hank is regular but pepper in heck at goal line? Is that too crazy to think or do?
Now that int was crap by heck....

Based on what we have seen today, absolutely.
The interception on 4th doesn't matter much in that part of the field. In that situation you have to at least take a shot even if it's risky.
Like I said, the biggest difference will be which QB can be most effective/efficient in the red zone (and more importantly inside the 10).

Up 33. I don't think that have to play field position.
You're the moron whose contribution amounts to emojis.
Go get vaccinated.
I got bad eyes, but didn't see anything close to a jersey grab or pull on that supposed pass INT called on Iowa.
And.... Our defense just always takes care of its business. A+ today from them
I think we've found our new Wetjen!
True, could have got Iowa back to 35 so people didn't know about kicking issues.
Confirmed
Evan James!
You have won the punt return job!

All that's needed now is a Pick6 by the Hawk D and it will have been a full on azz-kicking of a win today.
Got one thing settled today. Would nice to settle that QB battle
Holy **** EJ looked very Wetjen like with his cuts. Not as fast but he's got some wheels too
Probably the most sound game I have seen Iowa play in decades … yes that damn good!
offense and special teams have put up points. time for phil's unit to step up and contribute something.
WE CAN STILL RETURN PUNTS FOR TDS!!!! THERE'S STILL HOPE FOR THIS TEAM YET!!! 
Gotta disguise that better, especially if it's pretty clear the first time that NIU is pretty intentionally looking for that play if we pass................
I could tell as soon as the ball was snapped our TEs weren't gonna release and be open. NIU knew to look for that. So our staff will need to adjust.
We wasted two plays running the classic TE chip-and-release goal line routes, and NIU had it well-scouted.
