*****Iowa St vs Iowa Game Thread*****

[Moral]

This is an Iowa St. team coached by a bunch of FCS 30-somethings in year one with a roster of Mountain West players.

Just ponder that.

Pretty impressive honestly. I thought ISU was going to be way worse than they seem to be.

Really enjoyed the 4th down QB sneak when the line judge came running in at the 1st down mark... Announcers saying "looks like they'll have the 1st down". Then the official curves to the side to mark it a foot short...

Officiating 101 right there

The far side did it first, then the near side mimicked him. They both originally had first down mark.

Just ponder that in case you're unsure about who it is that's outcoaching and outplaying us in Kinnick tonight. Lol.

****, they're going to win a natty next season? That sounds like a younger Cig.

 

[85Bears]

Fail to see why that equates to Iowa struggling with ISU in Kinnick, especially this season's version of the game.

Fail to see how cyhawk game relates to Ohio state

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

That Ohio State game in 2009 was when I realized Kirk was playing to lose. It was really awful. But this is 2026. The game is tied.

Right. I’m not comparing the two games, but you get the point about Kirk’s mentality.

 

[Kirbs]

KM 7 carries for 21 yards.

This right here. The OL is getting owned, and until the Hawks can run more effectively, it’s going to be ugly

 

[HawkBall23]

Pretty impressive honestly. I thought ISU was going to be way worse than they seem to be.

It only counts when Ben McCollom takes an MVC roster to the Elite8, while having come from the B1G.

F* ISU!

Buckeyes rolling

not playing turtle ball

 

[ottumwan in tx]

I heard from people here in austin the tickets to the game were like Taylor swift teritory

 

[85Bears]

This right here. The OL is getting owned, and until the Hawks can run more effectively, it’s going to be ugly

Iowa state is selling out to the run and Lester/Hank can’t make them pay with the passing game

 

[Hawksfor3]

This right here. The OL is getting owned, and until the Hawks can run more effectively, it’s going to be ugly

And we can't pressure Raynor. Bad combo.

Superior talent and playing like it.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Would really appreciate a 34-10 victory here Kirk.

Please and thanks.

F* ISU!

And.....................................................................Wisconsin.

Totally. That game was a gut punch.

To quiet the crowd is impressive in austin, that place gets loud . Look, last year manning was exposed as not being great and so was sark

 

[HawkBall23]

Would really appreciate a 34-10 victory here Kirk.

Please and thanks.

If there's a Pick6 and a fumble recovery really deep in ISU territory, it could happen.

Otherwise, prepare to have to sip on upset stomach cures for this last 30 minutes.

Phil HAS to ratchet up the pressure in the second half. The clowns were completely comfortable in the first half. Raynor needs to have the fear of God put in him. And grab that stupid RB who is just rolling off tackle and falling forward for 5 yards.

Thanks for the stupid post, Ohio states nil fund makes us look like FCS funding

 

[Opie Oids]

I really hope Kirk is delivering a good halftime speech.

Kirk at halftime, and me sometime in the third quarter:

 

[WigPen]

I left a kid's birthday party for this? C'mon boys, make it worth it!

 

[MFinn]

I'm convinced that Kirk would rather win a game 3-0 on a last second 53 yard field goal than win by four touchdowns and let the backups get a few reps.

 

[QChawks]

We look like dmac compared tOSU my gawd

OSU in FG range with 19 seconds and throws TD

KF would never

Cmon. KF wouldn't fall asleep.

(that's what the gum chewing is for)

Fact. Championship contenders don't play turtle ball. Remember Saban pulling Hurts in the NC and putting in freshman Tua? Bama won.

Pretty impressive honestly. I thought ISU was going to be way worse than they seem to be.

Are you saying Beth should put him on speed dial?

Poor open field tackling. Dude, you gotta make that stop.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

Thinking the same when i saw it

 

[Demger]

Dial up some pressure if our front 4 can't.

 

[Hawksfor3]

I've been "Harping" on this in the 1st half. Raynor camping out behind the center.

 

[2D]

All the time in the world for Raynor.

 

[HawkBall23]

Pardon me while I go find the biggest puke bucket I can find .......

 

[QChawks]

damn we suuuuuccccckkkkkkk

 

[Demger]

Lutmer is not making the plays like he should be.

 

[MFinn]

Can't stop the run, can't stop the pass. Someone needs to force a turnover real soon.
