Buffington.

Buffington's performance can't be denied.

Buff

I think so too. For the clones I was impressed by that RB from Adel. I wish he had walked on at the UI.

Honestly, I think he has that same grit that Wetjen had. Hard to put it into words, but I can see it.

 

[Sett1997]

I have to go with Buhr. Clutch! Rookie kicker, big stage, made the first kick, iced, said mehh no problem, I'll make it again.
Then, game winner!

ISU's DE Tirrell kept coming up in the last week. Seemed to me that Lauck did a good job of keeping him away from Hank.

How about the holder on field goals…there were two poor snaps tonight that he caught & put down in place.

[Hawkfan_08*]

Buhr is my pick.

Buffington was fantastic.

Diaz is the wr we always wanted. Vonnamme had a good game minus the drops.

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

Buhr. He didn't miss, even when his own team called TO. He's not chilled, he's just chilling. Made 1 at the end of the first half and then hit the game winner and neither were chip shots. At the time, I was upset with leaving the game up to a guy that missed an XP last week and also missed badly on a FG attempt but low and behold, damned if I wasn't proved wrong. And I'm happy about it.

Philpott, the holder, for corraling that bad snap on the go-ahead FG

That wasn’t the only bad FG snap this year that Paler Emptykettle has had to corral. They need to get that fixed.

Philpott, the holder, for corraling that bad snap on the go-ahead FG

It was a great snap if Buhr was a lefty.

Buhr

 

[r_desihawk]

In addition to buffington (glaring omission) i probably should also have offered Everitt as pog choice. guy was money and we needed him.

• Punts: 6

• Total Yards: 264

• Average Yards per Punt: 44.0

• Inside the 20-yard line: 4

• 50+ Yard Punts: 1

diaz, buhr, or brown?

As per normal, Iowa's Defense and Special Teams won this game. So no-brainer it's Buhr. (honorable mention to Buffington, the punter and the holder).

 

[eyesofhawk]

Team win

 

[rchawk]

Buffington is going to be 1st Team All-Big Ten before he graduates. That will be quite an achievement considering the 17 other schools.

The offense controlled the ball (and TOP) in the fourth quarter and put together a couple of nice scoring drives in the second quarter. We want more out of the O, of course, but I'd still say it was complementary football in all three phases.

I agree, though, with Buhr as the POG and Buffington as a close second.

 

[Hawkangler]

I'm going with:

Diaz - offense
Buffington - defense
Buhr - special teams
Everitt - Honorable mention

Really, when has an Iowa punter NOT been in the POG convo?

 

[uihawk82]

Buffington

Good call or give it to the whole defense because the defense won the game again. The early failed 4th and 1 QB sneak flipped field position for ISU and they got a FG off of it. Then a TD but the defense tighted it down from there

A good thread @desihawk, keep it going after each game if you can

 

[Stoopsbrother]

without Diaz this is a L

Who was the dude that flew by the ISU QB in the end zone which would have been a safety?

Might have been Eppy, Lutmer was flying around too and overran a few plays but the team speed is real...

 

[Hawkangler]

Who was the dude that flew by the ISU QB in the end zone which would have been a safety?

Iosa Epenesa

Edit: Only his second syart, he'll come in under a little more control next time. OL chipped him a bit and their QB was elusive.

I am betting he was aware that his team was going to call the timeout. Only made sense to burn off more clock.

I am sure that clip was played over and over in film review

May be 1st team All-America..

Epenesa, but tbe QB stepped up in the pocket. Not that bad of a miss.

 

[oldxbbc]

Holder on last fg snap-unsung hero-really bad snap that he controlled!

Agree.....he also got caught crashing down on a reverse...did not stay home. He got yanked early in the game and got his butt chewed.....not exactly sure why. I think it was ISU's first series???
