You got to open up the playbook: a reverse, a pass off of a reverse??

[uihawk82]

Wasnt RVZ a high school qb? run a reverse with the ball going to the left, given to RVZ going to the right and look for a deep ball for a big gain. At the least RVZ tucks and runs or throws it out of bounds..

Do we even have this in our playbook?

And with 3 seconds left call a timeout from your own 44, spread the field and try throwing a 30 yard pass or something to maybe get a PI and then a FG try.

Geez, this is what pissed me off about KF back around 2007-8, or the timid ending at OSU in 2009, etc.

Is this Lester or KF or both?

Pssst.. Hey Kirk. 3 yards and a cloud of dust gets you to 4th and 1 and a punt.

Yeah, we have had a few good runs, an 8, 5, 5, 6 yarder but the rest are 1-2 yards or negative yds

Honestly you could say about the same thing for the passing game. A couple of good passes but lots of really short gains.

I am glad they punted at mid-field on our first possession because if we go for it and miss and they drive short field for a TD then the crowd and the wolves would really smell blood

Lester says he has this huge playbook with all kinds of misdirection and potential big plays, yet he called a game that looked shockingly like Brian Ferentz was the OC again. And Iowa won anyway. How? Big Karma stopped by the Big House.

But in the 4th qtr when we needed a TD and then needed another TD we started passing the ball all over the place mixed in with some runs just to let Mich know we would run the ball, and guess what the hawks were very very good in their passing game.

Hank Brown made some great throws the last 20 minutes, the winning TD throw was a great back shoulder dart. Dont you think

I’m a Lester fan but isu and today seemed ultra conservative and even 2nd half trying to force run on first down too often. Lacked creativity where looking at underwood’s throwing numbers coming in Michigan put him in good position with roll outs and other schematic plays to get him in a good flow and lot more confidence throwing wise. Also helped his wr were making some tough grabs
