PLAYERS have to make the plays. 7 COSTLY Mistakes today.
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
You've heard of playing down to your competition. Now you're hearing about playing below your competition, lol.
You might want to take down your thread about Lester opening up the offense because we have 2 great QB’s.
10-2 aint happening. But yes you're right about a chance at 9-3. More likely we lose 2 more to get the typical 8-4. So what does it matter really? One of heck or Hank is going to bolt after the season anyway. Just wasting time
Let's play this out.... H or H plays next 2 years. Then you are playing Sullivan or Bessinger with no experience in 3 years. How is that any different than them playing now?
Sure...they have a couple more years in the program but they won't have any meaningful playing time. And now you are back to where you would be this year
If the argument is....well next year they will battle for the starting spot. If they have any chance to beat out H or H next spring ...then they are competent enough to play now for a few series to see how they do.
That's all I'm saying. If they all suck....then just hit the portal in the off-season. You'll at least have ammo to better make that financial decision
Never had seen the likes of it before. It's like shooting yourself in the foot until all your toes are gone.
Run game was pathetic is their an iowa law that was passed that says you cant run outside the tackles, same old year after year no matter the players with the pass game stinking it up with bad playcalling and qb play
He took the scenic route but he go to “that’s football!”
They almost looked like they had a tell exposed. Knew when we were going to that bootleg TE pass every time.
137 yards, 1 INT, O TDs, and a 90.4 QBR allowed is poor pass defense?
100%. Maybe you find something in the others ….these 2. No.
Heck doesn't make the two throws that Hank hit for our only TD. Not as big of an arm
Hank looked good at Michigan
Heck looked good at Washington
They both looked terrible today (except for Hank's TD throw)
we literally handed Floyd over to the Goofs
is it right that we don't play Minny again until 2030?
The rushes to passes was 30-20. Maybe should have relied more on the passing rather than rushing? Hard to say when you sucked today on both ends. They bottled us up at the LOS.
Oh thanks for reminding me!
Now PJ will be doing unspeakable things to poor Floyd for 4 years. Gross.
I think he deserved to work a little more in this game to see if he could get out of his funk. Both quarterbacks aren’t power4 quarterbacks, but somehow they’re on the Iowa roster which we know our quarterback evaluation is the worst in the Big Ten. So there might be a slight chance that Kirk and Company made a mistake by pulling him today. The results couldn’t have been any worse cause we lost.
#3’s bank account’s better be examined after lining up in Canada
Well, I'm guessing he feels terrible about it but yeah, he might as well have been carrying a neon sign reading "OFFSIDES" it was that obvious.
A play action pass in the first half set up Diaz for a wide open pass for an easy TD. Good blocking gave Heck a solid pocket to deliver the ball. What happened? His throw wasn't even close. RVZ drops a pass in his hands that bounces to a Gopher DB in the 2nd half.
I don't understand why everyone is sold on Heck. He's extremely inconsistent and Brown is just marginally better.
Who threw a TD pass and who threw an int in an easy FG field position?
He’s had a rough season frankly.
I'd actually consider a block punt to be 5 turnovers.
To put this on the defense is truly idiotic. 4 TOs a blocked punt. And they gave up 13 points. The only thing the defense did wrong was fall asleep with under a minute to go to get it to OT.
If he needs to be reminded how Fing bad that play was, I'll be happy to let him know. He cost Iowa the game. Period.
The one thing I was worried about was player execution coming out of the bye.
You can blame Kirk for the dogsh** record in bye games, and there is a common theme with his players' lack of execution.
However, I think even the coaches were befuddled at our players' stupidity today.
There were a number of shots of the staff on the sidelines with frustrated coordinators and Kirk at our mistakes and lack of execution.
And of course there's the shots of Kirk wincing every time Hecklinski did something against his liking, such as when he chose to pitch the ball to Ostrenga (I believe???) at the last second for a 7 yd gain, on a play that could've easily resulted in an illegal forward pass or fumble, because it was that close.
I think that play, more than anything, is what led to Heck having such a short leash today, at least based on Kirk's reaction..........
