*****Iowa St vs Iowa Game Thread*****
- Thread starter QChawks
- Start date
Just like everyone said: we have a QB and a kicker, but no running game or OL
Calling it now for those who are gonna troll the Clone boards after this game .....
It was the refs that cost them the chance(s) to win the game.
1000% guaranteed.

Kirk would go into a game against IC Regina hoping to eeek out a 20-17 win.
A little 69 tonight will plump those suckers right up.
Watching that kick replay..... That was good from 60
Hank Brown 21/30 for 190. One massive shot, good accuracy after some early dangerous balls. Took care of the ball otherwise. Good win.
Honestly, a couple balls played well by ISU that could/should have been Iowa catches.
But, the same Kirk Ferentz would also go into a game with Dowling and try to keep it to a 17-20 game.
The biggest concern is that ***** Jimmy outcoached Kirk with a bunch of nobodies on the roster. Straight up. The clowns were better than us in almost every regard. Running game, LOS, special teams, defense. We only were better with the passing game, which is hard to believe.
Absolutely sucks to say, but Rodgers was likely a home run hire for those losers. Better hold on tight for next year, they'll have two weeks to prepare, and they'll want revenge.

It was embarrassing. For Iowa.
It seems like it doesn’t matter how good Iowa is or how bad Iowa state is , the score is always 16-13
Watch to the end.
How does it feel, Clowns?

i suppose you are right but i was trying to empathize with how michigan might have felt without cheating
And the crazy thing is, everyone knew they would totally commit to stoping the run and short passing game. And yet it appeared the Iowa Offensive Staff somehow didn’t get the memo.
It’s really not asking too much of the Iowa QB’s to throw a pass to the correct shoulder and allow Diaz to make a play on it. And yet somehow Brown managed to put one ball n a good spot for him. Gotta be better than that.
Did he though? Iowa had more passing yards, had more first downs, allowed fewer yards, allowed fewer points, had fewer penalties, had fewer punts. ISU lost a time out to a failed icing the kicker, lost a time out to a player being injured. And Iowa got the W.
ISU played well, game planned well, but I don’t think he straight up out coached Iowa.
Buffington kept us in the game. He will be playing on Sundays.
I suppose it's up to the individual, but his boys were ready. In hindsight, our defense did a very good job keeping Raynor at bay and not letting him beat us with his legs. Lester adjusted and leaned on the pass which lead to us moving the ball. But no one had expectations for Rodgers, and his team already looks like a bowl team.
I think they got us on our heels early. But it ended up being 16-3 Iowa down the stretch. Not bad for a team that didn’t have a clear starter at QB until this week.
I think ISU benefitted from the refs letting a lot of things go early. When they tightened up their calls, ISU slowed way down.
DL is prob our biggest issue right now.
I think too many people assumed ISU would be terrible when really nobody knew anything about them this year. It’s a rivalry game, anything can happen and the Hawks got the W. Thats the most important thing especially this early in the season
It is obvious now they do
Not the dominant performance that we wanted, but saw signs of life on offense. Really need good news on Moulton.
They did manage to outscore ISU 16-3 after the 1st half hole

This would make sense, all things being equal.
All things weren't equal in this game.
Our roster is more talented than theirs. Our coaches are more experienced than theirs. It was on our home field. It was a night game at Kinnick. This is their coaches' 1st season at ISU. This is their players' 1st season at ISU.
ISU outcoached us. Their players were more physical. Honestly their players seemed to care more.
Iowa was ranked #21 in the country going into their game. Their team was picked to finish last in the Big 12.
You can try convincing yourself otherwise all you want but this was not a good W for us.
This game, never in doubt. The officials all of their kids are getting braces and going to college, paid for.
I’m fairly worried that our offense still cannot put points on the board.
ISU with new coaches and brand new players in their new system and we’re unable to curb stomp them, AT HOME, with our 38-year head coach?
Concerning.

Have you watched Kirk for 28 yrs??? When he plays one guy and not the other…. The whole game. The other guy usually goes and looks around. Usually. Or waits for an injury. Which is not good.
I suppose it’s not good if you’re looking for reasons to be disappointed.
As I’ve said all along, the Hawks don’t have a QB cause they didn’t go get one.
Now looks like Hank is KF chosen one cause he’s the least likely to throw an interception. It’s absurd.
I’d be shocked if HB isn’t #1 on the depth chart next week.
