Iowa has a lot to fix.
Hopefully this game was a wake up call. Iowa State had no business being in this game.

A win is a win, BUT…

I always go back to the 2009 UNI game. I was certain we were cooked after that game. We all know how that year turned out. We could suck, or, it was just a rivalry game where we underperformed. Time will tell.
There’s always things to fix but I actually didn’t think they looked that bad. The D was very stout and when it came down to win it, Iowa could move the ball on a P4 rival and Iowa State couldn’t.
Terribly coached game, the boys were not prepared. The clowns were hungry, ready, and aggressive. Iowa was caught off guard and couldn't match it.
We've got a lot of good tape to improve off of this. But these Ferentz September Slumps suck.

I was worried about ISUs D. It's a funky alignment that made it very difficult to run. Brown looked fairly sharp passing for most of the night so that gives me hope for the rest of the season.
The Big 12 supervisor of officials needs to take a look at a few things in that game.
They were selling out on the run. It’s obvious KF/TL are trying to put Brown in situations to be successful (lots of runs, high percentage passes) etc, but when it came down to it, Hank moved ball enough to get scores.
I think Hank solidified his spot as starting QB tonight.
I have never felt worse after a win
Pathetic effort all around.

Iowa State is very well coached. This series will remain close every season. If they could hang with us with a collection of G6 misfits, they will continue to win their share as they build up Big 12 talent.
Iowa not being "up" for this game has been a recurring problem throughout the KF era.....and I'll never understand it.

Amazed ISU could put together a team like that with 83 new players.
Heck of a coaching job.

Least satisfying win I can remember in a long time.
2022 vs SDSU would like a word
It’s the new age. There is no rebuild. Every P4 team can afford a decent roster.
Good lord did he miss a ton of deep shots
However, in this era of NIL…will they really get “Big 12 talent”…whatever that is?
I second that to quote dbag coach jimmy what he said at their bball game F@#k Iowa state.
I expected our team to come out bully them based upon the last two years and the decided advantage we had on talent and continuity. I’m glad we won but that was a dogshit coaching job in terms of preparation and game plan.
JFC dude. It’s Iowa fvcking state. A win is always satisfying against those fvcks. Imagine for one minute we lost to a cyclone team that has zero returning starters from last year.
Clowns even brought their hand picked crappy refs and still couldnt win, some of those missed calls where so obvious and horrible and yes typical Kirk coached game but get rid of that horrible tush push
Now the Hawks hoops teams (both men and women) need to smack down the clones.
They run a scheme on both D and O that will serve them well in the Big12. ISU once again has found a good coach. Problem as always will be keeping him if he's successful.
same ole crap. On paper should be a easy Hawk win , but we do this every single year. Let clown U hang around and try and steal one late. Maddening. This game ages me 5 years every damn season
After we crush Northern Iowa 18 to 13 the restored confidence will give us the edge in the first 3 conf. games.
UNI 2009 immediately comes to mind. That just felt dirty.
Wasn't pretty, but Iowa seems to stumble against inferior teams early, especially ISU. I look at what Mich did against WMU last week and what they did to OU this week. Just get out with a win and move on.
From a confidence reason alone it was a big win but still a lot to figure out. Why they could run the ball better than us when I thought that would be our biggest advantage. DJ only getting 2 catches and Diaz with 3 yards in the 2nd half...too many punts not getting caught and leaving us with crappy field position. Goal line offense still a major struggle also.
7-3 with 2 safeties and a FG against a 1-AA team didn't feel worse? Somebody share Animal House BS GIF.
Always easier to get up as the underdog. We’re rarely the underdog in this rivalry.
I'd have to go back and watch again but the only two bad misses on deep balls i can really remember was the go ball to RVZ that ended up 5 yards out of bounds and the first post to Diaz on back to back plays in the first half.
He tried to get Diaz on one 50/50 ball in the first half that got batted away and underthrew one in the 2nd half when he got hit on a blitz and Diaz got held trying to come back for it. I don't put either of those on Hank.

Something tells me ISU spent all of fall camp prepping for this game, with one week prepping for SEMO, so all their eggs in the beat Iowa basket.
How many upperclassmen on the lines for ISU? From what they said on the broadcast it looked like the majority
We came into this game ranked with most expecting Hawks would dominate. Coaches and players had very limited knowledge on what to expect from ISU. We got punched im the face early, went down two scores, can't the run the ball, refs were letting ISU punks get away with some really dumb ****. Pressure was at its peak and our guys didnt panic. They buckled down and came back to assert themselves as the better team in a tough situation.
Coach clone (whatever his name is) was pretty pissed/bummed in post game. He could hardly stay around to finish answering questions.
Some yeah whatevers, they'll be fine, is that it and out the door. Latest
