Defense looks slow to react out of sync, what you would see when you return the least snap counts in the BIG

Punting on 4th and 1 was the right call.

The play calling has been exactly what I expected: more vanilla than an albino.

If the game plan for the offense is to establish the run, it’s going to be another long afternoon for the Hawkeyes on the road.
It was not the right call. Hank would have picked that first down up easily. KF's balls pulled back into his belly

Bend, bend, bend, bend for 90 yards there...

Let's use DJ on offense here and throw past the line of scrimmage.

Iowa getting manhandled by a ****** Michigan offense. Going to be a long season. Might be a 4 win season . Barely beat ISU who is currently getting throttled by Utah.

Dang, all that trash talk on Underwood (and to be fair, he's often been really bad) and he's looking really solid against our D.

The Boogeyman….yeah…..The only thing scary about this offense is how slow it is. The difference in athleticism is noticeable.

Wow, Ferentz does not go for the first down, grow a set if balls, oh, its Michigan at Michigan where Ferentz has never won, and he tightens up again, plays scared, gets a stop but then has a terrible 3 and out and Michigan goes right through Iowa defense. I did not think that Iowa defense would allow that to happen.

JHC … that half yard they didn’t go for might haunt them… they better not do a three and out

I sure wish Iowa had gone for it on that 4th and inches from midfield. They're going to need to score points and that's the kind of low risk/benefit decision you need to make.
