I'm not saying Lester is the biggest reason for the offense being sucky today, but a lot less of those throws down the LOS or only just 3-4 yard tosses could go a long way in this 2nd half today.

Horrendous offense. Time to fire Lester. We have players now and still garbage offense.

You sit there and go, good lord the D is porous getting pushed around and then it’s half and they give up 10 and the O has a goose egg.

Giving up that decent-ish return was not the way to start the half ......

Yes, they had gotten 11 yards and a first down on that play.

It's almost like the biggest handicap isn't the refs.

underwood is growing dimes. Never seen him look this good. I made the comment before the QB difference will be the key today. and he’s stepping up.

Not so sure that happens. Conservative on both sides of the ball has been a staple of Kirk his entire career.

I just don't understand how the passing game for just about everybody but Iowa looks smooth most of the time and its always appears to be such a struggle for Iowa when we play good teams.

Might be the slowest most heavy footed DL we've ever had and that's saying something. Zero pass rush, zero get off.

Same.

Was in the process of posting "great, and now extra yardage for unnecessary roughness on throwing Underwood to the ground" before erasing.
