PLAYERS have to make the plays. 7 COSTLY Mistakes today.

Franisdaman · 2026-10-24T18:02:53-0500

7 major miscues today:

3 Interceptions
1 Lost Fumble

Defensive offsides on a Gopher 4th down incompletion gave MN a 5th DOWN and MN scored 7 points on the next play

1 Blocked punt cost IOWA 3 points

Punt return fumble at the end that would have basically set us up for the game winning FG. Instead we had to be bailed out by the penalty and had to start on our own end.

Franisdaman · 2026-10-24T18:04:35-0500

And both QBs missed wide open throws.

Franisdaman · 2026-10-24T18:06:42-0500

Why we didn't show up mentally is inexcusable

DuddyB · 2026-10-24T18:10:11-0500

Way more than 6. probably closer to 20. We were catching some breaks too.

yeah, how many missed passes?

Franisdaman · 2026-10-24T18:12:24-0500

Minnesota gave up 41 points and 464 yards to Purdue.

This is inexcusable.

Don't forget the punt return at the end/fumble that would have basically set us up for the game winning FG. Instead we had to be bailed out by the penalty and had to start on our own end.

One of the few players that showed up was Tanner Philpott.

Another exceptional hold by Tanner here. He also came up big on the game-winner vs. Iowa State.

Heck wasn't as on as last week but this game was lost when KF went to Brown.

DuddyB · 2026-10-24T18:37:26-0500

4 TOs and a blocked punt. 3 other fumbles we had that we recovered. A dropped INT that would’ve sealed it essentially. Basically we tried everything possible to try and lose and finally succeeded

SoonerBeAHawk · 2026-10-24T18:39:06-0500

The gifted 7 points from being lined up like 2 feet offsides just cast a pall over the rest of the second half.

Incredibly bone headed and costly penalty.

edgar dubois · 2026-10-24T18:43:06-0500

I still cant believe what i just witnessed. I need to see dr for alumni abuse.

Yeah, true I suppose but what bites is neither did Minnesota it feels like. Sucks.

DuddyB · 2026-10-24T19:03:35-0500

I’m not surprised we blew a game we shouldn’t, it was going to happen. But the manner we blew this game… there are no words. I kind of hope we lose another game or two because of this is the effort that caused us to miss the playoffs it’ll nag at me for a decade.

Roncuba65 · 2026-10-24T19:04:56-0500

Par the course for KF to lose a game we shouldn't...

LetsGoHawks83 · 2026-10-24T19:08:27-0500

Time to just defer the NIL funds for a year to the BBall team. We have a championship level Coach there

83Hawk · 2026-10-24T19:11:00-0500

Was I surprised Iowa lost today? No. I actually expected it because things were looking so good after the Washington win, but we can’t have nice things. This was destined to happen.

I was, however, surprised at how embarrassingly bad they were.

its a game the players should have won on the field. just too many mistakes

ConvenientParking · 2026-10-24T19:15:34-0500

Didn't get to watch but listened to Dolph and Angerer. Sounded like we just kept shooting ourselves in the dick and Minny didn't as much. They Iowa'd us. Dolph made it sound like Vonnhame stumbled on that third down play on our last series, here people are saying Brown missed him so idk there. We needed to run the ball today and failed to do so

Gonzo_Bloor · 2026-10-24T19:15:54-0500

Let's not let the coaches off the hook here. Yes the players made many mistakes but Kirk and Co. were thoroughly outcoached by Minnesota. They had our offense on lockdown the entire game.

i really thought when we tied it at 10 that we were gonna pull the rabbit out of the hat

And things went so much better with Hank…..

TRHawkeye28 · 2026-10-24T19:24:04-0500

Franisdaman said:

Lol like Hank was any better. I wish Kirk would just come out and admit Hank is his favorite. I would actually have more respect

But ultimately it doesn't matter. Both QBs are so average...at best. Do we really have to put up with one of these guys the next 2 years?

Let's rip the bandaid off and start playing Sullivan or Bessinger if they have shown any ability to be decent QBs. No harm in trying to play for the futurr at this point. Season is done anyway for any meaningful outcome

Franisdaman · 2026-10-24T19:35:17-0500

Good perspective. Crazy that Iowa hadn't lost at Minnesota in 12 years.

Look for another "or" for Monday's depth chart.

Check this out & watch:

The season isn’t done (except for any chance at the playoffs, which I never thought they would make, anyway). There is still hope for 9-3, and even a very slim chance at 10-2.

Throwing Sullivan or Bessinger out there would be a disaster, IMO. Give them reps in any blowouts, yes. Otherwise have a true QB competition in camp next year.

Franisdaman · 2026-10-24T19:41:59-0500

If not for this bone headed play....

Heck was 9/16 62 yds 1 int after 16 passes brown was 8/16 39 yds and 1 int.

lester was abysmal today. Saw with 2nd drive we got to the 10 with early pass plays there on 1st especially rpo which same play for Diaz big gain. But do we continue with trend, no we try and force the run all game 30 for 90 yds and little short passes against stacked box. And when we did throw an incomplete on first we ran it least 4x on 2nd and 10 for 1 or no gain. But when we got ball back just over 3 min to go back to conservative play calling was BS weak stuff by Lester.
