I don't think our coaching staff had a particularly good day. Regardless of the reasons if we needed to waste timeouts its on them. On two consecutive plays Ash is sprinting down the sideline to call a timeout. The first one he does not get there in time and then has to do it again the next play and gets the timeout. While I think we stopped them after the time out you think he could correct the issue in between plays. Iowa certainly was not playing fast. While schooled is a little harsh, the reality is that when Ash indicates there are things that need to get cleaned up it includes some of the communication between the coaches and with the players on the sideline during the games. I do think this staff seems capable of making in game adjustments pretty effectively.

Losing by a single touchdown to a team that went 12-0 last season is now called getting schooled?

seriously....there were a few keys plays that cost RU the game. The fumble, the OPI in the red zone, the 4 plays on the goal line. and CL missed a wide open man in the red zone... Just one of those going RU's way the game is different. No coach is going to call a "perfect game" .
There's going to be a lot of complaining if we don't beat Ohio State badly. Sensitive fans might want to stay away from the board for a few days after the game.
Ash showed his lack of coaching Ash showed his lack of coaching ability once again. There were plenty of mistakes made by the coaching staff but the most glaring deficiency is play calling and the lack of a system to fit the talent that we have because these games have all been winnable
Go have another drink
Yet if we would have scored when we had 1st and goal from the 3 yard line, to tie it up, and put us in a position to win the game, then Ferentz would have been schooled?
We failed to punch it in, but that is not the same as being schooled.
I give Plum St credit for being consistent. Some of you are douchebags to Flood. Some are douchebags to Laviano. Plum is just an all around Douchebag. Kudos for the consistency.

You could argue that you burn a timeout not to get a penalty, but not the last one you have....... Maybe you just have to let the penalty happen...
I think Laviano got the snap off in the last second when Ash called timeout, which would have been unfortunate
I don't even mind the way PS put his OP but moose has escalated to one of the dumbest thing I have ever read on this board and that says a lot.
I agree that Ash was outcoached. So freaking what? This is his 4th game ever as HC and look at the other sideline and realize how good the other guy has been for a long time.
My take on the subject is that if an extra defender runs out onto the field, there is some fault on coaching. If O is in illegal formation, there is some fault on coaching. If you can't see how much better this team is getting week after week, that is on being a dumb fan.

My only complaint is the play calling from the goal line near the end of the first half. Odin is in no way, shape, or form ready to run it up the gut in that circumstance lol. Overall, I was proud of the way the game went yesterday. I say that knowing that Iowa is far from the team they were last year. I'm incredibly impressed by the improvements in the secondary, discipline and conditioning. The harsh reality is that RU has maybe one division 1 QB on their roster, and he is a true freshman.
Enjoy the ride guys. Next year we have Oden, Lewis, Mitchell, Melton, Taylor and Harris. It looks like good time will be around the corner soon enough. Are we really going to do this nitpicking song and dance for every game in Ash's first year?

"these GAMES"?? Washington? NOT. Howard and New Mexico? We WON. There has been EXACTLY 1 "winnable" game that we haven't won and, sorry, but the system isn't getting changed nor should it. [cheers]
This is an asinine post. Apparently Plum Street saw a different game than I witnessed. The defense was solid all afternoon, the offensive line was stout at the point of attack against a very solid Iowa defense, and the main difference was that Beatheard is better than Laviano and Patten's fumble. The Rutgers team was very disciplined and had very few penalties.
How bout this: I don't give a sh2t. Ash is the coach now, and I support him. We're not getting Petrino or anyone else right now.
You, on the other hand, are a blowhard who's only interested in proving himself right.
AGREED. I'm not an x and o's guy and don't even remember what happened with that last TD series. However I was there and I know my cRUe was half livid because that fumble that led to the last Iowa TD was NOT a fumble but we didn't have the timeouts to go to the video. **AS my fRiends recalled we may have had to punt but Iowa would nOT have had the same field positon had RU punted the ball. Maybe they still score but maybe they don't it would still be 7-7. Not having Grant likely cost us another TD.
What were the costs in yardage of not taking those penaites? Was it worth fairly much giving up the winning touchdown/
Iowa also didn't score from out 10 when they decided to go for it on 4th instead of kick a FG to get their first points.
