Fire McNulty and the new OL coach for thinking that our LT can go 1-1 against #94 every single snap of this game.

Story of the half for us: 47 total yards, 3-13 and 1 INT for Carter, 10 minutes of time possession. Bad numbers for most, normal for us.

There are no moral victories
I am not hoping for moral victory. I don't think it was foregone conclusion we were in for a beat down. If we can get a score on First possession of second half, we have a shot. Defense has been playing good enough to win. With no offense production at all, we are now down 3 scores. not insurmountable, IF we can get the O going

At this point, all we can do is hope Carter just played his worst half of the season. That's a different guy out there, this week. I get Iowa is a better defense but he's not getting brutalized, I think he just played a horrible half of football.

A lot of opportunities with field position and Carter spit the bit. Let’s see if he has the ability to shake it off and wake up. Otherwise it’s same sh@t different year.

It's already 17-0 with Iowa in scoring position again. That's better? We're on the verge of an *** whopping again for umpteenth time.

With last year's squad, it would've been 35 to nothing at the half.

Its been a long time sine I saw an O-Line blow a D-line off the ball the way Iowa did on the sneak close to goal. Whoa.

Iowa believes they have the C needed to make that next step up the ladder.

I especially enjoy 2nd and 2 and we throw twice. Yea, don't play to your strength. Smart.

They are overthinking it.

McNulty has to be like, "They won't expect us to pass it on 2nd and short, so let's down that two times in a row when we have two great HBs who can fall forward for 2 yards"

The Positives:

The Rutgers kicking game is solid.
The defense showed up to play but they are exhausted.

The Negatives:

Rutgers has no offense--Carter seems to be panicking and missing open receivers.

The offensive line is weak and this is the same story year in and year out.

The announcers think that Iowa is the center of the earth for college wrestling when Rutgers had 2 national champs--New Jersey natives made up 40 % of the national champions and New Jersey natives made up 60 % of the Big Ten champions.

Iowa does have solid HS and college wrestling but last year Rutgers and New Jersey were the big story in college wrestling.

Can McNulty make offensive adjustments at halftime?

Can we go Run first in the 2nd half? Cause we can’t block 94 in pass protection.

We all predicted on average 2-3 wins this season. This is not shocking, this is expected. The whole sequence in that last field goal was indeed a giant FU to Ash.

If I believe Syracuse and mcnabb did something similar to Shea?? Took a knee with like 10 minutes to go as a joke

******** Miami of Ohio knew to double and sometimes triple #94.

Meanwhile Ash, McNulty, and the new OL Coach thinks O'Neal can hold him in check 1 on 1 EVERY SINGLE DOWN.

I wonder what Ash's halftime speech was like.

"Well, we were down 21-0 to UMass in the first and we came back, we're only down 20 right now, so we might have a chance."
