*****Iowa vs Michigan Game Thread*****

[Denmar]

Not sure on that fair catch. It's not an easy job, but would have liked to see a return there

Either they’re being told to fair catch with less than a 10 yd cushion from the gunner or we have returners without the correct mindset.

 

[2D]

Terrible calls by Lester. Just terrible.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Need 7 yds and throw it to the LOS.

 

[TRHawkeye28]

Let's keep doing those 3 yard pass plays.... Working out geat

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

Wow. Horrendous 2nd possession

 

[DuddyB]

Let that keep rolling Lumer!!

 

[Grayhair1981]

Biff is back!

 

[QChawks]

BF calling plays today?

 

[bottlecaps]

need 7 yards, Iowa throws it 2 and hope for the best

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Here's hoping Michigan does a lot of shooting themselves in the foot today, cause Iowa ain't lighting the scoreboard up

Had something going the first possession. Need some routes past the line of scrimmage.

Also return the next punt please

 

[TRHawkeye28]

Terrible calls by Lester. Just terrible.

I think HB is just too quick to throw the short route

 

[JohnBeckwith]

Come on D. Not sure the O has the ability to put up more then 10-13 pts. Mich D is damn stout.

 

[HawkeyeFever]

Is this the Greg Davis offense again?

 

[wilson reborn]

Going to be a typical KF game.

Looking that way.

 

[paednoch23]

I’m hoping this a Phil saying “ ok this is what they are doing. This is what we need to do.” Series

 

[DuddyB]

Terrible calls by Lester. Just terrible.

Bad series from him there

 

[Whtnhawk]

Let's go defense. Your our best chance.

 

[Phat Stax]

*Iowa downs the ball at the 11
Dolph: And the ball rolls out of bounds at the 6. We'll be back after this break brought to you by Lennox.

 

[HawkBall23]

This is why you go for it on 4th and 1 over the fifty. You don’t get that many chances

Officially probably called 4th and 1, but it was inches.

The fact they couldn't get a play run because of starting the action so late in the play clock is just .......

 

[HuskerTherapist]

I’d like to see more of the TE leak play they ran on the first series. Especially with how aggressive the Mich DEs play

 

[85Bears]

This is why you go for it on 4th and 1 over the fifty. You don’t get that many chances

No you don’t go for it at midfield on first drive on the road against this defense. If you don’t make it, they have a short field, would have scored and have momentum.

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

Woof

 

[2D]

Should've gone back to DJV. Made their DBs looked silly out there the first drive. Everyone is looking at Diaz.

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

Had something going the first possession. Need some routes past the line of scrimmage.

Also return the next punt please

We’re doing the thing where we hope the other team makes too many mistakes to win.

Try not to lose vs Go out and take the win

 

[HawkinAnk74]

Yeah, there appears to be some wide eyes today. With the windows being tighter and coverage not as soft, I wonder how the Hawk WR's handle it.

 

[rchawk]

This is why you go for it on 4th and 1 over the fifty. You don’t get that many chances

Against Michigan in the first quarter? I'm glad we punted.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Thank God we didn't go for that 4th and 1.... LOL

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

Well we have another elite punter?

#PuntingIsWinning

 

[HawkBall23]

And here goes Michigan, gaining mo' .....

 

[QChawks]

pu$$y football

 

[Manfredi]

Missed tackle and the field is flipped

 

[BlIIlken2]

Game over

 

[85Bears]

Out of bounds

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

D is going to be on the field all day.

 

[NoPuntsNoPeace]

They look really fast.

can’t compete

 

[HawkBall23]

His toe tapped.

He's in.

 

[NoPuntsNoPeace]

His toe tapped.

He's in.

Beautiful catch

 

[AFM22]

They gonna say his toe was down before his knee

 

[2D]

Hawks losing the LOS. If we get behind, it'll be immensely difficult to get back in it.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

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.
