Have not kept in the thread and I’m sure everyone is saying the same thing, but Jesus they are getting away with holding on offense. Throw in a couple of missed face mask calls and that’s the difference.
******Iowa vs USC Game Thread******

They compete. They just don’t have enough talent or speed on defense.
The officials are officiating this game like they have been instructed to keep USC in the playoff hunt.
That was clearly a PI on Hall, but how do you miss the complete mug on Aaron Graves that was in plain view of the ref? Should have been offsetting penalties.
This is the worst officiating job I have seen all season.
They also played back ups in the d line most of the 3rd quarter WHY?
They hold anytime we get close to pressure. And we can’t guard these guys 1 on 1 so you can’t blitz . We are ******
I don't think anyone has brought it up yet
how does such blatantly biased officiating happen with no repercussions? sad the dean of coaches has to take it and smile
Yup. Once again, not ready for Prime Time.
I’m sorry, but Phil Parker is losing it. Defense unprepared in the second half. Can’t hold a lead….AGAIN. Can’t make a stop.
Got nothing to lose by blitzing. Phil is so stubborn with his game plan.
How is this a choke job? USC is making some outrageous plays in tight coverage.
Going to need a Wetjen return for TD and probably a turnover to win this.
Laugh at me or whatever you want, but I'm tired of this same script every game vs ranked opponents for the last 13 tries now.
Don't think I've ever seen anything like this for Iowa. A meltdown of epic proportions.
Has the Iowa D stopped a single play this entire half?
At some point, Kirk is going to have to realize that being up 14 points is not a license to go into a shell. This is not the Big Ten West. You can’t score enough points against high octane offenses like USC.
That is a microcosm of why Iowa is about to be 0-13.
