******Iowa vs USC Game Thread******

[im4hawks50595]

Well, Iowa isn't folding late in these games. They just don't have the talent to make those last couple big plays to win.

nothing to do with talent when your coachs pucker up their butthole with offensive playcalling

 

[Hawkedup]

I don’t care what anyone. This game falls squarely on the shoulders of the coaching staff. Zero creativity from the offense in the second half and no pressure, none from the defense today. Our d line was exposed Billy today and Parker did nothing to draw up pressure. Frustrating but that’s football.

 

[Mitch122_rivals]

So many people bitching about bad luck. Jesus Christ. The QB isn't accurate. The coach is too conservative and hasn't beaten a good team in years. The play calling is all over the place. Luck has nothing to do with it.

Nothing at all? K

 

[Roncuba65]

Kirk Ferentz needs to retire

 

[AFM22]

NOTHING HAS GONE OUR WAY ALL ******* YEAR. NOTHING

"People need to stfu about Iowa caving."

 

[2D]

Arguably one of the biggest meltdown's in Kirk's tenure.

 

[DTP2]

This loss is sickening for so many reasons.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Maybe next year we can beat a ranked team..

What a joke

 

[83Hawk]

I will be shocked if Iowa beats MSU. This team is poorly coached.

Nebraska? Bet the farm on the Huskers.

 

[kwik44]

This game is solely on Kirk. He said at half time we wanted to limit their possessions, yet it put the offense stagnant. Just fricken pathetic. Changes the game when you don’t keep playing to what got you there in the first. Stop trying to dictate the game Kirk.

The Oregon game set me back this one may have broken me

 

[MAKhawks]

It's almost like you should have thrown it on 3rd & 9.

Nah, save it for a low percentage pass attempt on 4th down.

 

[WeBeHerkin]

Welp. Either Oregon or SC will be out after next week. I’m guessing Oregon trucks them.

 

[Garzatough85]

We suck on the West Coast.

We suck against any decent team when anything is on the line

 

[Hawkedup]

I completely agree. This one is all on the coaches. Just pathetic from this coaching staff in the second half.

 

[Doctor Hawktagonapus]

Oregon will thump them

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

We got pushed around like little boys in the second half.

What's that you say? I thought we'd roll to victory today.

Wait, I've been watching Iowa football for 24 years so I know better.

 

[SeenItAllBefore]

Another loss for a coach that hasn’t beaten any team with a pulse in 4 years. Ride into the sunset.

That will take, at a minimum, 2 losing seasons.

 

[3-D_chess]

Fitting end. Every single opposition receiver gets that toe in bounds and of course, we don't. Seriously hard to even fathom this.

And that's after the three prior utterly inexplicable play calls. Utterly. Inexplicable.

Remember that end zone pass last week where the RB couldn't drag his feet ... and then remember how someone said it was okay because it was a RB, completely ignoring that other coaches use TALL RECEIVERS for fade routes.

Pepperidge farms remembers

 

[Manfredi]

Why did we call a TO after their first down??

 

[Hawkeye1984]

I think we will be 7-6 when it’s all said and done. We will lose the bowl game.

 

[longliveCS40]

Welp. Either Oregon or SC will be out after next week. I’m guessing Oregon trucks them.

Gonna be a high scoring affair.

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

Very sad. Can't beat anyone worth a sh*t. Truth.

 

[BubsFinn]

False. We showed up and played tough. USC is good.

Shut out in the second half isn't tough.

 

[WeBeHerkin]

Gonna need someone with a cannon for a Hail Mary.

 

[HawkBall23]

Kirk and Iowa, after getting leads in the first half, vs ranked teams in the last 13 games -

 

[MAKhawks]

Maybe next year we can beat a ranked team..

What a joke

Maybe gramps will call it a career?

 

[iahawkeyes17]

I completely agree. This one is all on the coaches. Just pathetic from this coaching staff in the second half.

Back to back Carries to our backup. Take sweet *** time before 4th play ends under 2 min. Just awful

 

[kwik44]

This announcer also has his pants at his ankles for USC.

 

[Franisdaman]

Find 2 new stud wrs for next year by any means possible

its gonna cost us

not sure if we have enough millionaires

 

[83Hawk]

If Iowa has 3 O-linemen out next week, they’re screwed.

 

[EdgarAllenPodolak]

Imploding like our government right now. Second half offensive shut down.

 

[SA_Hawk]

Losing Dunker, Stephen’s and Piper all in the second half.

 

[hawkeyewx]

I will be shocked if Iowa beats MSU. This team is poorly coached.

Nebraska? Bet the farm on the Huskers.

Iowa has competed til the last minute with three playoff teams. MSU is terrible. Nobody, you included, will be shocked if Iowa beats MSU in Iowa City.

 

[longliveCS40]

What the **** was that?

 

[Doctor Hawktagonapus]

Didn't want to take any chance. **** off.

 

[2D]

Just an unreal half. I still can't believe what I witnessed.

 

[Iowameat]

How fitting

 

[BunchofAholes]

Defense didn’t stop **** this game.

Good god some of you guy are so gaslit.

USC averages 39.6 points/game. We held them to 26 and 6 of those were given up on a short field by the INT. Less than every other B1G team they've played except Nebraska.

Our offense didn't score a SINGLE POINT in the 2nd half.

NOT A SINGLE POINT.

 

[WeBeHerkin]

What assistant got it?
