Expecting a loss unfortunately - west coast trip + Heck's 1st start - but I'll be over the moon happy if the Hawks return to Iowa City with the dubya under their belts.
This is the time / opportunity when a QB moves forward in his playing career as a player or as a backup. Your time to shine, Hecklinski. Get’er done!

Hadn't seen you like, in a Eon or some crazy s--* like that. Watchaupto? :cool:
Umm, I've been in every game thread so far this season and have commented in some other threads here & there.

Nothing too much aside from working and watching the Hawks on the weekends, though. You?

The last two trips to the west coast, the Hawks have had a fast start, but they always fail to keep up the momentum. Kirk is going to have to keep the foot on the gas tonight. Washington almost came back and beat Minnesota by scoring a bunch of late TDs.

Sullivan's 13 handoffs vs. UNI looked Heisman-worthy to me. Of course, had KF not been more concerned with UNI's fragile ego than he was with developing depth, he'd have let Sully throw at least 5 or 6 passes. But not KF. He didn't want to risk beating UNI 62-0. He was willing to settle for 55-0 as long he kept the handcuffs on his own QB. Oh, that KF . . .
Oh my god

Ryan Walter’s was defensive coordinator at Illiniois three years back and had their defense ranked in top 15. Helped earn a chance at head coaching where he struggled. He hasn’t been with huskies long but something to watch for in this with a backup qb in.

heck is going to need to be ready for pressure or trying to confuse where blitz is. USC ran okay and attacked the flats. Just need to take care of the ball and give star players a chance. without any success running this could be tough matchup

I was just teasing @HawkBall23. Getting jazzed up for a Hawk win. I like Steely Dan, but I'll go with Sam Myers from the movie "China Moon" ,hoping for the victory. "Tell me what I want to hear." (With Anson Funderburke).
I know and I was "teasing" you too, ofc ;) .

Steely Dan came to mind as there is a lyric that mentions "smooth Colombian."

I would like play some Queen, "We Are the Champions" after the game 🙃.

A "backup QB"? But KF insisted all summer and all fall that Brown and Hecklinski were "even," despite Hecklinski outplaying Brown by a million miles in the kids day open practice. And then when the season started, it was still a dead heat, according to KF. And then Brown has started every damn game. Sound "even" to you?

Hecklinski is the more athletic, more talented QB who not only can sling it but who can run it. Brown is a wobbly ball game manager. Hell, his passes were so wobbly vs. OSU that they even had a review to see if the ball had been tipped at the LOS. But nope. It was just another wounded duck. Brown had receivers WIDE OPEN all day vs. OSU, but he missed most of them, and by yards, not by inches. And then he committed two of the deadliest sins in KF's book: Brown lost a fumble that set up an easy OSU touchdown in the first few minutes, and then Brown tossed an INT. TWO turnovers that helped kill Iowa's chances. And yet, were it not for the shoulder boo-boo, Brown would be starting again tonight. Hell, for all I know, he will anyway, despite the fact that Hecklinski looked fantastic vs. OSU, is 100 percent healthy, and KF said the QBs were "even."

I'll call it a big win for Iowa if Hecklinski starts. The offense will look far better than it has all season under Brown, not counting the high school games vs. NIU and UNI.
KF has a hell of a time giving up at the QB he initially names starter. I will never understand his thinking. When Brown is healthy, he likely will be starter again despite if Heck is tearing it up.

You are about as unbearable and insufferable as a Hawkeye fan that I've ever seen. It would be better if you didn't speak your opinion. But, that's just my opinion



You better be here to eat crow if you're dead wrong. Which I think you are.

This is not a college football night and Washington is not a Big Ten opponent. As long as we have to put up with this BS, Iowa better win.
