*****Mich St vs Iowa Game Thread*****

[Sett1997]

hitting the cross bar does not count!

So bad, we are so accustomed to this stupid.

 

[iahawkeyes17]

Drive until red zone showed what was open throwing on early downs all game. Then sums up frustration with 2 predictable calls in RZ against stacked box that went no where.

 

[3-D_chess]

Omg ur right.

The board has a rule against encouraging those on the spectrum

 

[BubsFinn]

Game ending clock killing Sparty TD incoming

Yep. Here comes a 78 yard, 22 play drive that eats up 10 1/2 minutes.

 

[AFM22]

Who was the qb before Petras?

Stanley

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

Refs let MSU try to rip the ball out for 10 extra seconds after forward progress was lost. Still a great performance by them

MSU DL also jumped early on 2nd down.

 

[MAKhawks]

The defense is top ten in every category this year. They've held every opponent they’ve faced under their season averages this year. I acknowledge that you and others who can't get that through your thick skulls as the dumbest fans I've ever seen.

The defense is put in a position to be perfect every game and when they’re not people think they’re the problem. Anyone that thinks Iowa’s defense is any sort of Iowa’s problem, makes you want to question their intelligence when it comes to sports.

 

[Bierhalter]

Phillips needed to score there

Yep. I have to believe we have skill position players who can make that cut.

 

[HawkBall23]

KF just said, "We hit the upright that's worth 2 points, correct?"

KF's mindset, all game every game -

 

[Buffalo43]

We will lose by one score again

 

[Cobra Kaiowa]

Gronowski after going through all his reads: "BANK'S ALWAYS OPEN"

Funds not available

I think the issue is the D when needing a stop v Oregon and USC failed when it really counted

 

[HawkBall23]

Doink off the cross bar......While passing....

Hey, if the MSU QB is gonna punt then Gronowski is gonna doink the crossbar through the air!

 

[kwik44]

Over under on how many times they pass to a wide open TE underneath? 5 times? 7 times?

Exposing the weak LB unit.

 

[BubsFinn]

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.....

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Why is our soft *** defense getting so fooled by their play action and releasing TEs and RBs?.......

 

[QChawks]

I’ve almost filled up my Iowa football futility bingo card

I’m only missing giving up a first down on 3rd and 20

 

[HawkFan10]

I think the issue is the D when needing a stop v Oregon and USC failed when it really counted

And ISU and indiana

 

[Franisdaman]

Mark got $1.3M for this.

Can we get a refund?

It would be the @Moral thing to do!!!!!

 

[Mattski]

In 99% of the other programs in the country you could at least take solace that a game like this, near the end of a season of let downs, would get the AD in motion to make a change. I get giving a guy like Kirk a lot of grace to go out on his terms... but I also think that's what the program has been doing the last several years. It's simply time to act Beth.

 

[BubsFinn]

Wow, they're running the ball at will. No reason to throw.

 

[hawkdave007]

Huge stop!

 

[QChawks]

Mark got $1.3M for this.

What is that like a quarter of mil per passing touchdown?

Yep, the D and special teams are expected to win every game. I'll lose some respect for the HOF if they induct someone who never understood that football is made up of 3 components

and pay him the $27,000,000 buyout?

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Nothing there. Might as well throw it to the goal post. Only thing open..

Might as well try to run it in then…

 

[EdgarAllenPodolak]

Defensive line has been our biggest drop off this year. If MSU runs that, they likely pick up the first down. Thanks, Sparty coaches.

 

[DBHawkSoCal]

If we end up winning, any chance still for playoffs if we beat Nebraska??

 

[Franisdaman]

all i know is that universities are gonna run out of money with all of this crazy spending on buyouts, players, etc

Same vibes as people that order a steak at Applebees and with 1 bite left tell the waiter to send it back because it was over cooked.

 

[JaysonTAlexander]

Im not giving one more dime of my hard earned money until something is changed. Either he goes or me.

 

[DuddyB]

if we sell out all of our games next year, it’s time we look in the mirror

 

[Sett1997]

Poor commentators, they are trying as hard as they can to put lipstick on the pig.

 

[Mattski]

They've had chances to put games away and haven't done it. They also got absolutely gashed on the ground in a number of key games. And our pass rush has been abysmal. They aren't as bad as our offense but we're a 4 loss, likely to end up 5-6 loss TEAM for a reason.

 

[hawkandroll]

Are y'all at least done wanting the staff to be retained under a new HC

 

[QChawks]

if we sell out all of our games next year, it’s time we look in the mirror

But next year, we’ll be different

The offense always looks great in the spring

 

[Moral]

He has 20 total touchdowns on the season of you combine rushing, passing, and receiving.

 

[DuddyB]

No but Leistikow keeps telling us this is the best 8-4, scratch that 7-5, or 6-6 Iowa team ever
