that screen had no chance

You’re right. That play didn’t stand a chance.

 

[Andrewrayhons]

What a kick

 

[QChawks]

Once again, could you imagine this Iowa defense with an average offense

 

[Hawksfor3]

that screen had no chance

My thoughts precisely. I mean...

 

[Phat Stax]

that screen had no chance

I'm not even sure it counts as a screen if the blockers show up after the catch

 

[Manfredi]

remember when we were worried about out Kickers...Buhr is a freakin stud

 

[longliveCS40]

Can we talk about being up 17 points and running a flea flicker? Old Kirk would never allow that. That's Kirk 2.0 activity.

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

24-17 now Miami on the comeback down 7.

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

Man…The offense…Painfully inconsistent

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Defense is due for a turnover

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Why, head to a bar.

 

[HawkBall23]

These tacklers flying in from behind need to work on their punching the ball out techniques.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

LIGHT THIS QB UP

 

[QChawks]

gotta throw a blitz in there every once in a while

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

It’s all up to you, defense

I expect zero more points from the offense now

This tracks.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

The play design was good on 1st down. Flea flicker that causes the defense to bail and leaves the flat WIDE OPEN........and of course we choke on the execution because....can't have nice things.


But the next two plays are the kind of sh** that really start to piss the fans off.

They either lack confidence in the run or they're just afraid to take shots down field with a multi score lead on the road.

And when you couple that with shaky teeth clenching bullsh** player execution, you get fans booing this offense.

 

[o_Terrykohawk]

If Meyers catches that he has 20 yards of open space. Missed chance here but we got 3 so that helps

 

[MAKhawks]

Turnover this series:

65% INT
35% Fumble

100% awesome!!!

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Can't get out of our own way.

Grrrrrrr

Damnit Meyer

BAU

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

Once again, could you imagine this Iowa defense with an average offense

I don't understand. Iowa’s O is doing just fine tonight.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

gotta throw a blitz in there every once in a while

If not for the turnover.... This is still a shutout.

I think Phil is doing pretty good

 

[MFinn]

If we blow a three-touchdown lead to Northwestern in the 4th quarter, I’m gonna be sick.

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

@Doctor Hawktagonapus Blow me.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

He could of run to Iowa City!!!

 

[SeenItAllBefore]

NW at OSU next week. That could be very interesting.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

4th!!!!!

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

OMG KF HOW DID YOU DROP THAT

I guess you thought it was too aggressive and told Meyer to drop it

Nah but he told them to throw and fail to execute two very short passes in lieu of running the football to open your later down options, let alone the idea of taking a shot to the end zone with your leading receiver after getting a big stop defensively...............

 

[QChawks]

I don't understand. Iowa’s O is doing just fine tonight.

14 pts

once again, that is just putting all the pressure on the defense to have to be perfect

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Can we talk about being up 17 points and running a flea flicker? Old Kirk would never allow that. That's Kirk 2.0 activity.

I am still in shock...

 

[BlIIlken2]

I don't understand. Iowa’s O is doing just fine tonight.

If it isn’t chip Kelley Oregon we suck

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

not a good second half for the offense so far

BAU

I'm sure the talking heads will say it's because Hank got off the scripted plays........

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

I don't understand. Iowa’s O is doing just fine tonight.

Good 1st half. Not-so-good 2nd half thus far.

14 offensive points is not “just fine”

 

[HawkBall23]

If we blow a three-touchdown lead to Northwestern in the 4th quarter, I’m gonna be sick.

Why would you even put that out there??!!

 

[MAKhawks]

The ticker in the upper left hand corner gives it a 1% chance of happening

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

The upper corner shows 99%. Better not effing jinx us.

 

[Manfredi]

@Doctor Hawktagonapus Blow me.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Can we just force ALL TEAMS to kickoff to BJ when it comes time for the offense??

uuugggghhhhhh

Fify for accuracy.

 

[JerseyCityHawk]

Can’t teach speed … wow ELECTRIFYING RUN… now play tough defense!

 

[Hawksfor3]

Fully erect. This keeps up and I'll have to call a doctor 4 hours from now.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

LIGHT THIS QB UP
