Thinking about it, that penalty likely lost us the game. Needed some kind of points to end the half with. Instead OSU gets 7 for a potential 10 point swing.
Going to at least have to force one turnover in the second half and not turn it over ourselves. Going to need some breaks for sure. Absolutely can’t let them get points on this first drive.

You make it sound like "elevating" is a matter of pressing a button.
No it’s about coaching and expectations.

Ben was hired to elevate. Elite 8 first year. He’s not gonna accept mediocrity. He will hold himself accountable. He’s not at Iowa to go 20-14 and miss the tourney. If he doesn’t succeed he’ll be the 1st to admit it. Elevate.
Jan is recruiting like a blue blood. Now comes the results. Keep grinding like a blue blood and see what happens.
Iowa football. Man it’s a dinosaur. With a coach whose definition of success is the opposite of elevate.

Never did see the replay of that second procedure penalty for not having two tackles on the line. Guaranteed it was ********.

Replayed it at home. Near line judge threw it on our far tackle. Not any further off the line than multiple other plays or on OSUs tackles.

Guess he has great eyesight to see an extra inch off the line from 30 yards away

And it's not like Smith has absolutely killed us all 1st half long. They're gouging us in the run and finding other receivers because Sayin has time against our 4 man rush that is content to dance with Ohio State's fat f***ing linemen.

Even Sayin has plenty of time to escape the pocket and scramble for yards because our fat defensive linemen are fat and our linebackers are busy trying not to get burned by their receivers.................

Trash scared effort that's still gonna lead to a 3+ score loss anyways, unless Phil can find it in himself to trust that his defense won't piss their pants executing a blitz.

I am pretty tired of Iowa fans talking about basketball when it is football season. Now I quit watching basketball in like 1999 or so with Alford, but this guy will have one loss real soon and all the Iowa fans will want him fired , guaranteed. Iowa bball fans are fickle.
