******Penn St vs Iowa Game Thread******

[2D]

Going for 2 never works. Not with the guys Iowa has.

 

[QChawks]

Should have ran the fullback run again

 

[OnlyTheObscure]

Fan of never going for two until you absolutely have to.

 

[Buffalo43]

Ok why go for 2?

 

[Manfredi]

Why??????

no ****...you go for 2 when you have to.

 

[HawkBall23]

So, is it that he just lacks smarts??

How does he reel off 42 yards and then walks into the endzone - looking very much not too injured - but slides short on a critical first down earlier??

 

[Mitch122_rivals]

Chasing points in the middle of the 3rd quarter. Once again, not smart.

 

[DuddyB]

No chance at throwing the ball lol

 

[DBHawkSoCal]

This is kinda like the Hebrew Hammer days

Iowa only team in country to start a FB as their RB1, and now we start a FB as QB1

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

That was effing defensive holding.... And too early to chase points Kirk...

Do we understand football strategy.... AT ALL?

 

[50kWidowmaker]

Chasing points midway through the 3rd quarter.

Dumb!

 

[7thSummitCoach]

So...chasing points mid way through the 3rd. KF pulling out all the headscratchers tonight.

 

[Hawk48]

Score a TD here, we win this game. Book it.

we did and guess we find out

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Go for two?

In the 3rd quarter, I think you kick the PAT.

 

[HawkBall23]

The next time KF makes the smart move, considering time and score, in trying for 2 will be the first time.

 

[maxpain]

I feel like I am watching a game on 90s dial up

 

[3-D_chess]

I really hope we win.
Talking smack after winning against 3 teams that are winless in the conference is badass.

 

[SeenItAllBefore]

Fan of never going for two until you absolutely have to.

This is not one of KF's better decision-making nights.

 

[BubsFinn]

Honestly, all 70,000 people in Kinnick knew it was going to be a QB keeper.

 

[RO Hawk44]

Extend the play. Don't just fire it through two guys. Protection was good.

 

[Burghawk87]

Why, just why? I swear this staff routinely does things absolutely counterintuitive just to prove some press conference point about things not working and justifying not doing them when they make sense.

 

[Iowameat]

Defense it’s now on you for a stop,or better yet a turnover.

 

[Manfredi]

This is a playoff team

I don't think Penn St is that good to be honest

 

[Ironman39]

Chasing points midway through the 3rd quarter.

Dumb!

Kirk doesn't trust Stevens anymore.

 

[DuddyB]

0% chance that we were passing that successfully for two points. I was really hoping it was going to be a draw.

 

[PeteJox]

Kirk wouldn't go for a 4th n 3 the leads to another missed field goal but hands of a point

 

[Opie Oids]

Why does Christian McCaffery wear one of those pantyhose things on his head?

 

[2D]

I get the feeling the 1 point left on the board will make a difference later. Always does.

 

[BubsFinn]

I hate chasing points in the 3rd quarter. 99% of the time you shouldn't go for 2 before the 4th. But Iowa's offense is so bad, we need to go after points when we can because we might not get another chance.

 

[3-D_chess]

This is not one of KF's better decision-making nights.

Joe Biden level of mental prowess

 

[Hawk_4shur]

I don't like that call. Now down 5

Of course, they still have to score again/. And stop them.

Or it won't matter

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Some of you guys are bipolar. Lol.

It was a good response by Iowa. I will say that.

Funny thing, as much talent as Penn State has, they are not a good football team.

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

Tackling has been hot garbage tonight

 

[Hawk48]

That was effing defensive holding.... And too early to chase points Kirk...

Do we understand football strategy.... AT ALL?

He does not

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Oh no a WR hurt

what will we possibly do

Normally I’d agree - but Howard might be good….

 

[HawkBall23]

Iowa D loves not finishing plays.

Thank God there was multi defenders there or he's in the endzone right now.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Is everyone on the sideline afraid to tell the old man that you don't go for 2 there? Trying to go down 3 halfway through the 3rd??

Does he understand that now if we score a TD.... PSU can win with a FG late?

Just coaching malpractice

 

[Ironman39]

Our interior on D is becoming nonexistent.......

 

[Demger]

Not sure if it's been mentioned earlier, but ex-Hawkeye Paul B. does a great play by play! Would love to see him paired with Danan Hughes calling Iowa games, but I'm not sure if Iowa could afford them.

 

[ClarindaA’s]

We’ve given them TD , we missed a fg, went for 2….. weird game
