He always has a game or two like this in the regular season. Zero reason for that last sequence of plays. Almost like Kirk thought he was playing for OT. At least we get to enjoy the Outback Bowl again.
This is why Kirk will never make the CFP

We never had a chance with these two quarterbacks. Just total incompetence to not go get someone.
Won’t make it this year. Anybody with a 10-2 record will have a better win than Iowa.
Minnesota was giving up an average of 29+ points against P4 opponents. What a clueless offensive game plan and execution.
When you have to turn to Hank Brown to save the offense…..LOL
it’s ok we’ll get to play in a bowl against another well regarded team that screwed up its season
Tim Lester called a bad game IMO, but Iowa doesn’t have a quarterback. You can’t win anything of consequence without a quarterback. Is Hecklinski great? No. But he gives you a much better chance to move the chains and score points than Hank Brown does IMO. Regardless, I have no idea why Brown has such a long leash and Heck can’t even get a full half without getting yanked. That missed throw to DJV on 3rd down was absolutely egregious.
Every quarterback has bad throws and has bad moments, but Iowa quarterbacks are more consistently bad than they are good. And it’s pretty f#cking old tbh.
We’ll see how Iowa responds to this game and how the rest of the season goes, but I am just so bored with garbage quarterback play. It’s to the point I am ready for Kirk to retire. The offense may be better than it was when Brian was OC, but it’s still not good. Minnesota is not some defensive juggernaut. They just gave up over 40 points to Purdue. Iowa comes off a bye and outside of two pass plays on one drive looked downright dreadful.
It’s old. And it’s never going to change with Kirk. It’s as predictable as Iowa running on second down after a first down incompletion.
I’m ready for a change.
This was an ominous BF flashback today. If we didn’t run the ball 100% of the 2nd and 7-10 plays, it was darn close.
We’ve all been hoping that TL was in full control of the offense. But offense was Looking awfully familiar today.
We are going to lose several more games. It's not even going to be a good "MEANINGLESS " bowl game. Lol
Iowa's offense will never substantially improve while KF is here. It's essentially the exact same thing year in year out, just with a little variance in the level of mediocrity depending on who the OC is and the exact personnel we have on the field in any given year. Brian Ferentz took things to shocking lows, though.
I've become pretty apathetic. Iowa is decent enough under KF, but you know there is zero chance of them ever being a threat in the playoff. I'm not emotionally invested in it anymore. I feel a lot like I did later in the Fran McCaffery era on the hoops side.

It is an interesting point. Nepotism really came back to bite both Fran and Kirk. Kept some really special things from happening by favoring their sons like they did.
Except for the fact that Iowa would have been in the playoffs at least a couple times if having had the current playoff structure
You’re pretty much forced to run on 2nd and long a high percentage of the time.
Definitely something that makes throwing on 1st down not as important as people believe it to be.
And all 4 OC's have run distinctly different offenses. Stop with the laughable narratives
Well, unless he retires, unfortunately, 8-4 is gonna have us on the cusp of the new 24-team playoff model every year going forward.
So on the positive side, we can have absolute dogsh** performances like yesterday that completely expose that we're not a serious threat to compete at a high level.............and still have a solid shot at making the 24 team playoff!
Right now I'm smelling either South Carolina, Oklahoma or Missouri down in Florida somewhere........
Imagine actually being this stupid to think this.... Wow dude
That's what we're clinging to? Kirk would find a way to finish #25 if it was a 24 team playoff.
Making a 12 team playoff is simply too much for the talent level we have. It also requires beating the teams you're supposed to, which is something we don't always do thanks to the brand of football we play. A 24 team playoff is much more doable for what we work with.
Eyes of Retard being stupid? Must be a day that ends in Y! Glad I don't have to read whatever nonsense he posted.
With this roster and weak schedule do you even want to make the playoffs ... Like making the B10 championship game after outlasting the ****** Big 10 west and then getting drubbed 42-3 or 28-0. This program is a long way from playoff contention, doesn't have the players, coaches or $$$$.
