*****N Illinois vs Iowa Game Thread*****

[Moral]

I don't understand what's happening right now.

 

[TRHawkeye28]

Diaz is damn good - can't believe we got this kid

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

Diaz is a ******* stud. Staff hit a grand slam this offseason.

 

[2D]

Nice catch by Tony

Even nicer dodge by the ref

 

[doughuddl2_rivals]

6 catches, 77 yards

TONY
TONY

 

[Hawkedup]

Ok we could have a problem with Hank locking onto 1 receiver and not seeing route 2 or 3

Possibly but tbf, he hasn’t really needed to go to route 2 or 3 at all.

 

[Hawksfor3]

I don't understand what's happening right now.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Remember when IowaLaw said Moulton was bad. Dude is clearly RB1.

Oh he's got at least a full page in his notebook of bullsh** to create faux rage about for this game.

Guarantee Hecklinski will be written off in his review as well.

 

[QChawks]

feed Diaz

 

[Franisdaman]

Evan James looking like our best punt returner

 

[Demger]

We have enough $$$ to keep Diaz here for next season??

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Oh my.... TE was WIDE open up the middle

 

[HawkBall23]

That pass had no chance of being completed. Way too off by Brown.

And wouldn't have mattered anyways, with the penalty.

 

[Doctor Hawktagonapus]

Frick

 

[Hawkedup]

best WR in a long time

Since smith marsette?

 

[AlexanderUrinis]

Too many easy passes being incomplete due to missed throws.

Now we're back to reminding me of the BF days.

This is a joke, yes?

 

[Demger]

Our guys can't see these in the sun!!! 3 misses because of it!

 

[3-D_chess]

So, we are all in agreement.

To protect Hank, we play Heck for the entire 2nd half?

 

[HawkBall23]

Missed throws and drops.

This should be a 45-0 game at the half.

 

[Hawkfan82]

That first down run just sold me completely on Brown.

Wouldn't have happened against a good team. The DB would be in the end zone with an int.

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

Ugh both Brown and Helinski making it hard on wide open guys. There is a reason they can't decide.

 

[QChawks]

We keep overthrowing guys

 

[Doctor Hawktagonapus]

Cannot drop that

 

[TRHawkeye28]

Damnit

 

[Hawksfor3]

Our guys can't see these in the sun!!! 3 misses because of it!

Damn sun.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

It looks like our run game takes a HUGE dip without RB1…

Crazy how running into a pile of bodies with nowhere to go va running through a hole makes a RB look.

I felt bad for Phillips because he paid for the job Moulton did on NIU's defense......

 

[doughuddl2_rivals]

Good D by the Sun on DJ

 

[QChawks]

Damn sun.

Stupid 3 o’clock kickoffs

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

DJ should have caught that

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

At this rate do we see Sullivan, Bessinger or Fitzgerald?

Late 4th, as long as the defense doesn't poop around in the 2nd half

 

[Lionhawk85]

DJV coulda maybe caught that, but that is a hard f’ing catch looking one way and then having to adjust to the other side over your head/shoulder. Lead him to the inside shoulder and easy TD.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

JFC, guys. Did anyone expect either quarterback to look perfect?

Brown is the better quarterback in my opinion. He 6’4, has the stronger arm, is more accurate, throws a good deep ball, has good poise and footwork in the pocket, and can be elusive enough to extend a play.

Is he Arch Manning? No. But he’s clearly the best quarterback option Iowa has. And he will keep getting better with experience.

The only mild concern I see is Brown is locking on to Diaz too much when other receivers are wide open.

 

[Hawkedup]

Boy.... Our RBs aren't rising up to Moultons level

He is the clear number 1. Our receivers not named Diaz need to start catching the damn ball. I have no clue which qb should be the starter. The good news is I think both can get the job done.

 

[Jonesy5960]

We keep overthrowing guys

Vonhamme had that go right through his hands

 

[2D]

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

Offense crapped the bed in quarter 2.

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

Good makes for the kicker. We need that.

 

[Blackleaf40]

I didn't cramp up playing sports until I was 34 yrs old. It's not as hard to avoid as people may think.......

Me either but I did puke on the field once.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

If this was the NFL, that might've been roughing the passer, as low as that guy went to hit Brown.

 

[QChawks]

Good half

defense really couldn’t look much better and her offense put up nearly 400 yards
