Iowa (+14) at Penn State on Saturday night on CBS
- Thread starter Cidsports
- Start date
Iowa is down it's top two running backs, on top of losing their TE and QB is still gimpy. Weather calls for rain, but not a ton of wind - wind is the important factor. Even if weather is bad, I think this favors PSU more than Iowa. Line is actually 14.5 to 15 across the board, which seems to tell me that books don't mind taking Iowa money. Not sure if I'll bet PSU, but no way I'm betting Iowa.
I dont know what to tell you man. You said penn state was winning by a touchdown when Clifford got hurt...thats just empirically untrue.

You made a statement. You were proven wrong. Now you are moving the goalposts.
Did I mention you're a moron?
Iowa....New Jersey without the beaches and good paying jobs.
Typical Iowa corn shucker moron.

Neither wind nor rain will save Kirk Ferentz from his well deserved meeting with Karma. A veteran coach should have been smart enough to take a win (21) knowing the outcome was more about Clifford 's injury than his team's prowess. Make no mistake injuries are part of football. A man of his experience should have enjoyed the win with grace.
Is it possible they are faking the injuries? I hear that's a thing your better players do in big games.
It was 17-10 when the new QB had his first snap. Hardly a “boat race” score BTW.
Why, more than any other fan base, do Iowa fans invade Penn State forums (not just here) when it's a mutual game week? I enjoy seeing cordial discussions between opposing fans because it adds interest to the usual talk around here, but Hawkeye fans online seem to bring a different character of conversation with them.
That game is a blowout if Clifford doesn’t get hurt. Roberson couldn’t even throw a ball, or even get the ball snapped for that matter. He just self destructed in front of us all. I’m still annoyed Villeaux (spelling?) wasn’t given a shot
Im wondering if the staff didn't see something with Villeaux.
Jurkovec has looked horrid, absolutely horrid, for Pitt, but he is still getting the start against UNC today. How Villeaux didn’t get a chance in that WVU game with Jurkovec looking so bad....
agree on both points, and we also lost PJ Mustipher, the mainstay of the DL. CV also showed he was a just fine backup in the Rutgers game. Hard to imagine he wouldn't have done better than Roberson in that situation. I know the conventional wisdom was that he needed a few more weeks to be able to come into a game. we will never know.
He wasn't playing ahead of Robbie that game. Let's just say it was a discipline issue.
I don't think it would have been a blowout but we definitely would have won. Iowa only won by 3 and Roberson couldn't even get a signal called.
It's taken 2 years for Roberson to win the starting job at UConn. I don't understand why the staff didn't know more about him before inserting him into the Iowa game. They had fall practice and this was game #6 in 2021.
FWIW I think PSU would have beat ILL with either Roberson or Veilleux. Clifford was in no position to play that game. IMO Roberson could have had 2 weeks to practice and just run with the ball against a much weaker ILL team.
Well, you got me on poor word choice. Empirically, technically, basically, and essentially.
It was 17-10 before Cliffs absence was going to have any effect on the outcome.
Btw, is it too early for me to start putting tonight's loss on no TE1, RB1, and RB2 with a half strength QB1?
Has anyone here suggested maybe they are faking?
Too late for that?

And how hard is it? It’s not a “technicality” it’s reality.
PJ never played again that year nor for spring. all assumed it was an ACL. how would that have been faked. why would anyone fake an injury anyway vs Iowa. That is not the style of Iowa - not Oregon or one of those fast pace teams.
