******Iowa vs USC Game Thread******

[MAKhawks]

I wanted a hail Mary Ferentz

Unfortunately you got a low income housing Brian Ferentz.

 

[Hawkedup]

Couldn't ask for a better 1st half

I could ask for better officiating. The holding by USC o line is egregious because they simply aren’t calling it. Then they call one on Iowa. It is borderline absurd right now.

 

[AnonymousNolonger]

Good grief call the timeout at 18 seconds at midfield. Why do they always screw that up?

Yeah, when you’re down to 18 seconds chances are you will not be able to use them both if you don’t use it there.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Thank God for Tim Lester.

This Iowa team finally looks like they belong on the same field with the top teams in the country. Win or lose, that’s all you can ask for.

Iowa football is enjoyable to watch again.

 

[WeBeHerkin]

And it was a BS call. If that was holding you can call it every damn play

He did grab him as Grono was running by. Legit hold.

 

[Manfredi]

We've got a two score lead. It's practically a miracle that we didn't kneel it out.

I liked what we did on that last drive. We were trying to get to FG range until the hold.

 

[AnonymousNolonger]

First possession of second half is a big one. Hawks MUST NOT give up a score.

Agree, it is huge. Hopefully Phil has an adjustment to what USC was starting to do.

 

[Doctor Hawktagonapus]

Not when USC have gotten away with 4-5 that were far worse.

 

[Easthawk1062]

Need to eat them up on the ground.

 

[Ironman39]

21-10 Hawks. Good half. Kick some *** in the 2nd half

Adjust and don't let them hold our a**es so we can get a stop here to start the 3rd, and then lean on them with the run. Keep their offense off the field and finish drives with points. Ball game.

 

[DukeSlater]

I will admit I haven't watched many games on BTN this season, but who are these announcers? This has to be the C-Team at best.

Yah, I've neveer seen these guys before, but it sounds like they're both USC fans.

 

[Ironman39]

Didn't want USC to substitute. I agree though.....

My neighbor has been chasing around leafs with their leaf blower for 6 hours now. I thought they were done like 3 times but they must be getting them as they fall.

keep us updated!

Must be the same refs from the Oregon game. Maybe they just don't like throwing flags in the rain.

The Xmas lights must be up and they are bored.

He’s doing it wrong. Mow over them.

Yeah, it's a bit ridiculous. Now his wife is out there with him with another blower. This is just getting comical.

 

[BubsFinn]

Clearly rooting for USC.

 

[Franisdaman]

We're playing like a top 15 team right now.

 

[WeBeHerkin]

Sure but Dunker did hold.

 

[eyesofhawk]

Try harder, defense........ @eyesofhawk is counting on you to be the sole reason we win.

Stop the run

 

[Ironman39]

Stop the run

21-10

Don't think BF had any of these plays in his book!

Lester is an upgrade over the previous 3 coordinators. But ...



The scoring defense/offense MUST be closer than 10 to 1. Look at the 3 losses.
Rivals held to:
16
18
20
Asking the offense to score more than 20 points is a very reasonable ask.

I bagged mine on the mower and tossed them in the woods. I'm pushing the poison ivy a bit more away from my perimeter by choking them out.

Did someone get a new toy?

 

[Manfredi]

Sure but Dunker did hold.

 

[83Hawk]

Stop the run

I would want to stop both the run and pass, but you do you.

Should have saved them then scattered them in the neighbors yard after they go to bed. Call it celebrating a big Hawk win.

Ya but has lester once run a wildcat with a TE?

 

[r_desihawk]

We're playing like a top 15 team right now.

not top 12?

 

[longliveCS40]

Teams need to stop making field goals against us.

It's effing rude.

 

[oldhawk56]

Vander Zee is such a great athlete.

Remember his basketball highlights? He has some hops!

He is sooo underutilized

 

[AnonymousNolonger]

Is it too much to ask the football gods for a Defensive stop and then an Iowa TD coming out of halftime?

Would be nice to keep some separation to the end of the game. And not need a Defensive stop at the end to win it.
