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

[Tenacious E_rivals41982]

Have not kept in the thread and I’m sure everyone is saying the same thing, but Jesus they are getting away with holding on offense. Throw in a couple of missed face mask calls and that’s the difference.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

We'll never break the streak. I hate this ****. We always beat worthless nobodies but can't compete with anyone else.

They compete. They just don’t have enough talent or speed on defense.

The officials are officiating this game like they have been instructed to keep USC in the playoff hunt.

That was clearly a PI on Hall, but how do you miss the complete mug on Aaron Graves that was in plain view of the ref? Should have been offsetting penalties.

This is the worst officiating job I have seen all season.

 

[Hawkedup]

What an absolutely atrocious quarter from Iowa. Almost as atrocious as this officiating. The Holding usc is getting away with is absolutely ridiculous

 

[Rambler Hawk]

He's not a great thrower.

Yeah, unfortunately he is (sadly) a huge upgrade from past QBs…

 

[Franisdaman]

I am HOLDING out with hope that we pull this fooking game out.

 

[Anon1751457816]

We look fat and slow

 

[Buffalo43]

Can't beat a team like this without a pass rush, we're in big trouble. Has little Eppy gotten any snaps? Give me someone who can rush the passer in obvious passing situatios!

They also played back ups in the d line most of the 3rd quarter WHY?

 

[ajdl]

No pressure. No attempt to get pressure.

At least our coach tears up every game.

They hold anytime we get close to pressure. And we can’t guard these guys 1 on 1 so you can’t blitz . We are ******

I don't think anyone has brought it up yet

 

[DuddyB]

Defense is shitting the bed but I’m just an infuriating that we aren’t just running the ball down their throat.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Damn, MG's arm is..........

Yuck.

A noodle….

 

[r_desihawk]

how does such blatantly biased officiating happen with no repercussions? sad the dean of coaches has to take it and smile

 

[WeBeHerkin]

Where are 48 and 49.

 

[Moral]

I don't think anyone has brought it up yet

I haven't noticed any of that myself.

 

[83Hawk]

Can't believe this choke job. This is an all timer.

Yup. Once again, not ready for Prime Time.

I’m sorry, but Phil Parker is losing it. Defense unprepared in the second half. Can’t hold a lead….AGAIN. Can’t make a stop.

 

[DuddyB]

These announcers

 

[Denmar]

Got nothing to lose by blitzing. Phil is so stubborn with his game plan.

 

[hawkeyewx]

My god, these receivers catch everything.

 

[kwik44]

How the frick does Sharar give that up? He was on it the whole way.

 

[HawkinAnk74]

How is this a choke job? USC is making some outrageous plays in tight coverage.

 

[MAKhawks]

Not sure he secured that in bounds

 

[longliveCS40]

Going to need a Wetjen return for TD and probably a turnover to win this.

 

[Anon1750875978]

There it is...complete meltdown!!!!!

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

Flood gates officially open. (*sigh*)

 

[Iowameat]

 

[Franisdaman]

they are catching everything

must be nice

 

[kwik44]

Players 65, 82, 44, 78, now wearing #95.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Receivers are like David Bell

Great compare…Lemon specifically…

 

[HawkinAnk74]

And frankly, iowa is getting outplayed by a better team.

 

[longliveCS40]

How is this a choke job? USC is making some outrageous plays in tight coverage.

Defense line is choking bigly. No pressure at all.

 

[HawkBall23]

Laugh at me or whatever you want, but I'm tired of this same script every game vs ranked opponents for the last 13 tries now.

 

[2D]

Don't think I've ever seen anything like this for Iowa. A meltdown of epic proportions.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Has the Iowa D stopped a single play this entire half?

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Just head for the plane. What a sh*t show.

 

[Hawkedup]

Oh well. We tried, once again. ******* annoying

 

[WeBeHerkin]

Like listening to the USC game feed

 

[kwik44]

Crying Kirk thought the game was over at 21-10.

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Piss congrats to Iowa St. and Nebraska fans on the win.

 

[AFM22]

19 unanswered.

Absolute unraveling

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

At some point, Kirk is going to have to realize that being up 14 points is not a license to go into a shell. This is not the Big Ten West. You can’t score enough points against high octane offenses like USC.

That is a microcosm of why Iowa is about to be 0-13.
