*****Ohio St vs Iowa Game Thread*****

[Manfredi]

What is that

Sounds dirty...lol

 

[Hawksfor3]

What is that

"Rumbledethumps is a traditional Scottish dish made primarily with mashed potatoes and vegetables. It typically includes ingredients like cabbage, onions, and sometimes rutabaga (swede). The dish is often topped with cheddar cheese and baked until golden brown, making it a comforting casserole that can be served as a side or main dish at any meal, including breakfast, lunch, or dinner."

 

[hawkandroll]

Not that they wouldn't have scored anyway but it looked like his knee was down before he reached across

 

[Rambler Hawk]

It sucks that the bogus 5 yard penalty will essentially cost us a chance to Win...

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

And I realize our offense is better but not to the point where when you win the toss you take the ball.

 

[Anon1750875978]

Lutmer has been so bad at the fill this year

The preseason hype was ridiculous.

Mental????

 

[ChicagoHawk2020]

8-4 for eternity. #KirkBall

 

[Amahawk]

Couldn't hold OSU for less than 2 minutes at end of the half! Miracle needed.

 

[Moral]

I’m beginning to believe in conspiracies when it comes to officiating.

Of course, Iowa going ultra conservative on defense didn’t do themselves any favors.

It's all staged like the WWF.

 

[Sett1997]

Brown has happy feet. Horrible play calling so far.

 

[MAKhawks]

Give it to Iowa. Play like a JV team and act like a JV team and only be down by 11 lol

@Moral victories

Well boys, may be time to accept that our offense has regressed, heavily. Losing a few studs on the OLine doesn't help, but our offense is looking 2023 levels of inept. Hank is about as inaccurate as he can be and OLine getting no push. Was really hoping that our offense would at least be somewhat similar to how we left off last year, but these past few weeks have been a real wake up call.

 

[Iowameat]

You know the powers that be will not let us win this. Can’t have Ohio St with 2 losses this early in the year.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

Gonna have Rumbledethumps at halftime. Yummy.

I looked it up and i am Scotsman and not heard of it , and I am Irish and welsh

 

[Demger]

Have to feel good about the first half, but man, we had some mojo going if we could have ran out the clock at the end of the half.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

why change defensive philosophy on the final drive?

Especially with 2 mins. Way too much time to go into prevent. Stupid to not play that like any other possession

 

[WDSMHawk]

They've got an alien. The half is pretty even without him

 

[DuddyB]

That goddam procedure penalty plus the penalty right before the sack/fumble literally cost Iowa this game.

Two procedure penalties cost us 14 points

 

[NIhawk79]

Illegal formation?

How does that happen

 

[TweeterHawk]

I know I'll get laughed at, but that might end being ballgame.

Yep. Have other things to do on a Saturday afternoon. See ya next week.

 

[Hawkit]

Is anyone else seeing the massive uncalled holds on OSU? How are these not being called?

They're not a top offense by any means but comparing them to 2023 is silly. The offense made plays to win two games in the 4th quarter already this year.

 

[Anon1750875978]

Maybe next winter, spend some NIL on DLinemen?????

 

[AFM22]

8-4 for eternity. #KirkBall

Good lord guys, we’re hanging with the #5 team in the country.

Spare me the 8-4 crap with this soft schedule.

Some of you are evidently watching a different game

 

[Grayhair1981]

The formation penalty killed them

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

I actually think this Iowa team is set up for a really bad year.

Probably.

Does that make you feel better?

Thanks for the explanation. I just assumed it was a pet name for the Mrs.

 

[Whtnhawk]

Looks like the Buckeyes figured things out on that last drive.

 

[Mitch122_rivals]

That, and hands to the face. Neither has been called on them once.

 

[DuddyB]

I give a grade of C- for the first half. Too many little detail plays, and penalties that we don’t typically make. This team is not unbeatable.

 

[AFM22]

Probably.

He will find something else to criticize.

 

[Jonesy5960]

Zero TD'S in the first half. That's 2 first half TD's combined in 3 games vs P4 opponents. They also gave one away in this one. That ain't gonna cut it.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

If it continues thusly: Iowa loses 34 to 12

 

[HawkAlum2002]

Everyone on here that's been obsessed with getting a 300 yard passer again is likely to get their wish today. Going to be throwing almost the whole second half if we don't get a stop after halftime.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

why change defensive philosophy on the final drive?

Phil's defenses tend to do this way too much over the past several years against good teams.

 

[Hawksfor3]

You're welcome. I won't reveal that lol.

 

[Moral]

9-3 teams don't go down to teams like OSU.

I can assure you that it will not happen today.

Punting is winning
