Much, much, much better front 4 play on that second Iowa series. The announcer made a good point, a lot of energy up front on both sides of the [NU] ball.
2ND HALF GAME THREAD!
- Thread starter DerHusker
- Start date
Had 9 wins with that abysmal roster. What happened last year......
Because we are playing so poorly, we could be down by a lot more. We still have a chance.
He's making changes. He's coaching players up and recruiting better than we have in the last 8 years. Change for change sake is stupid, Firing Banker because Iowa had exactly 3 plays in the game that were successful is stupid. You really want to be someone who looks stupid?
Good one.
Eh, we are down by 3 scores. I think we've played exactly as poorly as the scoreboard indicates.
A touchdown and two point conversion and those two missed extra points become REALLY interesting.
You do understand Iowa beat the best team in the Big Ten last week....right?
Pennsy - I really have to disagree with you on some points. I agree that we arent the best coached team in some areas but we are woefully short in quality athletes across the board. Our LBs are serviceable at best. Our DEs are very average on a good day. you should expect to see some great athletic plays occasionally but they are rare. there are so may places for this team to improve it is hard to know where to start.
That pass had NO chance of being completed, even if it hadn't been knocked down by the D-line.
And watch the play again, Tommy doesn't even THINK about looking off the receiver.

Not sure I remember another season that had so many passes batted down at the line of scrimmage.
Funny. Still, anyone who thinks we're 30 points better than Iowa is either a complete and utter moron, or massively delusional.
As bad as the offense is playing today, this game falls on the defense and their lack of tackling.
O line is not creating good passing lanes and TA doesn't move around well enough within the pocket to create his s own lane.
Meh, lack of execution on the offense has been just as much to blame. Tommy has tried for the home run way too often. We've had open receivers. He's never looked for them. This should be 26-24, or 31-26 right now.
Yes. They're not unbeatable.
They're also not 30 points worse than ANYONE in the Big Ten. They just proved that. A week ago.
I don't know what stupid "looks" like -- but I know what stupid sounds like.....
I don't think he's actually 6' and on top of that he has a low release point. Needs a good lane to throw.
I'm not kidding when I say MJ was a better quarterback. Less of a cannon, but better feel for the offense
agreed. But never looking off his receiver doesn't help. The Dline can see where he's throwing it every time.
If I'm comparing the success of this season to our teams in the 80's and 90's, yes, this would be a disappointing season. But this isn't the 80's or 90's and the program is completely different now. Considering our level of talent now and even the coaching, I just don't know how you are disappointed with this season.
The bigger question is, why are four Hawkeye players down there waiting for him half a second after he catches the ball?
