GAMELIVEOPENBLOGTHREADAMAZING: PITTSTACHE

Iowa Hawkeyes @ Pittsburgh Panthers


Wannstache_medium
Is that toothpaste? Where did he get toothpaste?

All right, people. It's Iowa at Pitt. It's time to see what happens when the Hawkeyes face "actual competition" for the first time this year. It's Three Yards And A Cloud Of Albert Young vs. The Wannstache.

If you underestimate the importance of this game, don't; that's a grave error. There are only two possible outcomes:

  1. Iowa records their biggest non-conference road win since Penn State in 1983;
  2. We must sit here and explain away the fact that Iowa just lost to the Wannstache.

And that's it. Buck a quarter-century-long trend of reprehensible road play, or force us to drink suicidally and post a Wannstachalanche. No pressure, Hawks.

As for the thread, we'll be here as long as you are. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

It makes me sad that since this game isn’t on the Big Ten Network, I won’t get to see JoePa telling me to “COME TO PENN STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE!!!!!!! (SO I CAN EAT YOUR BRAINS)” I’ll really miss that.

Right before the drive started, she mentioned how Iowa hasn’t given up a TD yet. Of course, that pretty much guarantees that Pitt will get one here.

Look, I get that the fans booing him sucked, but you don’t need to go completely the other way and pretend that he’s anything other than a terrible quarterback. He’s clearly not getting it done, why not give Stanzi a chance? He’s got a lower floor, but his ceiling is way higher and maybe he makes a few plays. It’s worth a shot at this point.

Jake will get one moe series of downs. No score, hit the bench.

I agree Robobubba, let Stanzi earn his stripes on the field. Jake is total lost cause. It does not help when 3 Hawk WRs run to the same area on passing routes.

Even if Stanzi throws us into defeat with an INT or something, you have to let him run this team — and Greene — from here on out.

The Pitt offense seems to have imploded, but who knows what happens after the break. Iowa has only scored 3 points in the third quarter after the break.

Hopefully

A quick stop by the D to start off (Pitt gets the ball). Would really hope set/maintain the momentum they built at the end of the 2nd quarter. Our first offensive drive HAS to go for a score (a FG would be fine), to keep the pressure on Pitt.

It's really hard to say

Their offense basically turtled up in the second half. I’m still not sold on the pass defense, so if they open things back up, I could see them marching down the field on us again.

Gotta love the improvements for our offense though. Getting Greene back was huge and the offense just looks much smoother with Stanzi out there. He’s not carrying them or anything, but he’s better at giving himself time with his feet and can actually make some of those short, routine passes.

Spievey sure can hit.

What a great pickup he and Greene were. Easily the two best additions to the team.

Three and out again!

Iowa blitzed all three times on that drive if I’m not mistaken. Interesting.

That one is all KOK

You could see Greene and JC looking at the sideline trying to get KOK to send in the play. He of course looked confused.

Ray saying you should go for it any time you are in the opponents territory earlier in the game?

A pitch on 4th and short is pretty silly too

Greene has changed the tenor of the game.

He’s just demoralizing the Pitt defense.

Apparently Jake is a better hand-off to Shonn

no question they were planning to Greene that drive and only let Jake pass to the left. If W-Stache had a brain he could see that.
