OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!! Iowa comes through with the sensational, shocking win by the count of 24-21! Nobody gave Iowa a chance, like usual. But for the steady, reasonable, consistent leadership of Ricky Stanzi, we'd all be lost--as would be the season.
Celebrate with your pants off, people. We've never been this happy about a football win ever. As history dictates, we dance and we get naked.

Open thread is here. Play nice.
(Arkansas State was the team favored by three touchdowns, right?)

I’ve been telling my gf that I’m more worried about Arkansas State than I am Michigan. We got the win, that’s all that matters.
Let us dance!

Linebackers were also really bad in coverage this week
The d-line did play well though
The offensive line, on the other hand, struggled a lot with run blocking. Wegher and Robinson were getting hit in the backfield way too often.

I wouldn't say really bad.
They weren’t great, but I don’t think you can pin ASU’s prolonged drives on the LBs as much as, say, Willie Lowe.

But the linebackers were a step slow covering the middle of the field all day. That didn’t happen in the first four games.

It should be pointed out in this discussion
that the defense only gave up 14 points today, despite all the slants and such.
Consistency on offense is just killing this team right now, and it needs to improve rapidly, because there are teams remaining on our schedule that could score more than 14 and hold our offense to less than that.
If we had established a consistent and reliable ground game, and if Stanzi had stopped throwing to the defense side on slants, this would have been a much different game.
by fossilhawk on Oct 3, 2009 3:07 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
of note on the stanzi INT for th TD
It was deep enough into ASU territory that it counted as at least a 10 point swing. We also left three on the board with a Murray miss (which should have been a TD drive anyway). McNutt missed pass interference call stopped a drive. And we had a drive stall on the three when Stanzi tried to run it in. double digit points worth of opportunities missed today. Can’t do that against big ten teams.

relating to the Iowa game. Donahue needs to win special teams player of the week this week. He didn’t do much in this game I realize BUT…during warm ups at half time he managed to land a 60 yard punt SQUARELY on the head of one of the elderly Per Mar security guards lining the endzone who was not paying any sort of attention. He was a little shaken up but he never feel down and remained on the sideline for the rest of the game. Which is great to see.

OK
It’s just not good to use numbers to make an argument your eyes never would. Kinda how the BCS is fucked up based simply on statistics, as opposed to the eye test. Numbers don’t use logic.

Wash WR almost had the 4th and 19 conversion, but got JACKED UP
and dropped it.

Couldn’t stand to hear the announcers talk about the magic of ND or whatever.

It's okay
We’ll get to laugh when they lose to Wazzu. This “play a close game against relatively mediocre team” nonsense is going to haunt them.

I was just wondering what their schedule looked like.
USC is a loss but can anyone else get them under 10 wins so we don’t have to deal with them in a BCS bowl?

Pitt maybe?
Another Navy miracle?
Actually… Stanford appears to have a pretty salty team this year, too. I’m not sure where that game is, though – if it’s in Palo Alto, I could definitely see them winning that one.

I still think you'll beat UM
Solely because MSU’s defense mostly contained them most of the game, and Iowa has a better defense.
Also, you can pass on that terrible secondary.

for the half that Stanzi had his head on straight
we almost lost to fucking Arkansas State because Stanzi’s shit kept us from exploiting their big weakness (passing D).

This game (Iowa) was not what I had in mind
and the team did not look at all defensively like can and should. Now, Michigan is a much easier team to defend than this team from a scheme standpoint, because they cannot pass as well as Ark St. The games that worries me after seing this week’s performance is Wisky and to a lesser degree Mich St. I have OSU down as an L. I’m hoping Bulaga and the line improve this week at practice beause thy did not do very well run blocking. Also, I hope Moeaki coming back opens a few things up. FInally, Prater…is huge. Lowe can do nickle but he cannot cover one-on-one.

If your biggest concern is a smart quarterback who can hit quick, accurate passes
I’m not sure Pryor is a big concern.

Yes but...
their defense could very well out score our offense. With the way we seem to spot teams TDs…..
by Argulor on Oct 3, 2009 6:58 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Sure
But Stanzi against that defense? Ouch. If he doesn’t improve over the next few weeks, we spot them 7-14 for sure.
And as well as we have played in Happy Valley over the years, Columbus is the exact opposite. Just a horrorshow.

Tangent: Blackout Game Shamockery
In a stunning development that only an Iranian Parliamentary official, Florida resident, or possibly an International Olympic Committee member could appreciate: Next week’s game is a blackout despite the will of Iowa fans, and generally the American people.

A win at the shoe is...frankly
maybe asking too much of this team. But, one loss might do it if OSU loses to PSU and one of the other teams pulls a home shocker against the buckeyes…or, they drop football in the next five weeks?

I'd like to thank the WWL
for giving the gameball to
Ricky Stanzi. The Iowa QB threw for three TDs and a season-high 296 yards to lead the Hawkeyes.
Could you mention the pick 6 that put the game in jeopardy, too?
I’m just bitter, the good throws were great. The bad ones are going to kill us against a better opponent

Poor Marvin McNutt
121 yards, two TDs, recovering an onside kick…what more does that dude have to do to be player of the game?

If he could come up with an easily....
harvestible means for creating clean-energy hydrogen fusion without undue infrastructure commitments or decades of light-year scientific advancements I’d consider it.
Alright. I’ll give it to him for his receiving yards. Plus he’s #7. Always liked #7’s,
If it's not too much trouble, search your soul--and then ask yourself if maybe I might have a point.

Interesting
I went back to check out the recaps of the late game and lo
Marvin McNutt. Iowa’s sophomore WR hooked up with quarterback Ricky Stanzi for two scores and finished with four catches for 121 yards.
So they took the ball from Stanzi and gave it to McNutt. While they made the right choice (eventually), I wonder what made them change

We've been hearing that for at least 3 weeks now
and it hasn’t come back to bite the Hawks yet. Bad Ricky showed up against ISU, and Iowa won by 32. Bad Ricky showed up against AZ, and that game was never in doubt.
Iowa played like shit today, and still won the game. The 2002 team was like that up until the midpoint of the season, then they started blowing people away. 2004 was the same way – with the exception of the Minnesota game. While this team seems to be more like the 2003 team, they’re showing the same tenacity that we all saw in 2004.
Having Bulaga and Moeaki both in practice this week can only be a good thing, and when Michigan brings their all-white uniforms to Kinnick next week, they’ll figure that out.

Shit, if MSU and their swiss-cheese defense
can do that to Michigan’s running game, imagine what an Iowa defense that actually gives a shit might do to it. Of course, that means that Forcier was ripping apart the MSU secondary, but he’ll be in the hospital by halftime.
Right?

Clayborn will rip Forcier in half and return the half still holding the ball 50 yards for a TD

Clayborn and Ballard will not be pleased after they read the boards this week.
Perhaps my best years are gone. When there was a chance of happiness. But I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn't want them back.
