O'Keefe and Ferentz are probably huddled in the corner scheming with Stanzi and Vandenberg.

Kaczenski and Parker the Younger are likely significantly more animated, but nothing like Bill Lynch right about now.

Clearly, we can't rely on the passing game and Ricky.

Funny, since we thought that’s how we’d do it.

We need to go back to basics: run, set up the pass, play-action, and run.

Also, the defense can’t keep blowing aardvarks out there. Miracle they only have 6 so far.

Spin moves by the RB

The D behaves as if they’ve never seen them before.

You can probably blame that on the fact that we have two green linebackers playing today.

Even still, if we have it together inside the 10 on offense we’ll be fine.

Excellent ball movement between the twenties, tipped balls all over the defense that just haven't been gotten to, great running in the first half.

Nobody’s claiming that the game has been good or constructive, but we’re not playing like Minnesota out there. Indiana’s playing like crazy, getting some breaks, and still only has four points on us. If I were in a room with any of you, I’d bet on Iowa to win right now. If you’ve already given up on any chance of our winning, turn off the T.V. and go for a walk or something.

I haven't given up

but it extremely frustrating to watch our lack of execution today. And I don’t think we’re quite talented enough to just “turn it on” when we need to. We’ve never been that type of team. Last year, there was the legitimate excuse of the wind. This year, there is nothing of the sort.

This year, neither of those things are happening. Did the officials forget what a holding is? Is our Dline regressing? Are the opposing coaching staffs coaching up the line better?

Meyer is playing as a true freshman partly because of his leg strength. (He was the kickoff guy even when Murray was healthy and Mossbrucker still had the placekicking job.) He’s had some pretty nice kickoffs at times this season.

Coker doesn’t seem quite so effective in the redzone as Robinson might have been (less vision, etc). Of course, the fact that Iowa ran continuous dumpoffs to tight ends might have been the reason for the absolute shitshow that was Iowa inside the 20s.

What were Ricky's stats?

How many yards for Marcus?

Curious.

Wow.

I hadn’t guessed NEARLY as many for Ricky, and it’s scary that in a close game Marcus only got about 25 yards in the second half.

He was the opposite of sharp.

His arm was a blunt instrument, and we were lucky to have won.

Still, he came thru when it counted! Gotta give props for that.

Coker I think had around 130

At the end of the day

Iowa 4-1 (7-2)
Indiana 0-5 (4-5)

Game ovah!

In the end, it will be a GOOD end of the day.

Knowing just how BAD the end of the day might have been.

We dominated this game

almost 300 yds passing. over 150 rushing. D held them to 13.

shit like this happens and good teams find a way to overcome. I feel sorry for jNWU already.

by HawkeyeInColumbus on Nov 6, 2010 2:16 PM CDT reply actions  

we dominated nothing

and won because a wide open reciever dropped the game winning pass. We failed on many levels in this game and should be thankful we aren’t walking away with a loss

by Iowa Refugee on Nov 6, 2010 2:18 PM CDT up reply actions  

True about the end

but what i’m saying is that if we could have scored TDs on only a couple red zone trips this would have been a laugher.

by HawkeyeInColumbus on Nov 6, 2010 2:19 PM CDT up reply actions  

I agree 100% with HIC...

The Hass avocado story is actually pretty interesting.

For instance, this ONE GUY developed the modern avocado, this ONE GUY. Almost all eaten avocados are due to Mr Hass, I think.

Zooker playing for OT

Seeing how each team has scored 45, I don’t know about that.

Denard seems to have been pulled, but the announcers have no idea why

There are two ways of interpreting that.

One of them is that you have a sexual special teams fetish.

The defensive coaching staff have got to step it up. How many times on third down did they get a first down because of a receiver running little 3-4-5yd hitch routes? On top of that we almost never blitz and Indiana knew that and was taking advantage of it. The D-Line can’t be expected to make every play and to generate all the sacks. I respect Norm and everyone but teams are really starting to catch on that they can just play dink and dunk and they don’t have to make the big plays.

by Zachary Scott Clary on Nov 6, 2010 2:22 PM CDT reply actions  

Meh.

The defense played alright. They didn’t allow a huge amount of yardage. In the first half they tipped so many balls that we really should have came away with more INTs. The second half they looked a little winded but they got the ball back to Iowa when they needed and made just enough plays to win the game. End of story.

by Argulor on Nov 6, 2010 2:24 PM CDT up reply actions  

pls dont pin this on D...

IU has a Very good QB…3 or 4 receivers leading the conf in yards. the D did great..The offensive had their collective heads up ass…Penaltys…OMG.. the road game and time of game had definite roles in this game

Agreed

I still would like to see more tight coverage against these dink & dunk teams, but overall to allow them 13 points is a good showing.
