OMG Iowa's Totally Running the Wildcat

PrintKen O'Keefe, you sneaky bastard.
Finally, after years of deranged visionary Iowa fans deriding the offensive playcalls for being "too vanilla" and crying out for an offense that displayed outside-the-box thinking along the lines of "snapping the ball to the running back," their pleas have been answered. So what changed KOK's mind and got Iowa hopping on the wildcat bandwagon? We're not sure, but we think it had something to do with HFMR lending Ken his copy of NCAA Football 2010 over spring break. Once Ken found the Arkansas playbook, it was all over.
Added bonus: letting Hampton throw the ball may trick Angry Running Back Hating God into thinking that he's actually a quarterback, thus sparing him from yet another painful injury.

If Stanzi keeps scrambling away from future NFL DEs...
…ARBHG will find him. O-Line, please keep Ricky from running.

Angry Running Back Hating God
How far away are we from having ARBHG as a reoccurring character on BHGB? Maybe we could sacrifice PakiBomb to ARBHG?

I think PakiBomb is ARBHG

It makes sense that they would implement some form of the Wildcat
McNutt and DJK are both former QBs and it seems that the rest of the offense is athletic enough to be able to keep up.

We tried it once last year
with McNutt but as always with KOK, if the “batshit insane what the fuck are you doing” plays that other programs seem to think are now old balls dont work, we never do them again.
"Somebody change JoePa's colostomy bag!"
If I recall
that was more a double-reverse pass, I don’t think KOK ever had McNutt take any snaps from center.

The Wilcat would be the logical formation
for setting up a fake field goal in the 4th quarter of a bowl game we are already leading…
Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.
If you're referring to the Auburn-jNW bowl game ...
… they were down 3 in OT at the time, with an injured kicker (they sent in the backup to line up for the fake).
I typically don't reference jNW if I can help it.
No, I’m referring to the awesome fake FG called in the waning minutes of the Orange Bowl. Per mattbednar, the Stanzi idea could work; after all he outran Derrick Morgan with a bum ankle.

Murray was really moving
it just happened that Morgan Burnett, GTs FS who will be drafted this Friday sniffed the fake out.
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
Just how deeply can your senses be wrong? With some VR goggles, a camera and a touch on the back researchers were able to overcome a person's sense of being inside their own body.

It's too bad he would have been called down
because I’m pretty sure Murray could have knee-slid into the endzone from about 15 yards out.

Fact: Ken O’Keefe is probably slightly more conservative than Jay Paterno.
Fact: Jay Paterno once ran the wildcat to protect a concussed Daryll Clark.
Fact(?): The Angry Iowa Runningback Hating God has become the Angry Iowa Quarterback Hating God.

At first, I read that as:
Beers, Beets, Battlestar Galactica.
Which is better? I suppose it depends on what kind of Bears/Beers were being referred to.
Master of the convoluted IOWA cheers!

This is great news
KOK just satisfied 98% of the idiots on Hawkeyereport.

As a Dolphins fan...
I am crushed. This wacky offense, though it did help my fave NFL team triumph over a common enemy for all, just isn’t my idea of awesome football. Hawkeye football is. I want to see more 3 yards and a cloud of dust, more big hits and less hotshot WRs thinking that their magic spread will save them.
