I thought you guarenteed that we wouldn't score 30 points tonight :wink:.


Haha... I also wasn't expecting the special teams to play that well. Our offense was bad again, but the special teams gave us great field position. Great great job by them.


Oh yeah... forgot to mention that Leonard Johnson is one amazing freshman wow!

As Chizik said in his postgame, we only played 3 lineman on defense so we could try and stop their QB. Of course it didn't work at all. We will go back to a 4 man front next week. So I am not as worried as some people are about stopping the run.

We had 4 down lineman all night. I never saw us drop back into coverage.

Were you talking about a previous game?

How was our offense bad? Turned it over just once. Won time of possession. 15/21 passing.

If you said our running game was bad, I'd agree with you. No doubt we could have a better offensive performance - but from what I listened to - it wasn't bad.

why didnt he switch back to 4 after he saw 3 wasnt working i wonder? kurtis taylor gonna get 3 sacks next week. i question the o-line of iowa. that may be the 1 weakness i have seen so far. they have played good but not great

I find that so odd? I'm not sure if I've ever seen us line up less than 4.

Yeah I was referring to my post earlier about rush offense

I wouldn't say our offense looked bad the whole game or I should say sounded bad. It seems like we were clicking reguardless of QB in the first half. We did sound pretty darn bad the 2nd half though.

i wouldnt say our offense was "bad" but wasnt great either. a-rob was out, so the ground game was awful. i was disappointed with some scoring oppurtunities where we had to punt.

I found it interesting Chizik put a lot of blame on the running backs after the game for not gaining yards. Hopefully having JJ dusted off and AROB back will help against IA

i know they have beat crap teams but watching them today i think they are the better team. i HATE saying that but i think they are coached better and more disciplined. we CANNOT make stupid personal fouls and other mistakes. the QB (not Christiansen) for iowa looks amazing

and iowa has an amazing D

yes but iowa has a better coaching staff and alot of talent on defense... we have too many question marks.

nope. i wasnt. just said they are good thats it

Dunno - this looks like borderline infatuation to me.

And you might want to watch it on the "personal attacks" around here - the mods don't like it much...

Run blocking is pathetic. I don't think Robinson would have made a difference.

Interior D-Line was getting gashed too.
