Boy that was a long day and a long game. I thought going in that for us to win, we would have to be no less than -1 in turnovers and we blow that number out of the water. No team can win giving up 4 turnovers with one being a scope and score.
I have felt the last couple of years that Purdy needs to run the ball more on the RPO's, they were crashing down on Hall the entire game, until the staff realized that with Purdy keeping the ball, that keeps the defense honest and allows Hall room to run, we are in trouble.
Iowa did a great job of doubling Kollar and is felt like Purdy was either late or behind on almost every throw. None of our WR's have the ability to get separation and we do not have that throw it up and go get it like we had in the past.
The defense played a great game, but we kept putting them in a position where they could not be aggressive when were are playing on our side of the field the entire game.
Last point, I spent a long time watching their punter, he did a great job of holding the ball before he kicked it, allowing his players to get down the field before he punted the ball, not sure why after the first couple of his kicks doing it, that we did not try to speed him up by rushing him harder instead of playing for a return. Also catch the damn ball on punts, we had them backed up in their endzone once or close too it, should have started at the 50, our returner let the ball bounce instead of coming up and catching it and we start the drive at the 25 yard line.
