Iowa vs. NDSU
- Thread starter NWICY
- Start date
They're just going to further qualify it by saying he's undefeated against FBS opposition during the regular season.
Yeah that's the running back I'm pretty sure. On the last drive it was the QB stiff arming King. I'll go and find the pic

This is King getting stiff armed. He got dragged about 10 yards after this which set up the game winning FG
That's the one, Thorpe Award winner costing his team the game against an FCS program
Can you get a facemask penalty via stiff arm? That looks pretty rough.This is King getting stiff armed. He got dragged about 10 yards after this which set up the game winning FG
Q: Why is the player who is carrying the football allowed to put his hands on the facemask, in the facemask, and even grab the facemask of an opposing player?

BOUCHETTE: Technically, they are not. There can be incidental contact to the facemask, a.k.a. a stiff arm, but no one is permitted to grab an opponent's facemask. That's a 15-yard penalty either way. However, refs go easier on running backs, as you no doubt have seen through the years, giving them more leeway in this area. But I did once see Tim Worley called for a facemask penalty on a legit stiff-arm on a long TD run during a preseason game in Barcelona, Spain, against the 49ers. It was a thrilling play on a day in which the NFL was trying to sell its game to the Spanish fans. But the refs would have none of that.
I was being generous when I said 10 yards because I'm trying not to pile it on Hawk fans this week. It's no fun that both our football programs suck right now
I mean I agree I don't want to pile on but I have to hold the Thorpe award winner to a higher standard than the hok fans....I mean, he looked, 1)small, 2) slow, 3) weak compared to an FCS QB. I can see his draft stock dropping already and the hok talking heads I heard were saying that Iowa really does need to move their DB's around because people are starting to think that PP is trying to hide King now. When last week it was "he takes away an entire side of the field".
Like others on here I was trying to lure LakesBison to the thread. Hoks getting their a$$ handed to them didn't make me unhappy and none of those worshipers at the shrine in Johnson County rated it "funny". Glad you're finally catching up on the board.

I have a feeling your all-conference RB would disagree after getting splattered by him.
The one game a year you guys bring the boom is an outlier
