Ohio St got punched in the mouth early and they rolled over and just took it. That game was very weird and a complete outlier.
I think Brian getting “Hawkeyed” is the reason for the zoom media calls. Brian and his offense sure got “bleached” on Saturday.
Eickholt said yesterday on KXNO that Kirk is playing the Iowa fans booing as motivation for Saturday, and that has people like Trent Condon thinking Kirk will pull a "Kirk Special" outta his ass and destroy ISU.
Do they have to wear trash cans on their heads while they listen to the booing?
He played well, but I wouldn't get carried away. The kid was playing at the NAIA level 10 months ago. I agree he's better than Petras, but he'd probably be lucky to start for any Big 12 team, including KU.
Petras, also, would be lucky to start for KU.
They may very well beat us and handle us like last year but it’s not because Kirk pulls anything out of his ass. They will do what they always do and we’ll have to beat them. That’s how Kirk is and always will be.
I keep hearing this all over. They got absolutely waxxed by a Michigan team that was completely outclassed by Georgia last year. The gap is HUGE.
Eickholt was arguing with fans on twitter during the game who were complaining about the offense and specifically the coaching staff's refusal to make a change at QB. He cited the offensive performance in the bowl win over USC 3 years age and then quickly deleted that lol.
Pretty funny to watch a supposed 247 beat writer defend the shield to the death

Yes, their defense is really good, especially if you play to their strengths. I think CMC has learned his lesson here and trusts Dekkers to make the smart throws. I don't expect to see us try to establish the run too early.
Not with KIrk at the helm...
To Iowa's credit, they somehow figured out the one zone Ohio State wasn't covering very well...underneath routes were open/working.
Bizarre anomaly
They lost by 39 points in the Big 10 Championship last year.
Other teams are going to "Iowa" them to death.....never letting their defense off the field. They're bound to get gassed week in and week out.
The key here is giving Hunter time to throw the ball because if he does that our receivers are going to be open. SDSU had receivers open a lot but their QB struggled with pressure and panicked a lot by just putting his eyes down and trying to make a play which resulted in sacks.
I think Iowa media members would be title contenders in butt-sucking.
A lot of their defensive success is predicated on field position giving to them by their wonderful special teams. Their defense is no doubt good but when you constantly have the offense starting at the 10 yard line, the pressure becomes almost insurmountable for the offense, especially in Kinnick.
