It is still a Hawkeye State

[Gonzo]

Pretty much everything that could’ve happened to us outside of injury of the QB, did happen to us. Unlucky bounces, horrible officiating, and the weather delays killing energy. Yet somehow we only lost by 1 point. It was so clear that we are the better football team but we just couldn’t overcome the refs and the Super Bowl mentality of the hoks. Oh well, it really doesn’t mean much. We will still be playing for a Big 12 title while Iowa will be playing for a bowl game in Detroit (which is too good for their fans)

'Atta boy.

Are you asking for a wellness check on someone who you've blocked?

I miss when you were a good poster.

Well that doesn't mean I don't want them to be ok, silly.

 

[mattyheiden]

OMG..... you really are clueless aren't you.

Just curious, did you play football past JR High?

TOP is an even worse example of that, though. Obviously we were gonna lose TOP when we had two TD's from 50+ out... That tends to shorten your possessions up.

....and turning the ball over

Rough weekend, I get it.

You're using material retreads have already tried, so you've got that going for you.

That 3rd and 22 throw was a thing of beauty, no doubt, but it wouldn't change my mind if I were an NFL scout about all his very inaccurate throws. Stanley would have had about 3 picks last night if he were playing against an NFL level defense.

Not to mention, he would have never gotten that 3rd and 22 throw off if not for the blatant hold.

I'll let people judge for themselves. I don't think there was enough there to call.

Here's a much more obvious missed holding call IMO (I know CyTwins and clonedude disagree):

I will say that the holding call in the 4th quarter against ISU was clearly a bad call.

You don't think there was enough to call? He's got his entire arm wrapped around him.

 

[cyfanatic13]

And holding or not on those clips, it looks like it was pretty established they were letting them play, which I'm more than ok with. But don't call a non existent hold on the biggest play of the game when you haven't been calling it all game. I'm more frustrated now than I was last night leaving the game

Top one....if he had him by the arm, it's a hold. I can't clearly see it though.

ISU's secondary has some work to do.

I think the original angle above shows the RT (Levi Paulsen, playing for Jackson) grabbing the jersey more clearly. Holding should have been called a couple more times in the game against both sides if that was called, though -- as you said, they had been letting them play in the trenches.

 

[BCClone]

Not really. Hawks dominated TOP. Can’t do that without dominating the trenches

Or it can be lack of big plays? ISU had them, Iowa did not.

 

[CyTwins]

Until the game was on the line unfortunately

 

[Cat Stevens]

Arm strength and physical size as much as anything, but, not necessarily exceptional results, yet.

He’s a ******* senior, and this is his 3rd year starting. He plays against a **** schedule. In a **** division.

When is he supposed to show results?

ISU had 2 but your point is valid. Still think it was an important stat in that his game. Hawks were 10-19 on 3rd down which helped as well

I’m pretty sure hou blue quit after 4th grade flag.

How about on the Stanley bootleg when Lima was tackled. That was an obvious one.

5 minutes each drive is the difference.

I'll grab a GIF if you tell me when it happened in the game.
