Matt Campbell quit on this team.

[cygrads]

Doesn't really matter what people on this message board think I can tell you many in my section and also walking out saw CMC play a lot of subs while it appeared Iowa kept playing starters while it appeared there was still time to make it a game. Whether CMC packed it in the appearance to many ISU fans was that he did - right or wrong that is what it is.

 

[MisterO]

yeah Purdy didn’t look sharp at all. He didn’t make bonehead plays, but he didn’t really play well at all.

I really don’t know what to think about this game. I couldn’t see the whole field since I watched from home—were our receivers always that covered?

The TOE had pretty solid coverage for most of the game. Brock didn’t play horrible- he just didn’t play good enough to win. Brock needed to play better.

Also, too many dropped/tipped passes and 2 turned into turnovers. You can’t turn it over against these guys and expect to win. Simple as that.

 

[enisthemenace]

You suck, as usual.

Got me, Bob. Can’t compete with your intellect. Well done.

 

[DeereClone]

I was confused with the play calling while Dekkers was in there.

 

[CySmurf]

That was embarrassing and I’m not even talking about the first 3 quarters

Campbell quit on this team. I’m fine with pulling Brock to give Dekkers a chance, but he didn’t even give him a legit chance of trying to win the game.

Have in come in and run the ball?

I know Iowa’s defense is insane and our offense was garbage but the play calling down 17 looked like that of a coach that quit.

We have one the best defenses in the nation and you aren’t even trying to see if you can cut into the lead until 6 minutes left.

What am I missing here?

You need to take some time away for awhile to get some perspective before responding with such an emotionally irresponsible statement like that.

 

[WIB]

I have no idea what the fourth quarter was, but the coaching (play calling) gave us no chance to win. Had we not wasted two series we may have had a chance.

 

[CyOps]

Easy to coach the game after a painful loss. Trust the process.

 

[dmclone]

2020 is as good as ever gets. Any team that loses this much to the Hawkeyes just isn't very good. There is no excuse.

 

[PSYclone22]

Compare to basketball. If a starter isn't shooting well and turns the ball over four times, what do you do? I think coaches are too reluctant to play more than one quarterback. Putting in the backup gives him reps. He might give the team a lift. And it might give the starter a chance to see the game better.

Assume that the sample size is ******* small compared to the three seasons of information I have about my starter.

 

[Darius Bieber]

If this is how we look bringing back almost all of our starters, I don’t wanna know how we will look like next year when we lose pretty much everyone..

 

[JM4CY]

Dekkers was throwing on the sideline getting ready two series before they put him him in. Fwiw

 

[Neptune78]

Don't kid yourself pal, that is a good defense, above average special teams, and a offense that executes and mixes it up enough to succeed in the big ten.

Iowa's offense is garbage.

 

[Cyhops]

School leader in everything the weak link?

Purdy is the weak link. Hate me for it fine.

 

[cyclonez7]

It was a bit odd that we were playing with no sense of urgency with 12 minutes left in the 4th.

 

[demoncore1031]

Doesn’t matter how many times you beat us. You’ll always suck. Good luck against a team with an actual offense, because your defense is scoring half your points.

Iowa doesn't play teams with a good offense. They have such an easy schedule, it's a joke.

 

[cycloneworld]

You bring in your backups to spark your team- and they did. There was nothing wrong with giving Dekkers a shot.

The gave us a spark and we were still in the game late- and CMC was trying to shake it up a bit, what we were doing with the personnel we had in wasn’t working.

When you return 20 of 22 starters with most being seniors, you shouldn’t have to “spark your team”.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

When you return 20 of 22 starters with most being seniors, you shouldn’t have to “spark your team”.

This is a true statement. I’ve said it 1,000 times, but I envy how good Ferentz is at getting his teams ready to play. The dude is a wizard and would never let this **** happen if Iowa was in our shoes.

 

[awd4cy]

Idk. I can’t help but think that if Campbell actually ran a real offense week 1, our guys might have been better prepared for this game.

i will say one thing: iowa is going to be the most overrated they’ve ever been. What are they, +8 in turnovers in 2 games?

So many think they are great. I really think Iowa’s offense is total ****. Not getting 4 turnovers every game

 

[quasistellar]

School leader in everything the weak link?

listen, I hate being this guy, but our QB records were ******* hot garbage.

I love that Purdy is a baller but we have seen his ceiling. Now the question is whether Dekkers can go neyond that ceiling. I don’t have the answer, but just looking at the small sample I’ve seen, I see potential.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

It was too conservative, but Purdy was epically bad today. IDK what's going on but his timing was off, his decisions were off, his throws were overall terrible. I mean look at this stat line: 13-27, 176 yds, 3 Int. QBR 16.2 Petras was 33.7.
