Do we not know how to QB sneak??

Only if it’s mahomes.

Correct. But why would the staff want a 3rd and 10 over a 4th and 1?

Why would we take the penalty if we had a first down??

Our game plan was definitely to stack the box knowing Iowa doesn’t throw it well. After first half we probably go back to a more traditional scheme.

We’ll be alright. Even if you practice it, when you’re a team who likes to go like IU, when you get into a game against Iowa it’s tough to switch to grind it out, ugly football. Not for nothing, IMO they missed a pass interference call against us on that end zone throw. We may be #11, but we still don’t get the Bama/Georgia treatment.

Some folks on here’s first time watching an Iowa football game? This is how it looks. We will have to win ugly. Like most do against them.

Do you get invited to a lot of parties?

I’ll give Mendoza the benefit of the doubt. We ran the ball 57 times. It’s a small sample size 31 passes and one of the incompletions should have been a 54 yard TD. His touch playing at game speed will come.

We kind of resembled the average Iowa team today. No passing game, good running game, good defense (minus the two QB runs)

That hurts the averages on D.

I mean. That’s a flag. But still another goal to go not converted. Need to be better.

Can someone email Fox and tell them breaking news is not breaking three hours after the end of a game? Enough. OSU won. We’ve seen the highlights three times already. Not news. Not breaking.

I’m no sports psychologist, but some of this game may be Cig wanting to give Illinois and Iowa plenty of game tape showing how we’re a running football team. He knows what Sarratt and Cooper can do. Maybe not show your hand before the games that will decide the season by showing a different style team this year than last. Long game strategy.

Black is our goal line RB. Period. He’s low to the ground and falls forward.
