I don't know, but he and Larry JOhnson and everyone else involved needs to donate their damn paychecks to the Children's Hospital there....this is embarrassingly bad....

Couldn't agree with this more. This offense is just not a good offense for Iowa. They have driven down the field basically every drive. Very very poor game plan and poor play.

Why can't we just look at what ped did and copy? It's not rocket science. Do what has been successful

Iowa hasn’t scored this many points in an entire game since playing Illinois.

Is this a joke or fact? Or both?

One Iowa punt .. some said we should not be #6 by God they were right . Good night before I get sent to my room.

3 head coach type guys need to come up with something.

 

[ScriptOhio]

DO NOT SLEEP ON THESE GUYS

@ Iowa is the literal definition of trap game

Especially coming off the biggest win of the year and with Sparty the following week

They better "wake up" in the second half.

Yeah we were down 18. Difference is that, save for a few dumb ST plays and a TO, we were dominating. This week? Not so much.

Exactly. Haven’t seen them on either side of the ball show that they can take things over. Hoping that the coaches make their money during half time adjustments.

Cold, hard truth time: IF this team wins out, which seems unlikely given the extremely sloppy play week in and week out, they will get freaking demolished in the playoff.

They shouldn't even be in the playoff if they can't pull it together in the 2nd half and smash Iowa to bits, and then continue doing that. If they manage to win out looking like this, the committee will rightfully leave them out after last year's performance.

Make the 2nd half adjustments.

Hanging my hat on this team has been a better second half team than any other in the Urban era. Although this feels more like OK than PSU at this point.

Seven was due to the pick six, so that's 24 points. Giving Iowa a very short field on another drive doesn't help either.

Okay, so they got 17 without such help, including a drive of over 90 yards.

That exceeds their point total for the entire game vs Sparty and Northwestern. It matches their game total against Minny.

 

[sparcboxbuck]

Team was just punched in the face a la Mike Tyson. This is where we see what they’ve got deep down inside.

 

[Drubuck]

Don't want to be in that locker room right now.

Nah I don't think we'd get demolished. For whatever reason Urban Meyer coached teams have extremely high highs and low lows. Like, we could beat Clemson by 50 in the semis only to lose to Alabama by 50 in the NC.

Oh well. I watched my favorite team nut up and come back against the team I hate more than anything in this world. Some dipshit fan from Tennessee thinking he gets to talk shit on us for making it to the playoffs just doesn’t phase me. The Penn States of the world can throw their rocks from far away while they play in lesser bowls. Doesn’t bother me one bit.

 

[Telekinesis]

D needs to come out on fire to start the second half. Need some turnovers and the offense to go off.

 

[Thump]

As confident as I was last week at half, this week I am of the opposite mindset.

Have a sick feeling it will come down to a Neurenberger field goal attempt.
