Cyhawk postgame thread

Don’t think Dave knows that this guys nickname in college was Fruity.
 
Fair enough.

I was at the game so I couldn’t really get a feel. I just saw Sama had his hands on it.

I just watched the replay and the pitch was certainly high (towards his helmet, and seemingly too close for as fast as it was. High and fast.

After seeing the replay, I actually think Sama went too straight. That pitch is designed to get the ball to Sama on the outside as quickly as possible. My take is that Sama didn’t go laterally enough and it was a high rocket at close range. On my first look, it actually looked like Sama was getting a handoff, due to his path.

Just my interpretation of the replay.

The design of those plays are having the RB downhill at the snap. They ran it a lot last year.

It's basically an off tackle tackle run but the pitch must be used to get the ball to the back quicker.
 
It's time for someone to post a new version of Hitler meltdown video to summarize this game. I'd do it myself, but I'm not smart enough to know how.

"We were really close on that deep one... I guess that guy ended up making a good play kind of saving it by causing the PI. That could have ended up being a 75 yard touchdown and I mean that would have changed the game." Gronowski said.

Saw this in an article from Iowa Hawkeyes on SI. I can't figure out what he is talking about. They had a deep pass? And we committed Pass Interference to stop the catch? That isn't anything I remember. But if so, then yeah, that was a good play by our guy. Better to get 15 yards than give up a 75 yard TD.

Kid must have already spent some time listening to Dolph.

In Haydenism, every play would have been a TD if the opponent's LB or DL or anyone else wouldn't have made the tackle at the LOS.

The pass wasn’t that close. 34 got turned around and pretty much just blew up the receiver.

At TOE, any pass over 10 yards is a ‘deep one’. Goodwin did I get called for PI, but the kid is making a huge assumption that his hok receiver would catch anything.

It's more important for so many Hawk fans that ISU be bad than it is for Iowa to be good. Don't ever remember hearing that from another fan base, but you get it after we beat them all the time.
It's weird. They are making their loss look even worse.

"Yeah you beat us, but you're still bad"

Ok?... That makes you even worse.
 
Iowa is always looking for the short cut. Instead of recruiting a high school QB and developing the heck out of him, they've decided they'll just buy one in the portal. They haven't figured out that approach is not sustainable financially.
You’re conflating the situation.

“Totally incapable of recruiting (let alone developing) a decent HS QB” is not the same thing as planning to NIL a college QB.

It’s a desperation move.

Good HS QB’s take a good look, then decide to run away.
 
oh you think last years decisions matter? They will move the goal posts anywhere they like ... could be SOS, could be a 3 loss team .... games don't really matter for some.
Agree, they don't use criteria, they use excuses and justifications to work whatever they want to happen.

The fact that they think that is the only possible reason for our increased success is laughable but not surprising. The coaches we have are all about culture building and development. Something that has been lost at Iowa recently.
I think Iowa's problem is that Kirk eventually got stuck on "this is what we do, it worked in the past, there's no reason to change it". Campbell has shown that he is willing to constantly analyze what they're doing and adjust what isn't working.
