Cyhawk postgame thread

A few quick thoughts on the game:

1.) Marcus Neal Jr.. My goodness. That dude is playing at an elite level.
2.) Hansen is running so hard! Most physical downhill running Ive ever seen from Sama as well.
3.) Huge tip of the cap to the offensive line. Zero sacks, right? Did Rocco take any big hits all day?
4.) Let's please use Brahmer more in the red zone. Please! Guy is 6'7" 260 and moves like a receiver. Fade routes to him until it is stopped.
5.) Burkle so clutch. Have so much trust when the ball goes his direction.
6.) Great to see Sowell getting more involved. If this team is going to reach its top gear he needs to turn into an alpha out there at receiver. Physical freak.
7.) Konrardy is a legend. Dude better not ever buy a beer in Ames again.
8.) Rocco playing as well as any QB in the country. If he continues to take care of the ball sky is the limit. We are so lucky to have him.
 
We are in a golden era right now. If you don’t enjoy it, you’ll regret it. This is pretty much everything we’ve always dreamed of. Nationally relevant. Winning close games. An elite coach who could not be a more perfect fit who wants to be here. Players who are so damn easy to love.
Dont want to get ahead of myself, going to enjoy the crap out of this season, and who knows what can happen in the offeason, but...

-Rocco will be back as a senior
-Both RBs will be back as seniors
-Both TEs will be back as seniors
-Every single receiver getting targets back
-Konrardy back
-Bulk of that defense back (albeit a few crucial losses to graduation).

So 7-5? Just kidding. Too soon?
 
Totally understand where you're coming from. However I'm a diehard Cyclone Fan who is a UNI Alum. My wife is a diehard Cyclone Fan & she's an Iowa Alum. There are some of us out there believe it or not.
That is simply Bonkers but obviously you’re both educated and making smart life decisions!
 
Honestly don’t recall any throws being off, yes the one Overby “drop” that was way behind but based on his reaction I assume he ran the wrong route
This looks like Overby and Rocco were not on the same page, but the ball floated slightly and the wind pushed it right a bit too.
 
Just rewatching this morning and one thing I forgot to mention- the hillsides have never looked so full. If I had not known better, I would have thought we bowled in the north end
I walked over there. They were as full as I’ve ever seen them for any game ever. You could barely stand and find a spot to see at the top. I don’t know many JCCs they sold this year, they probably “over sell” that area, but every single one had to have shown up for that game. It was nuts.
 
The epic ball washing Chad Leistico and Scott Dochtorman has done for Iowa and Mark Gronowski is going to provide us with endless entertainment this year.

Between this and Chad’s “this really puts a dent in Iowa’s playoff hopes” - hook it into my veins all season.
