*** Official Iowa Game Thread ***

So random thought. What happened to the stunts we saw last week and the formation we used against Ohio State we wanted to save for later?

No idea.  Why not pull out all the stops....This is probably the most pathetic play calling I have witnessed.  Maybe this is just Frost...Maybe this is the best he can do with play calling.  A refusal to admit his shell game O won't work in the B1G...AND NO THIS IS NOT REMOTELY CLOSE TO THE O OSU RUNS....

Just started watching.  Looks like our offense is totally inept.  If the defense is it's usual squishy soft I'll find something else to watch.

Such a huge game for you as a coach and program and instead of throwing the sink at Iowa on offense, you bank on moving the ball with umpteen screens that have more than proven their salt all year. :facepalm:

Iowa could just take a knee the entire rest of the half and win the game, we have zero offense once we get to midfield.

At Oregon and UCF Frost had athletes who could take those little bubble screens and make people miss.  Here not so much.  He needs to adjust his playcalling to suit the talent and counter the defenses.  That's why the options seems to usually work.

Saving them for the bowl game.

We are going to trie them out soon.

Thst was really bad play calling on that series. 
 

left Martinez out to dry

It is so frustrating. We knew exactly what Iowa wants to do for five weeks now and we can’t do anything to stop it. that is COACHING.

Cost of continuing with Martinez >>>> Cost of ruining his confidence (whatever's left of it)

Your offense needs a spark, Frost!!!!

Holy s#!t Alex Davis got someone

They have been replaced with unblocked bubble screens and negative yardage swing passes.

But they saw something during film study that made them think screens would work.

Wow, a tackle for a loss.
