Chinander's defense against Iowa

[Undone]

Defense did everything it could have been asked to do.

 

This f****** team and its atrocious special teams play. Holy s***.

And the last two opponents were offensive machines this year.  C’mon 

 

Iowa averages 23 points per game with that offense. Chinander's defense held them to 20.

Could not stop them when it mattered most.  
 

But we’ve seen this rerun over and over.

I wish they would have stopped you on your drive to post this.

 

What's your problem? He could have been asking a perfectly legitimate question.

[Jason Sitoke]

Did give up 225 yards rushing to a team that averages 96. 

 

But yeah. Compared to the worst version of themselves, the D held their own at times.

Iowa's offense is 102nd

Iowa's defense 5th 

 

I agree that the offense sucked today (Martinez was bad all year), but Iowa's RB still had another career day. 

Running backs.....

Remember last game when everyone was super cool with Frost's offense, but now people blame him for the Iowa loss?

Remember when people understood that teams are different and what worked against a soft Maryland wont work against Iowa..??

He stuffed the box because all Iowa was doing was running it between the tackles all game.  Not a lot of coaching prowess required to make that adjustment.

At least Chin made the adjustment.... SF kept calling that sideline screen/swing for net loss.

We have to stop teams on their last drives.  Playing great for a couple of quarters doesn't mean anything if you collapse at the end.  We scored a few times in the 4th against Purdue to take the lead, but then the defense collapsed twice.  A 3rd string Indiana QB had a game winning drive.  Iowa marched up the field even with calls that went against them with 30 seconds left.

Yeah they put up points against soft non con teams to pad the average. The announcers said Iowa scored 11 TDS in the last 7 games. That’s like 1.4 TDS game. Also averaged 96 rushing yards. 

 

While I was happy with the D yesterday. Let’s keep it in context. Our last 2 opponents offensively were 2 of the worst in the country.

"They knew what defense we were in and they exploited it. It's tough; it's football. Should've knew it was coming." Jojo Domann explains the problems perfectly at the press conference. It's 3rd and Chinander. He is in over his head. Mix it up a bit. I wrote in the game thread to "blitz now". At least try and hurry the QB. Instead they give the QB all day. No pressure. No rush. Nothing. Same damn thing over and over. NU could do so much better, but I guess that could be said about a lot of other coaching positions too.

[SFW]

JoJo said on the final drive Iowa knew what we were going to run and exploited it.  He said we should of known better.

 

Seems every opposing coach knows what Chinander is going to run on the Final drive.

What's funny though is before Wisconsin I was posting stats about how the defense has improved and people said 'well wait until Wisconsin and Iowa score 40 on us the numbers won't look so good' well they didn't do that and the numbers actually look better as a result of these 3 games. That is what is annoying to me. Chinander does better than everyone thinks he can and is actually not the issue and people still blame him

We need an OC stat.
