*** Official Iowa Game Thread ***

I'm not saying luke gives us a better chance but when Iowa goes up by 3 scores you might as well put him in.

Mobile QB has been their kryptonite.  Feed it to them....Luke with a 2 back set in the 2nd half.  Burn Johnson's shirt.

I’ll hope Nebraska knows that if they lose this I’m not watching another game this season!

oh wait lol

This program is in bad shape. Hurts to look at it objectively, but I don’t see progress. Callahan’s 2nd year was more promising than this. 

Everyone's second year was just about more promising than this

Yes, our defense sucks but our offense is not helping either. Two times we are so close and come out with one field goal and an interception. Basically, the offense has ZERO points. Our defense and waldoch are our scorers. Based on the pathetic half time adjustments of Frost and Co., we lose this game by three touchdowns. Frost has some explaining to do and we are getting sick of the dumb excuses.

Bench Martinez. Period. Dude is trash and jot ready to play. 

 

[Bryon]

Coaching only goes so far.  2 OL on that screen and both whiff?   They know the assignment and failed.  We run 9 guys to the sideline on that kickoff and leave 2 for the wide side?  Those are mental errors by the players.  They've been playing since they were in pee wee.   This is internal discipline and effort.  Stupid and lazy.

 

[Micheal]

Martinez is unfortunately holding back the offense today again. He doesn't have the hot hand, or feet for that matter today. 

 

[Decked]

Can't believe I'm saying this, but Callahan in his 2nd year went bowling, and folks were ready to crucify the guy.

Callahan didn’t inherit a 4-8 team fresh off the damages Mike Riley did to the team.

I'd sit some players and put in the best players whether they're redshirting or not! Time to see some changes here and see the head coach have the balls to sit his QB cause he's not getting it done. 

Nick Saban says hello.....

I'd love in the presser to ask WTH do you see game in and game out that makes you think that screen play ever works...

Seriously someone needs to ask this. It’s lunacy that he keeps going back to it. When Matt f#&%ing Millen is openly wondering why you are doing it, you know it’s bad. My god I just can’t wrap my head around it. How many promising drives has it killed today alone?

Martinez and his s#!tty decisions is one part of the problem, the other is the play calling, going away from what is working (the run) and with what isn't (the pass).  The later is all on the coach.

 

[PaulCrewe]

Exactly!  We may not have top 25 talent, but we do have enough talent to beat the Colorado’s Indiana’s, and Purdue’s of the world.  Good coaches put the players they have in a position to be successful through schemes and play calling.  Unfortunately we’re not seeing that.  Good coaches are able maximize the talent they have, and other coaches make excuses.  

I mean heaven forbid one would compare recruiting class rankings between these two programs the last five years

A Buckeye friend of mine just texted me this:

"He who walks between the rows again is favoring his yellow children over his red children. Frost better have a big year next year."

 

[BigPeterJ]

I don't see any.  Hell, the staff isn't even learning....

Sadly, i agree Frost isnt learning.  Like someone else said, our defense is outscoring our offense...yet we have all these fire Chin posters, but Frost always gets a pass....

 

[gorp512]

On the bright side, we probably should be down by at least 40 by now
