**Official Albany vs. Iowa Football Thread - 5:10pm - FS1**

[HerkyHopeful]

Jizz looks pretty good every time he plays.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

 

[Monster]

I feel pretty good. Passing game obviously needs work but the defense was stellar in the second half and they really got the running game going. It would have been nice if they would have covered but oh well.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

That Iowa guard just got absolutely destroyed by the DL. Hope that fucker doesn't see a single snap in meaningful games

Narrator: He won't.

 

[douglasbader]

That was the most Iowa opening game of the season ever.

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

The Hawks did not win by 40, Douglas.

Who are you referring to?

Kirk sandbagged, the fix was in.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Fell asleep on the floor at one point.

We are the least exciting program in the universe. It’s time to move on.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Unbelievably, there's an incredibly good chance that we have another pants shitter at quarterback. How is that even possible?

 

[douglasbader]

The thing that continues to fucking suck and spans every OC at Iowa since Ken O'Queef left the first time is that they absolutely refuse to use the middle of the field. Not a single fucking slant, a crossing route, anything that attacks the middle and allows a WR to run. Nothing but out routes over and over and over.

 

[HCPhawk]

That was certainly an Iowa game.

It’s Kirk’s fault.

 

[fossilhawk]

Passing game still sucks, which may have something to do with the fact that we were running the standard dumbed down dipshit offense. Once we figured out we could Wisconsin them to death, that's what we did.

Other than that QB losing his mind for one drive, the results were fine. Clean up the dumb shit and we'll be fine next week.

 

[CamelTones]

Outside of Harrell struggling and Gronowskis rough start there was pretty much nothing you could take away from that game other than I don’t think it matter which running back plays.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

It was encouraging the defensive didn't give a second drive after that one in the first half.

 

[BBK]

I'm not sure it matters which QB plays either

 

[BBK]

I don't know how much longer Kirk is staying, but I wouldn't be surprised if the days of his willingness to throw a bunch of money at a transfer QB are over.

Just lighting money on fire at this point

 

[champion_thedrinker]

Hopefully Gronowski just had some first game, big crowd jitters. I like the play calling much more with a running threat at QB.

 

[PoopyFaceTomatoNose]

Gronk will be fine boys. Hawks roll next week 27-17.

 

[Thrawn II]

stop shopping with the search filter having salvage titles on

 

[Stu Beagle]

It’s always fluid, but right now Iowa again has the worst QB in the conference

we couldn’t throw against Albany with a million dollar qb

 

[CUIHAWK]

Once again the flow of the game is so clunky. So many long waits for commercials.

I was able to pick up dinner between a TD and the start of the next drive with only missing the PAT/kickoff.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Who are you referring to?

#61 Foster

 

[KitKatApples]

Kirk Ferentz is gay and we’re gay by association

 

[KitKatApples]

And that’s ok

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Gronowski looked kind of shitty when I watched. Hopefully it's a one game deal.

I told myself that with Cade as well.

 

[Monster]

A factor in Gronowski's struggles is likely Lester and Kirk wanting to establish the ground game and not show too much on film for ISU.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Running game was decent, passing game seems to have taken a step back somehow.

Dunker is a large human.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

And that’s ok

We’re all allies

 

[CamelTones]

Once again the flow of the game is so clunky. So many long waits for commercials.

Iowa punted once and completed 6 passes or whatever it was. Time of possession had to of been around 42 minutes of Iowa just handing it off and wasting 7 minutes of game clock before scoring. They had to squeeze in commercials at every opportunity.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Fat Titzgerald was in our section getting harassed

 

[Talkin' Goat]

All will be fine with an ass-kicking next week.

 

[BBK]

There's struggling and then there's 44 yards passing.

I agree it's too early to tell, but there was plenty of reason to be concerned.

One thing he can do is run though, which is super nice for a change

 

[Talkin' Goat]

By Iowa.

 

[BBK]

Fat Titzgerald was in our section getting harassed

If Patrick Fitzgerald does Gerald Fitzpatrick?

 

[Karl Hungus]

So dumb

 

[HerkyHopeful]

He would have been drafted this year so he cant be fucking terrible. Fuck we need to see something though

 

[Hawkstrat]

Yeah, that's it.

 

[Thrawn II]

Gronowski was told to limit film so he threw a bounce pass to an open guy in the end zone.

or he had surgery and is coached by retards. He’s been bad in practice as well.

I think the worse one was that dump off that sailed way over the RBs head

 

[Thrawn II]

He was terrible. Which doesn't mean that he can't or won't play better. But it's okay to admit that he added to Iowa's list of like 60 straight games of terrible QB play today. It wasn't some grand illusion.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

He looked like shit and had about as much moxy as Petras.

 

[Stu Beagle]

That bounce pass to a wide open guy in the end zone is maybe the worst pass I’ve ever seen from an Iowa QB

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Also, the new seat backs suck ass. They’re super rigid and it’s better without them

 

[OlePeep]

Gronowski’s left leg brace/wrap was McNamarian. I thought his shoulder was hurt, has he got a bum leg too?
