**Official Penn State vs. Iowa Football Thread - 6:00pm - THE COCK**

[HiawathaHawk]

Linebackers are still mostly ass. I’d like to see the young guys. Montgomery is the size of a toddler

He’s short as hell but stout and strong with some explosion. He was really good last week and had a couple nice stops yesterday. He’s not going sideline to sideline but between the tackles against the run he looks solid.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Did Harrell play more than the one play he had a tackle?

 

[CamelTones]

Did Harrell play more than the one play he had a tackle?

He was in that whole series. Defense was on the field a lot. Was likely just to give someone in the back seven a break.

Penn State was effective making him him run, but he is a solid tackler and has good instincts

 

[nolookpass]

Montgomery got pancaked a few times yesterday.

 

[Gushawk]

Have we all agreed that X deserves flowers for his recent play, likely thanks to the tough love motivational tactics of @Fair and Balanced?

 

[Gushawk]

Montgomery > Harrell, but hopefully not firmly entrenched with union card

 

[Fritz Fequiere]

Xavier pummeled that QB on the INT return too. That was awesome.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

That ex-Dowling Smolik kid must suck. Looks like he got hurt in his limited time yesterday too.

Montgomery had an equipment issue and came out for a few plays. Was noticeable how much better Montgomery had been playing than Harrell when that happened.

Definitely. Best football he’s played in his life. Been an impact player.

 

[Gushawk]

he seems to have found a love for hitting as his college career winds down

 

[Talkin' Goat]

60 minute version on BTN at 7pm tonight. Fwiw peace.

 

[ChipHilton]

Tight ends did very well under Davis.

 

[Fritz Fequiere]

Jones was pile driving their middle linebacker that entire 2nd drive.

 

[Debit One]

Hitting, yes.

Tackling, no.

Please use your arms, X.

 

[KitKatApples]

That’s fair

 

[L. Wade Childress]

the D Rob plan

This is the worst tackling team I can remember in my lifetime, and I’m really curious if it’s because it’s also the first team that doesn’t full tackle at all in practice.

It's like they don't use their arms at all.

 

[Bob Sanders]

I wonder if there has ever been another TV announcing crew for a CFB game where the PBP announcer was a former starting QB for one of the teams and the color guy was a former starting QB for the other team. This may have been a first.

fucking racist!

Robinson did a good job of not sucking PSU’s dick, I thought

great song choice for The Wave.

In the 4th quarter he came over and was bleeding quite a bit by his ear - kept playing. They said something on the radio show about him needing stiches after last game because of hitting so hard.

 

[Mysterio]

didnt realize ladell betts was gone but the running backs seem to do a nice job in all aspects of the game. kudos to whoever the coach is

Pretty sure he doesn't have any remaining eligibility.

When I was watching it live I noticed the big scab on his right ear when he was sitting on the bench. Looked pretty fucking gross.

Stop it

 

[Mysterio]

hes done a great job this year. anyone who says otherwise is a dunderhead

 

[ivan_drago]

Stop using popular phrases!!!!! It’s gay!

 

[Hawk&Balls]

That one is stupid

 

[nolookpass]

hes done a great job this year. anyone who says otherwise is a dunderhead

he's at his natural position and is healthy. He was banged up all last year

 

[Gushawk]

He also sort of sucked vs both ISU and Indiana

 

[Hawk&Balls]

He was invisible the first month of the season. He's been pretty good the last two games.

 

[douglasbader]

I gotta agree, the flowers one is pretty fucking dumb.

 

[nolookpass]

He was invisible the first month of the season. He's been pretty good the last two games.

he was 2nd on the team in tackles versus ISU-3rd versus Indiana.
his tackle totals for the FS position at Iowa seem higher than normal, probably because of the sub par LB play this year. He is tied for the team lead in solo tackles.

Sharer and the other 2 have a penchant for running into blocks.

 

[KitKatApples]

What's up with the flowers?

Watching the 60 minute replay, a couple things stand out, but the biggest ones are that Koen Entringer might have had the two plays of the game on 3rd down. The first on a perfectly timed blitz and sack on the late drive where Penn State had to kick a FG. The second on 2nd down on the last drive where the RB could have got a first down but he stopped him 4 yards short.

X also had a PERFECTLY timed blitz on the last play that disrupted the Penn State enough the QB immediately had to run for his life. If you watch the replay, if they don't get that pressure Penn State had a great play drawn up with the guy in motion would have easily had a first down.

Phil Parker coached Iowa has always been pretty shitty at timing blitzes, but in this case these two were perfect.

 

[Gushawk]

I think they’ve generally been better timing blitzes this year.

 

[BBK]

Koen is a legit stud. Top 2-3 round pick if he returns

 

[Gushawk]

Of this year’s regular defensive contributors, I think Graves, Llewelyn, Entringer, X, and Hall all probably make NFL rosters. Allen may too.

Lutmer is going to be one of the stars of the show next year. Not sure where exactly he’d end up but I could see a Reed Blankenship like safety.
