@davidpollack47 I think the “have you seen your offense” part explains why you kick there. Down 5 the plan was make the kick, get a stop, then another FG to win it. Far more likely than the offense suddenly putting it together. (Yes, I realize that’s ultimately what happened)
@hawkeyegamefilm Idk if it’s because we haven’t had a WR than can get open on the deep route or had a QB with the arm and confidence to throw it. (Or a combination of the 2) But I do know I’ve seen a few other completions this year that we have rarely seen in the last 20 years.
@hawkeyegamefilm That’s a play Iowa has ran (in some variation) the last 20+ years, correct? It’s almost always the check down to the TE in the flat for a 2-5yrd gain. Occasionally we’ll hit the middle WR. I don’t know if I can ever recall a QB hitting the deep receiver on that play.
@carterbunch3@HuesmannKyle He’s also 12 and there’s a big chance he’s not playing baseball in 6 years. Or he’s playing a different sport. Or this is the peak of his athletic career and it’s all downhill from here. But hey, I hate fun too so great comment.
@jacobzanolla It was off the plate, but 1) it’s LL definitely not the worst call we will see and 2) that ump called a couple balls for Thissen that should have been strikes earlier
