Talk Hawkeyes

Hopefully getting the wind this quarter will help a little.

ISU continues to pick the defense apart with short stuff until a odd reverse looking thing gets stuffed. Then an invomplete pass. 3rd and 10. Short pass back to line of scrimmage and then tackled. The defense keeps them out of the endzone. 42 yard attempt, good. Apparently the wind isn’t our problem.

ISU sets up the kick. Squib kick that Iowa lands on the ball on the 34. Christensen incomplete on the bootleg. Maybe 1.5 yards for Sims on second down. 3rd and 9. Christensen throws deeps to nobody…well somebody but I couldn’t see between the two ISU guys. 4th down. Time to punt again. Our specialty.

42 on the kick with the wind. ISU ball after the TV timeout.

Can we start scheduling all of our games at home. I hate watching them play on the road.

They just showed Christensen getting stretched by the trainers. Who is the backup? I don’t really want to find out today.

4th and 1 and ISU is going for it and gets it way too easily. They just ran the ball right off the tackle.

3rd down and 5. The defensive guys let a guy park 7 yards down field and catch another easy 1st down.

ISU goes for the deep TD, no good. And another field goal right down the middle.

ISU 12 - Iowa 0.

ISU gets a penalty on the Iowa runback, so we will be starting with good field position. 1st down on the 44. Sims wiggle ahead for about 8. Christensen is still in the game.

So far 4 possessions, 4 punts. 18 yards is the most we’ve had any series.

A goofy bubble screen for a 1st down to Brodell. We just get across midfield and then get sacked for 8 yards back to the other side of the field. Sims run back to the original line of scrimmage. 3rd and 11. 1:25 until half. Christensen incomplete. The punt goes into the end zone. ISU 1st down on the 20 with about 1 minute left.

ISU continues running for easy yards. Iowa burns a couple timeouts to force a punt with 17 seconds. Nice 5 yard punt. Iowa gets to take a hail mary from the 45 yard line. Or a short pass for zero points.

Half time.

Stay tuned for the 3rd quarter.
