Talk Hawkeyes

More to come after I find some food.

Because of our stupid decision to always take the ball first at the beginning of the game, ISU will start with the ball.

Shada almost intercepts the ball but takes the opportunity to prove that he belongs on the defensive side of the field by dropping the ball.

FUMBLE. Iowa’s ball. Meyer runs the ball one to many times. Iowa takes advantage by false start on 1st down. 1st and 15.

Christensen complete to Brodell for the 1st down. Is that an offense I smell? Young takes a big hit, but after an 8 yard run on 1st down. Sims for 1. 3rd and less than 1. So, the Iowa guy runs for about 6 and the ref happens to catch that his knee went down after only inches. 4th and 1 and we’re going for it. Bootleg run. TOUCHDOWN!

Iowa 7 - ISU 12.

Quote of the day, “That drive was caused by the fumble.” Thanks Mr. Announcerman.

Kickoff, that guy should have taken the knee since he got clobbered on the 20. ISU ball 1st and 10 from the 20.

Meyer continues dinking. No word on whether he is still dunking or not. Short pass. Even shorter run. 3rd and 6. Short pass and Moylan nails the receiver short of the 1st down. Friends, let’s teach a quick lesson here. On 3rd and 6, throw the ball more than 6 yards or just punt early. Bad kick, Iowa at midfield.

Sims sneaks up the field 17 yards. The momentum seems to be swinging.

Sims runs for a loss of a few and a flag on the play. Facemask, 5 yards. 2nd and 5. Christensen tries to throw an INT but nobody on ISU wants to catch the ball. 3rd down on the ISU 21. Shotgun. Christensen was obviously not listening to my lesson a couple paragraphs ago. 4th and 2 after the completion. 35 yard field goal is good.

ISU 12 - Iowa 10.

Kickoff returned and the ISU guy is clobbered again.

ISU 3rd and 5. ISU receiver goes 6 yards. Shada covers him at 7 yards. Somebody read the lesson above and somebody else didn’t.

See above. It just happened again.

That was holding on Klinkenborg. No call. But he still tackled the runner. 3rd and 6. Let’s see if we have this figured out yet. ISU helps the cause by running for nothing. 4th down. End of the third.

4th quarter to come.
