I apologize ahead of time forum readers. I'm sure it's been stated 100 times and I don't have time to read all the posts. But the play calling was BRUTAL on the offensive side tonight. Scouting reports say Iowa's defense and special teams score more than their offense. You want to win? You do NOT give Iowa's defense any opportunities to take away the ball and/or score. We passed (we ATTEMPTED to pass) in so many situations where we should have fed Chase Brown. 4th quarter, 2nd and goal, game on the line we PASS? JAYZUZ you feel Brown the ball three times and kick a field goal for the lead and MAYBE you score a TD. We pass on 2nd and goal and it's picked off. The ONLY thing that can't happen happened. Defense holds like a BOSS. We get the ball back. First down, feed Chase. Second down and Chase in motion and goes wide??? QB run and Sit almost fumbles the ball??? That's basically HOW TO LOSE TO IOWA 101. If you don't feel comfortable feeding the #1 RB in the nation then kick the field goal on 2nd down. That would suck less. REALLY REALLY terrible calls. It wasn't tricksy, it's wasn't 3D checkers, it's was BAD, horrible, abysmal play calling. The refs bail us out and fix the call. Iowa's points go off the board and we pull out the win. You just do NOT put your backup QB in that position on those downs. And we got some solid plays out of Artur and he got us downfield. Feed Chase, and if he doesn't score you got the field goal. Brown should have had more touches. Outstanding game given that defense. Ugly win. And how fun is it to watch our defense play? Feed Chase and let the D do their thing. I hope I NEVER see us feed their D like that again. I forgive you LJ, don't ever do that again.
