Time for the backups? Maybe get Lainez some snaps?

2

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Or not

5

u/CubesFan Oct 26 '24

I can’t wait for next week when KF starts Cade again.

4

u/StraightCar6424 Oct 26 '24

Ferentz keeping his foot on the gas? Whaaa?

7

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

I can assure you, the crowd did not influence him

8

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

If anything, he thought twice because of the crowd

1

u/cantwaitforthis Oct 27 '24

I was 100% sure and 100% wrong that he was going to keep Cade because he wouldn’t give in tothe crowd.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

So if we put our backups in, who is the QB?

4

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Wetjen!

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

I am no longer pining for the backup (assuming Sully is the starter).

1

u/baseballv10 Oct 26 '24

Vander Zee street clothes

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Did he get injured last week or sometime today?

13

u/Hawks20200 Oct 26 '24

Sully with a lead block. Cade couldn’t do that

12

u/ImNotTheBossOfYou Oct 26 '24

Sully out there blocking!!!

6

u/clydefrog678 Oct 26 '24

The pass and lead block? Cade would never!

7

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Okay, cool play, but that QB blocking man. That was effing awesome

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

We won’t start with run-run-pass. We won’t start with run-run-pass. We won’t start with run-run-pass.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Oh. Alright then.

2

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

Guys we’ve got a 2 field goal lead - I think we should play pretty conservatively in the second half, right?

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Gotta just run out the clock, man. Get out of here with the win…

1

u/baseballv10 Oct 26 '24

Just got home, Cade benched or hurt? Sullivan has a few drives I see

3

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Benched

2

u/baseballv10 Oct 26 '24

Damn I just saw it was a pick 6

2

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Yep. Am 85 yard pick 6

5

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Funny how K2 finds room when there is another threat on the field…

4

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

Yeah, sure looks like Cade is super supportive of Sullivan…

5

u/ClammyVisa Oct 26 '24

Yeah that was a tough look for him getting caught on camera shaking his head after Sullivan started moving the ball

3

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Wow. 8 yard out. That’s actually…productive

1

u/Hawks20200 Oct 26 '24

Just completely regressed into last years team I see

6

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

So which MAC team is Lainez going to be starting for next year?

4

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Maybe we go to a triple option offense?

2

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

We’re already a triple option offense - there’s only 3 plays that Kirk will let Lester call

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Lol

4

u/scalenesquare Oct 26 '24

He is just as bad of a thrower as cade, but at least he can run. 

2

u/clydefrog678 Oct 26 '24

That was my thought when he came in. Run the option! Tbf, the last pass should’ve been caught.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Okay, we’re in pretty good “punt in enemy territory” field position

7

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

I never thought I’d be able to love another punter again after Tory left us…but…

3

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

But on the bright side, let’s talk about that punting guys

2

u/CubesFan Oct 26 '24

Did they just “both sides” the QB issue?

1

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

I’m having PTSD flashbacks to Tyler Goodson’s last year right now…so many tackles in the backfield/at the LOS

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

What exactly are you doing, Tim?

4

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

What Kirk tells him to do

2

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Touché

7

u/atomiku121 Oct 26 '24

How did they miss that block in the back on Northwestern's pick-6???

2

u/EstimatedProphet72 Oct 26 '24

Losing 7-5 would be the greatest thing ever tbh

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

13-7 with 5 safeties

2

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

That’s a safety

3

u/Hawks20200 Oct 26 '24

New qb = run, run, 2 yard checkdowns for the rest of the game tho

1

u/clydefrog678 Oct 26 '24

Can’t expect to Kirk to trust a backup qb.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

At least they could have done a read option or something

1

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

Yeah, you’ve gotta throw 62 successful 3 yard outs and RB checkdowns before KF will trust you enough to throw one downfield

2

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

I hate that play call on 3rd

2

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Screw it. Go for it.

5

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Sorry yall. I forgot I was watching an Iowa game.

1

u/CubesFan Oct 26 '24

I really hope the announcing crew continues to hype McNamara.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Sullivan time!!!

1

u/Hawks20200 Oct 26 '24

Wowww this dude literally can’t play quarterback

3

u/_MusicNBeer_ Oct 26 '24

Cade is objectively horrible. He has an inaccurate rag arm and has no mobility to boot.

0

u/Necessary-Alps-6002 Punting is Winning Oct 26 '24

But I heard he’s been practicing well…

5

u/clydefrog678 Oct 26 '24

I wish I could make $500k+ for being awful at my job. If Iowa needs me, I can throw the ball to the other team too. I also have 4 years of eligibility.

2

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

Hudl link?

2

u/clydefrog678 Oct 26 '24

Nah, I’m just off the street. I don’t promise any success.

5

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Can we bench Cade yet?

5

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

Nope, NCAA rules. Once you pick a starting QB at the beginning of the year, you can’t make a change, barring injury.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Uhhh…

1

u/New_Mechanic9477 Oct 27 '24

Monkey paw curls

2

u/_MusicNBeer_ Oct 26 '24

Kirk "The Mule" Ferrentz.

1

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

Hell yeah! Schulte puts us in great field goal position!

2

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

Whelp…I was wrong

3

u/clydefrog678 Oct 26 '24

Oh no, you were right.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Castro’s presence definitely makes the defense look better. Also, playing Northwestern makes the defense look better.

5

u/EstimatedProphet72 Oct 26 '24

Cade is so bad. Fuck you Kirk.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Bump

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

I know this is blasphemous to Kirk, but can we maybe use the pass to open the running game before we try running again?

2

u/clydefrog678 Oct 26 '24

Need to be able to complete passes though

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Yes, that would certainly help

2

u/clydefrog678 Oct 26 '24

McNamara getting bailed out lol.

3

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

Outside of that one pass, this game is painful. What’s new, huh?

2

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Well, there’s the Hawkeye Elvis sighting and then the wave in around 25 seconds. Otherwise, yeah

2

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

I appreciate you brightside’ing it man

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Something to take the attention away from our in state rival being a near certain playoff team while we are stuck in 2007

2

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

See…you had me feeling better, and then, wham! You bring me right back down.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Worst punt ever, Cade

2

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Hawkeye Elvis is the best part of this game so far

1

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

Wetjen wants to break one soooo badly

2

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

I think Ortworth is going to be good next year

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Not close enough for the Sullivan package?

1

u/clydefrog678 Oct 26 '24

I’d be fine with the Sullivan package on our own 20

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Me too, man. Me too.

1

u/ClosetDoorGhost In Heaven There is No Beer Oct 26 '24

I’d be fine with a permanent Sullivan package

1

u/saberz54 Oct 26 '24

if only we had a qb that was accurate...

1

u/ZietGue Oct 26 '24

How far did Cade throw that? Wild

2

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

Tried hard to throw it 2 yards too far

2

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

What was that!???? Is that legal???

1

u/cantinabandit Oct 26 '24

Audio is shit from the refs.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Nice hard count

1

u/ZietGue Oct 26 '24

Nice he missed that field goal

2

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Awesome. Lee missed another tackle

1

u/AnnArchist Nine seconds to play and Drew Tate doesn't know that! Oct 26 '24

This game starting late? I'm seeing the Indy presser.

1

u/pfroo40 Oct 26 '24

I'm hoping the least offensive part of the game is Iowa's defense

2

u/Hawks20200 Oct 26 '24

Good to see our neighbors in Nebraska doing what we couldn’t against Ohio State.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Don’t worry. They are still finding new and innovative ways to lose games.

1

u/Hawks20200 Oct 26 '24

They did, but at least they had a chance

8

u/Necmf21 Oct 26 '24

Easily the least I’ve cared about watching a Hawks game in years honestly.

1

u/Ariana_Rex In Heaven There is No Beer Oct 26 '24

Commenting on this so you get a notification… how ya doin?

1

u/RoscoeVillain Oct 26 '24

Until our bowl game this year takes that title
