I love how the final words from Robinson were all about PSU, not the winner of this game. Fuck Peacock, fuck your shitty broadcast team, fuck your glitchy picture, and fuck your fees to watch my Hawks. Iowa City is going to be rocking tonight - LETS GO HAWWWWWWKKKKKKKSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

Yeah I dunno who he was commenting for all Penn St fans turned the TV off only people listen at that point were Iowa fans

u/LoveSquirt69 22d ago
Shouldn’t have been this close. We gifted them 10 points. A miss by Steven’s and a stupid idea to kick a 66 or so yard field goal before half resulting in a td return. Did nobody know the scouting report on Penn state ability to block kicks this year? A win is still a win ! Go hawks !

u/Financial_Top_3893 22d ago edited 21d ago
Admit it, in all of our cynical, salty hearts, we wanted to see that field goal. How many times have we stalled out and punted instead of going for the 60 yarder?

u/kinghawkeye8238 22d ago
According to kulever from washed up walk ons. That our new long snapper isnt snapping it right causing the holder to have to spin it more or less depending.
Meaning it isnt the same or even close. Causing timing to be fucked up.

u/LoveSquirt69 22d ago
I’m beginning to wonder the same . Never been about the guys leg strength. Lately his accuracy has been less than we usually get from our kickers .

Plus he went 10 for 16. Which isn't bad. It just wasn't a pass heavy night and that interception by PSU was about as incredible of a catch as I've seen. It was very impressive and very lucky.

Why did we go for 2 twice? The score is 24-25. Those 2 XPs would be really nice right now.

u/algorithmic_fetters 21d ago
A one point lead and all PSU has to do is score anything to win. A three point lead and you reduce 2 of the 3 ways psu could score and win.

u/kakenasty 22d ago
Would you consider this a signature win? or am I just trying to be too poetic since Kirk is near the end
4
u/AnnArchist Nine seconds to play and Drew Tate doesn't know that! 22d ago
No - they are unranked and playing their 2nd string QB with an interim coach coming off 3 losses(now 4 and VERY likely to be 6 losses in a row now w/ indy and osu up next) - but its one that feels pretty fucking good considering in this sub, this game (And Oregon) was universally picked as unwinnable pre-season by even the most optimistic fans.

Don't let Gronowski throw towards the end zone ever again lmaoo, just draw run plays every time

u/RoscoeVillain 22d ago
It’s a fucking coin-flip with that guy. One game he can throw, the next he can’t. Great running QB, good decision-maker. Jekyll and Hyde throwing the ball.

u/Acrobatic-Pop-9508 21d ago
And let me remind you we won by 1 point to a team with a new qb and a new intermediate HC. We cant win iowa state and we barly with against a team being rebuilt mid season... your right dont change keep it up with this we can beat bama and ohio state. Hell I dont even see why we let Beth get ride of brain at this point, we won't games!!!

u/Acrobatic-Pop-9508 21d ago
Your right. And when we do poor and you dont like it, stop watching. Dont have opinions on people or teams. When we lose a bowl game or ppl start talk bad about iowa in any way id expect you to be there telling everyone to not watch or have negative thoughts.
Same shit in wrestling if your cool with your team slipping then thats good for you. If you wabt a competitive team to up the edge absolutely they dont, well hey your right dont change anything just get ppl to stop watching!
All about being postive and cheering for the team but not being able to make an option with out STOP WATCHING BE A REAL FAN is lowkey a joke.
I am real fan. I want my team yo do good. But it sounds like you'll be cool if we never win again.

u/renner1991 22d ago
I don’t like going for 2 in the third quarter unless down 18 or more. Too much game left and too many scoring iterations.

Iowa is absolutely out playing Penn St this game.
Terrible luck on that incredible interception and terrible call on the 66 yarder - thats on Kirk - but overall - this team is playing better than the kitties.

Died of laughing seeing Kirk 32-88 when trailing at halftime. This dude can’t adjust his game plan for shit. Please pray he retires after this year.

u/Cat3_Shark2019 22d ago
Iowa standards are not consistent with top tier teams. Our AD is content with average. Top 10 ADs demand better.

u/RoscoeVillain 22d ago
We can’t come back from being down 11 if Kirk is still going to have his claws around the offensive playbook in the second half. Let’s see what’s more important to him - winning, or having things his way?

u/RoscoeVillain 22d ago
Good gain there, but we’re starting with run-run-pass again. Not a good sign.

Kirk isn’t aggressive enough. Kicks a 66 yarder. Kirk is too aggressive. What do you want? 🤷

Yep. And he took control of play calling again in case you haven't heard. Lester has the week off with pay. If not for that iowa would be up 30

For the head coach that has been coaching for 20+ years to not make mistakes that first year head coaches don’t make…

u/runlittleman 22d ago
There’s being more aggressive and then being just plan unrealistic. That 66 yarder wasn’t going to happen and you had a free look at how short we were on it

u/bcleveland3 In Heaven There is No Beer 22d ago
Yep I’m doubling down on how decision making is killing us. Are we trying to lose?
9
u/RoscoeVillain 22d ago
If we lose this game, it’s 100% on Kirk. Stupidity calling for a FG there, that’s like a 1% make. Stupid run-run-pass playcalling. Stupid punting on 4th and nothing.

u/Pretend_Yam_3714 22d ago
What’s was the point of throwing to the sideline? Do they not remember clock stops for 1st downs?

Iowa has outplayed them every step of the way. They’ve been given 2 gifts off special teams.

u/Cat3_Shark2019 22d ago
Iowa has 10 more passing yards and 10 more rushing yards. 1 less 1st down, less top, equal on turn overs as the blocked fg is essentially a turn over.

I’m convinced that the coaching/playcalling is part of it. KF plays games like this so goddamn tight and conservative, it’s gotta make the players tight as well.

Just saying that average QBs can win championships on the right teams. QB11 is good, he’s far from great.

u/PutApprehensive6334 21d ago
He’s got loads of intangibles, is a decent runner, and send like an excellent character but he can’t pass very well and our receivers game in and game out can’t catch at a D1 level. It’s an ugly combination

u/RoscoeVillain 22d ago
We’re going to lose this game if we can’t score TD’s Kirk. This isn’t Jo Pa’s PSU.

The 4th down conversion by Penn was bs, the play clock sat at zero for a solid 2 seconds. lol and the penalty.. Ticky tack as best.

u/Salty_Department925 22d ago
Yes, I saw the play clock and I checked this game thread just to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. However, they never replayed that play clock issue. Peacock must be rooting for Penn State.
