Hawks roll out there, Stanzi has fans begging for Randy Reiners or Jake Christensen. Hawks lose 47-3. Ferentz once again loses a Big Ten opener like he has done so many times in the past.
3-9 season.

How about that shitty South Carolina team beating Ole Miss? Anybody remember what happened 9 months ago when we played South Carolina? Anybody remember what Utah did to Alabama? WTF is with the SEC love fest? There's a lot of parity out there and if we get some bounces and Stanzi doesn't shit the bed, I think we could probably play with most teams in the country.

Agreed, BTR. Ole Piss didn't look like a top 5 team, which gives me hope about Penn State not being that good.
I think we score 1 special teams TD tomorrow night.

If our D-Line can push around there O-Line (and I think they will if they play like they did last week) If we survive the 1st quarter I think we are in good shape.
Iowa 23 Penn St. 17

Well, actually notwithstanding my incredibly pessimistic first post, I think the Hawks score 20. 2 TDs (one scored or set up by D or ST) and 2 FGs. I think Murray misses a FG. We lose 24-20 and have the ball at the end but fail to score a TD (though we would have only needed a FG to win had Murray hit the earlier one). Maybe, they score 31, but I think we score 20 or maybe 23.

Ole Miss isn't a top 25 team, let alone top 5.

Iowa 34 PSU 16
We stun the nation.
Someone has to be optimistic to make up for BTR's Hawkeye bashing.

Iowa wins 17-14. don't see a lot of offense being generated all day for either team. Close game, after Iowa not rated because Mark May says PSU lost, not Iowa won. Lou Holtz gets shot after being mistaken for a leprachaun.

During that long ass 2nd PSU drive, I looked at the wife and said that unless PSU scores spectacularly here (i.e. piledrive run over 4 guys)... Iowa just won the game.
She looked at me like wtf??? They are driving the ball down the field. But I was watching the D congeal.

I shit you not: I looked at my wife before the snap and said "Iowa needs to block this punt". I no more than got those words out and Clayborn was running down the field for a score.
We just laughed and high-fived. It was freaky-cool.

First game I have gotten to see all season and man it was worth the wait! Our defense is scary good. Offense not bad, needs a little consistancy and some stick em for the wide outs. Too many dropped balls at the beginning. But, they were solid, fairly consistant and Stanzi, while not great, didn't make the big mistakes and give up the ball. Great games and they look as good as I can recall seeing them in quite some time. Out of port, sunburnt and hungover, but sure as hell got a smile on my face. thanks Hawkeyes!

Agreed, BTR. Ole Piss didn't look like a top 5 team, which gives me hope about Penn State not being that good. I think we score 1 special teams TD tomorrow night. Got the special teams TD. This game was won by our D and ST. Our offense looked better in the 2nd half. My one complaint with Ken Keefe.....why are Sandeman and Chaney Jr. on the field? They are the 5th and 6th best receivers we have. DJK, McNutt, Stross and Keenan Davis are all better.

Chaney, Jr. is on the field because he is allegedly the fastest guy on the team. I agree with your assessment though.

Great call SoCal I said something similar to my wife and she had the same response! ;D If Stanzi and the WR ever get on the same page this team could do some real damage. If not we are going to lose a game that we shouldn't when the D has an off day.
