Poor Sportsmanship?

[DiderotsGhost]

Also, we couldn't "run out the clock". They still had their timeouts. And given how Iowa was playing, they might've taken them.

It wasn't till we got the final 1st down that we could run out the clock.

Iowa is going to remember this and put up 7 points the next time they face us

 

[GrayWaterCanine]

Naw, I will ride over to your sisters.

Damn, you missed badly.

 

[Cdywolfe]

Oh well. Maybe they shouldn't have went for that 4th and 1 down 35 points on their own 30

This… After that I told my son we needed to run the offense.

Maybe they could have played backups too. Maybe they could have put a single point on the board. Maybe maybe maybe.

I wouldn't have let the clock run

Y'all funny. Lol.

In a parallel universe perhaps.

Underrated!

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Dude, come on. You know we should have taken a knee.

Why? Let the guys who don’t get a chance to play play. If the defense can’t stop them, that’s their problem. People have complained about Nico not getting any playing time on blowout wins. Why not give Moore reps when you can?

 

[Visidog]

Has anyone done the math? When we had a first down with about 2 minutes left, could we have actually run out the clock taking a knee? Or would have been one of those weird, awkward, scramble around for a bit to waste time to get there things?

40 seconds of play clock on 3 downs is 2 minutes, plus 3 seconds to run the kneel down per play. Teams can run just over 2 minutes off by kneeling.

 

[Behr]

I wondered what we were gonna be really pissed off about this time.

Lol.

 

[daj2576]

Grow up! Need to take a knee on the last play.............why score........what would that prove.

As a competitor I would find it far more embarrassing when someone else gives up and goes easy on me.

Why do I need them to give me less than their all? What does that prove? And if people were openly calling for the other team to go easy, that's about the worst insult imaginable. Thank you for pointing out that I'm so totally inept that other people have to beg for my opponent to give up because I can't do anything to stop it.

Three things in life are inevitable....death, taxes, and the Vols beatin' down the Hawkeyes in a bowl game.

 

[Majors]

The backups earned the right to play. It’s up to Iowa to stop the backups, it’s not up to the backups to help Iowa.

I can't remember how that set of downs started, but sometimes first down will be a 25 second play clock or the clock doesn't start until the snap such as when the previous play went out of bounds. Again I can't remember the set of circumstances or the exact timing in this case.

Maybe someone less lazy than me will go back and check

 

[Volfan2012]

Anybody that had the over on points was begging for that score. I heard one guy yell kick a field goal. He must've had the over which need to be more than 36.

 

[Mikevol1964]

Dude, come on. You know we should have taken a knee.

Absolutely not. Those were 3rd or 4th team guys. They deserve to play too.

You may be right. I, too, am too lazy to check.

Post of the year!!!!

 

[chuck0303]

Who cares if they got upset ?

They should be upset at their head coach; that's where their wrath should be. It's not Tennessee's fault Iowa doesn't have an offense. If you can win 10 games in a conference and have no offense, what does that say about how weak your conference is?

we didn’t bitch when Mizzu ran it up.

Heupel isn’t big on taking a knee, and f em if they don’t like it
