I was afraid I might see you.

When there is no deep safety on some of these 3rd downs, I wish we would look at a TE hot route to get it out quickly. It’s there.

 

[Glitch]

Nasty sack

 

[Jackcrevol]

DJ Uiandleldj back to ACC. FSU this time.

 

[VolGee4]

Are we sure we don’t want Evan Stewart? Part of the sacks is on the O-line but the WR’s are not getting open

They’ve been fine. 2 drops. Will have Brazzell, Matthews, and maybe Bru back. Plenty of talent.

 

[csprig9]

WRs are fine. Iowas defense is no joke. This OL isn’t gonna be the starting OL for 2024.

These wrs are not good beside 10
That’s part of the problem JM had also
Iowa maybe wins 6 games in the SEC
The defense is good but way over ranked stat wise bc of competition

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

How did we manage to get the citrus over lsu?

Because our fans actually show up for bowl games.

 

[DD4ME]

Nico has almost no time to throw

Not always true at all. He held it 10+ seconds several times.

 

[Glitch]

somebody wake Glitch up. probably drank 3 bottles of cough syrup

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Somebody needs to tell that Iowa QB he missed his calling and needs to join their shot put team

 

[therickbol]

Fairly dominant first half

Lost TOP. Can't be good until we fix that.

LSU didn't want it

 

[csprig9]

So are you

Yep
DD and OL starting is bad but CGE getting even remotely good play out of This line is impressive with the talent on it

 

[loosedog]

Haven’t been following the thread so could be repetitive but Nico should be 10/13 for probably 175 or so if not for the bad drops. Sampson may have scored on the Utah pass.

There’s been a few open guys that Nico has missed

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Liberty doubled FSU score.

And? Liberty didn’t have a huge part of their team sit out.

 

[Ace]

Sampson has been poor in pass protection. I know he wants to slip out to catch a screen, but he cannot just whiff in pass protection

 

[MarcoVol]

“this is the best this Iowa’s offense has looked in weeks.” Of course.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Not that many.

 

[KB5252]

Most of it is oline. Dude is running for his life to be fair.

Agreed but we aren't getting much of any separation. WR play needs to be better to take the next step.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I know we got good OLs out and the players taking their place are doing the best they can...but this OL today is an issue. If we could just get better pass blocking, this game would already be over.

And I am not dogging our guys, I know they are doing the best they can against a good defense....they just do not have the ability.

 

[Orange_Crush]

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

So what? That’s what the announcers said.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

0 three and outs for Nico in the first half.

 

[BearCat204]

Yeah, he hasn’t been perfect and has missed some reads, but man he looks really good and better than I think we could have realistically hoped for today.
