[Herky] Half: Penn State 7 Iowa 6

[Larry Edwards]

I don't think Iowa was conservative. Penn State and Michigan were both more conservative and "out Iowaed" Iowa. Rely on defense, keep the ball on the ground, and don't make mistakes. The middle of Iowa's offensive line is just not good enough to establish a ground game and avoid sacks.

Extremely disappointing loss. 
The defense keeps the opponents to a total of 27 points over two weeks and we come up with two losses. 
Our QB has more yards and yards per attempt and catch and ends up on the losing side both times. 
The senior QB loses to a first year starter and a second year starter. 
Stanley is better on the move but he stands in the pocket too much and takes a sack. 
He has not overthrown too much now and has underthrown a bit 🙂 

Cannot understand the punt returner always allowing the ball to roll another 10+ yards and putting us in a hole. 
Two games in a row that we have had horrible average starting field positions. 
Second game in a row that the first punt by Dalton was a horrible one that allowed the opponent to score. 
Our LBs are weak as they do not seem to hit the gaps are were used to the last decade as PSU always seemed to get 4-5 yards between the DLine. 

In spite of all the -ves, without that missed TD catch by Brandon Stone/Smith and the missed FG we would have WON. 
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting something to be different is stupid. 
Our guys played hard till the last sec and my heart goes out to them for the loss. 

Did not understand the first timeout taken by BFz when the offense was in a good flow. 
We do not play hurry up even when we are behind by two scores in the fourth quarter. 
Did not understand not going for an onside kick. 
Whether you are successful or not you are in the same predicament whether from 20 yard line or at the 50. 
One first down would kill the game. 

Too much rambling from a guy who learnt football from TV 🙁 
I think we need to go get some young aggressive coaches and get out of this same old stuff.

Offense is not effective against a very good Penn State defense.
