Iowa vs Iowa State game review


Hi Bloggers! There were a lot of mistakes that cost Iowa the football game today.  Everyone will blame this one on James Vandenberg but I caution you to do so.  I think the fault lies with the offensive line and the wide receivers.  The offensive line could not open up holes for the running back.  We had first and goal on the 3 yard line and had to settle for a field goal.  This can’t happen if you want to win football games.  You can only win if you score touchdowns.  It is up to the offensive line to provide a push so the running back can sneak into the end zone.  The receivers are to blame for one simple reason, dropped passes.  If your receiving core has more than one dropped pass, there is something wrong.  There were just too many mental mistakes here that cost Iowa first downs, touchdowns, and ultimately the game.  It is sad if your star catcher of the game is the running back.  The only upside to this game is our defense holding Iowa State on so many drives.  Before you make the “I hate James Vandenberg” flags, understand he didn’t have any help today.  This might be a very long season for the Iowa Hawkeyes.
