u/AnnArchist Nine seconds to play and Drew Tate doesn't know that! 8d ago

We scored 40 again. Feels good. Half our games we've put up 40+.

u/jkv9216 8d ago

It was funny watching them score a meaningless touchdown at the end and watch them celebrate like they won the game.

u/mikeyb1 8d ago

Vegas called

u/IAstrikeforce Let The Peacock Fly 8d ago

Few things better then hearing "Lets Go Hawks" in a road game

u/AnnArchist Nine seconds to play and Drew Tate doesn't know that! 8d ago

heard that coming over the broadcast early on. Did enjoy that.

stadium was empty near the end.

u/IAstrikeforce Let The Peacock Fly 8d ago

Can't stop the run game so they play dirty

u/KSuper20 8d ago

This crew has sucked ass

12

u/No_Bill_203 8d ago

Ok now I really like Hecklinski

4

u/RevolutionaryFlan388 8d ago

what did he say on the hard count? I missed it

15

u/No_Bill_203 8d ago

Something like ‘JUST. FUCKING. JUMP!’

1

u/bennetj17 8d ago

I thought I heard him say that for a second.

7

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

Mari and that run blocking has been stellar

3

u/MLBFanCubs 8d ago

No pass rush and god awful pass d

1

u/HopelessMind43 8d ago

Styles is not ready…

1

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

He made that nice tackle then comes out and gets two penalties immediately

6

u/Gloomy-Formal5162 8d ago

I personally don’t like the first penalty but whatever I’m biased

8

u/IAstrikeforce Let The Peacock Fly 8d ago

We don't have ball hawks anymore

5

u/sjl666 8d ago

Was supposed to be Lutmer this year but I’m just not seeing it

1

u/Responsible-Shape-98 7d ago

Yeah I feel like I hardly hear is name called. Maybe that’s a good thing?

14

u/PrinceChastamy 8d ago

Bahahaha holy shit - refs doing everything to keep this a game. Insane.

2

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

I’m so tired of this secondary

1

u/FLHawkeye10 7d ago

Some yes they need to tighten up. Other times we were just sitting in a prevent defense all night. He was aggressive in the first half. Once we knew we could run and score we relaxed. A lot of plays we were just sending 3 down lineman and letting Brown just slinging the ball.

Some questionable calls and alot of missed holding. I’m convinced the defensive play calling would have been extremely different if it was closer. Either way Watson was getting picked on as well as our safeties. Also, the officials seemed to be hyper focused on our defense disregarding UWs blatant penalties.

Either way it’s a win so tighten up and move on.

9

u/MossyKeyboard34 8d ago

Not the secondary’s fault… when you get 12 shots at the end zone from inside 5 yards it’s hard to play defense

0

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

They are the reason why that happened. 4 PI and holding penalties

6

u/MossyKeyboard34 8d ago

And all but one of them questionable

10

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

Gifted them that. 3 automatic firsts

9

u/No_Bill_203 8d ago

This is getting pretty weak from the refs

6

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

Holy shit PI on EVERY play

1

u/IAstrikeforce Let The Peacock Fly 8d ago

Just moronic

2

u/IAstrikeforce Let The Peacock Fly 8d ago

Parker has no respect for their backup QB and he is making us pay

2

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

Coverage has been bad bad this half

4

u/Apatschinn 8d ago

Is Heck legit the guy, or does W's D suck something awful? Or both?

2

u/dontmakemedoothis 7d ago

Hank is such a Kirk QB, meaning he has none of the physical traits you want in a QB of a competitive P5 offense.

His throws have no zip, he’s not incredible mobile or nimble in the pocket, and he has no deep ball. Heck has all of those traits and even made some tight throws on the run tonight that gave Diaz a chance to make a play. Specifically that low throw that got reviewed and upheld.

I haven’t seen the offense play that loose and energized all year. It’s like they could open up the whole playbook with Heck.

1

u/stephen0933 8d ago

I mean all three tds were dudes just standing by themselves in the endzone. So hard to tell

6

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

Heck has been good, but this Washington D isn’t good

3

u/jgs1974 8d ago

Offense fun to watch tonight

7

u/yarl51 8d ago

Their offense looks good but holy cow UW looks lost on D

4

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

The offense looks soooo good today man

6

u/monkeymatt1836 8d ago

That throw was smooth

4

u/No_Bill_203 8d ago

LBs are the best part of our D right?

3

u/jgs1974 8d ago

This backup qb is pretty good - need to keep the foot on the gas

-4

u/Specific_Hair2872 8d ago

I knew the hawks weren’t gonna hang on🤦‍♂️😢

u/ShyGuy1511 Punting is Winning 8d ago

What?

5

u/Beginning-Tie111 8d ago

Hey Hawks… lets wake up

2

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

Gonna have to clean that up big time

2

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

Wallace getting torched

2

u/DooDooShitPoopster 8d ago

If this game continues the way it's gone, is there a chance Heck gets the nod next week?

1

u/dontmakemedoothis 7d ago

We’re on a BYE. Then Gophers on the road in what now looks like a trap game. I bet Kirk goes back to Hank, but won’t hesitate to bring Heck in if the offense goes back to sputtering. They’ve looked so much more dynamic with Heck. Even the run game works better with him under center.

1

u/DooDooShitPoopster 7d ago

Yep I realized after I wrote that last night that it was bye coming up. But boy Heck is fun to watch. I remember back in the day when we had Rudock and Beathard, somebody said Rudock will win the games he's supposed to, Beathard will win the games he's not supposed to. Kind of feel like it's the same deal here potentially.

-1

u/BlueberryNew6926 8d ago

It's still a game. It's nice having the real QB1 in the game but it's still a team coached by KF. If anybody can find a way to let a terribly coached UW team back in it, we have the guy. I'm hoping for a TO on the first drive of this series to cement it.

1

u/ComprehensiveLog4241 8d ago

Well, I did not see this coming

2

u/Rekab5711 8d ago

It makes me really sad when the Huskies get their asses handed to them. 😉

3

u/Snake_Burton 8d ago

Exceeded my expectations! Play smart and keep running and you should put this thing away. They’ll roll over if they don’t get 6 on the opening drive of the second half.

1

u/Witty-Yard4674 8d ago

Great to see iowa finally has a competent offense to pair with their Smith wrong defense. Not even an iowa fan but for years seeing their offense score 6, 10, 13, 9, and 3 ponts was just brutal

2

u/IAstrikeforce Let The Peacock Fly 8d ago

Keep contain and wrap up and they can't do anything

6

u/No_Entertainment_75 8d ago

Iowa has 27 points at half, and the under will STILL probably hit LMAO 🤣 ....just let that sink in for a second....

2

u/Cultural-Mirror6112 8d ago

As a huskies fan, we are ass. You guys finally found a QB , your defense has always been great

2

u/jkmhawk 8d ago

Hank looked good against bad Ds too

1

u/dontmakemedoothis 7d ago

Hank looked functional against bad Ds, and down right in over his head against anything more than functional. Remember Iowa State?

1

u/Inside_Inspector_122 8d ago

We have a quarterback!

6

u/False-Community8534 8d ago

OSU fan. I thought you guys might have a dip after last week. Not at all though. Love seeing you guys delivering this beat down.

2

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

So, who is getting fired from Washington tomorrow?

3

u/Ok-Sale-8105 8d ago

Husky here: Fisch is owed $34 mil if we fire him and UW Athletics is $48 mil in debt. Unfortunately Fisch will likely stay. I hope I'm wrong.

1

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

Damn, that’s a tough situation

2

u/novahawkeye 8d ago

Go check out the comments on their subreddit. They are losing their minds.

4

u/Murky-Bread-4769 8d ago

lol I remember last year when Washington fans were offended as to why they could possibly be beat by Iowa. Welcome to the big 10 guys.

2

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

I love the former Pac12 teams getting crushed

4

u/Murky-Bread-4769 8d ago

I think they had this mindset that if they came to the Big 10 that they would be able to dominate. I mean, I’m not saying the Big 10 is stacked but literally any team that you play against in the Big 10 is a potential upset. I’m saddened we didn’t win against Ohio State but we can still compete at a high level.

5

u/jgs1974 8d ago

4 sacks by linebackers.  I love this defensive game plan

13

u/PeppersMcPeter 8d ago

1

u/AnnArchist Nine seconds to play and Drew Tate doesn't know that! 8d ago

hope you snapped another one in the 4th. place looked empty on tv by then

2

u/PeppersMcPeter 8d ago

Not a good game to sit in the rain for.

5

u/IAstrikeforce Let The Peacock Fly 8d ago

Did Vonnahme get hurt on the play? He looked liked he slowed up suddenly. He stayed in for the PAT but something to look at

1

u/LittleKoalaNickJr 8d ago

He no-sold it as soon as he crossed the goalline, so I don't know.

4

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

I thought the same thing

1

u/IAstrikeforce Let The Peacock Fly 8d ago

OK he's fine

1

u/LittleKoalaNickJr 8d ago

I'm probably jinxing it but I don't see Washington scoring 21 tonight.

8

u/RegularCrispy "Iowa? It sounds exotic!" 8d ago

What is this strange new sport we are playing?

7

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

Man this is just downright fun as hell

1

u/Gremell 8d ago

Am i crazy or heck just dropping dime after dime, the diaz one on third down was perfect. The deep pass broken up was perfect just a great breakup. He has some sort of gunslinging + swag to him.

1

u/Odd-Web4113 8d ago

I was always surprised they didn’t go heck….he has a different factor.

2

u/blueeekthecat 8d ago

He’s had some good throws but he’s also been kind of terrible at times. The running game is saving us, if he didn’t have that to help open things up this would be a tighter game.

1

u/dontmakemedoothis 7d ago

I’d argue that his ability to push the ball downfield also opens up the run game

1

u/blueeekthecat 7d ago

Go watch the first half again. He looked awful at the beginning of the game and his throws he did make were completely busted coverages. He had a couple of good passes but overall pretty average play. That doesn’t mean Hanks better than him or vice versa. But the games where they played together, Hank clearly outperformed him. We are lucky that we have two serviceable qbs which is a luxury we haven’t had for the past decade.

1

u/_heyASSBUTT 8d ago

Can someone explain to me why the announcer just said that it’s OK if the ball hits the ground if he keeps control of it? That doesn’t make any sense.

3

u/Prudent-Drawer-2747 8d ago

The ball can "touch" the ground as long as the ground isn't used to secure the ball. Kind of a simultaneous hands and ground thing.

0

u/_heyASSBUTT 8d ago

Copy that. Thanks.

-1

u/IAstrikeforce Let The Peacock Fly 8d ago

Because that's the rule.

u/_heyASSBUTT 8d ago

Thanks for being helpful

u/monkeymatt1836 8d ago

What a fucking catch

u/jgs1974 8d ago

Great run and Washington really needs to get more physical or Fisch may not last long there

Best run from a Hawkeye RB in a long time.

6

u/IAstrikeforce Let The Peacock Fly 8d ago

Been waiting for Molton to break one of those runs this year

3

u/pizzayolo96 8d ago

God damn Molton will not be denied

-1

u/opto16 8d ago

Not impressed with Lester’s play calling this game. Just running it every play until 3rd and long and putting Heck in a tough spot. All the while Washington loads the box on 1st and 2nd down.

1

u/jgs1974 8d ago

Sideline reporter catching better than the receivers tonight lol

-1

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

Hank opens the passing game so much better than Heck

0

u/user_error_soml 8d ago

What's up with Hank not starting?

1

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

Still banged up

0

u/Gremell 8d ago

What????

1

u/Gloomy-Formal5162 8d ago

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a delay of game on the defense. How does that work?

2

u/jgs1974 8d ago

They said we were trying to simulate offense's signals or something similar to draw the offense offside - it gets called occasionally

1

u/Gloomy-Formal5162 8d ago

Thank you I missed that

1

u/jgs1974 8d ago

Passing game a little off for both teams

2

u/IAstrikeforce Let The Peacock Fly 8d ago

Should not line up under center. Everyone knows they aren't throwing from there. Just stay in shotgun

2

u/Rare_Barracuda_5152 8d ago

Heck opens up the offense, brown doesn’t make that throw 9 times out of 10. Only problem so far with heck is he needs to slow down the ball on the quicker passes

2

u/Responsible-Shape-98 8d ago

2 field goals. Bleh…

4

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

Have to get in the endzone on a drive like that

1

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

Limitation through the air right now

1

u/TCPisSynSynAckAck 8d ago

See ya in the NFL Vander Zee

5

u/LittleKoalaNickJr 8d ago

Good start, want to see a TD this drive.

2

u/TCPisSynSynAckAck 8d ago

Just a kick :/ better than nuttin I guess.

3

u/IAstrikeforce Let The Peacock Fly 8d ago

2 bad throws to start. Back to seeing 9 in the box

1

u/Rare_Barracuda_5152 8d ago

The 2nd ball was a designed throw, he was supposed to throw that ball no matter what. 1st throw there was nothing open

2

u/GRB_Electric 8d ago

Man, Heck can’t see and has to sky that ball

1

u/feelosiphize 8d ago

We suck against Washington so often and west coast travel has been no bueno.

2

u/UrbanSolace13 8d ago

Feeling worried about this one. Good luck Heck! Let's see what you got!

5

u/LuvGingers888 8d ago

Go Hawks!

16

u/user_error_soml 8d ago

Iowa State at 915pm and Iowa at 8pm? Both on a Friday? Nobody consulted me on this schedule, booooo. I'm gonna back to yelling at clouds

2

u/PMURITTYBITTYTITTIES 8d ago

This is going to be the deadest Iowa October Saturday that’s not a bye week ever recorded

This feels like a cherry picked ESPN stat now that I type it out

8

u/autochthonous 8d ago

Traveling on the east coast and the game not being on until 9 is brutal.

5

u/CharlieMoonMan 8d ago

If you're in the southeast be careful brother! Im in atlanta and its gonna be rough weather weekend!

2

u/autochthonous 8d ago

Thank you, but I’m in Pennsylvania. Penn State country. Barf.

Edit: stay safe. Hoping you can ride it out.

2

u/hannibal_actual 8d ago

NC here.. yeah, the eastern time zone sucks for sports.

Regardless, hoping our Hawkeyes take care of bih-niss tonight. Hopefully Hecklinski swallowed a bunch of Robin Hood tokens and his accuracy is on point. 🤞🏻💪🏻

1

u/autochthonous 8d ago

Glad he’s getting the start. It’ll just make Hank that much more eager to get in.
