The Players and not the coaches blew this game

Like everyone, I expected more offensive creativeness. But let's face it. Our Defensive players were playing an inept QB. And they knew the ball was being run at them. I saw so many missed tackles by our Linebackers and Safeties it made me sick to my stomach. Many that were not even blocked!!

Locke's lack of mobility is ridiculous, he is not the answer especially against legitimate defensive teams like Iowa.


Braelon Allen might have been hurt but his lack of wiggle and creating big plays were not there when needed. Why did we stop attacking deep? Bryson had the size, heck a jump ball with him was better than our 3 and out punt drives the entire dang game.

We don't have the talent needed on Defense imho, and the Offense simply did not execute (QB throwing the ball short, WR's not coming back to the ball)

Our players simply did not do the little things today and Iowa's did.

They just beat us with a QB with no mobility 6-14 for 37 yds and their top TE's injured SMH

Not sure where Nick Evers is on the depth chart but if Mordecai is out then give him a chance at least we'll have a mobile QB that doesn't look like he is crapping his pants in the pocket.
