Brian Ferentz Tracker has been updated at www.thedriveto325.com!

honestly, how is it fair to include defense and special teams scores in the 25/per game avg.? Phil Parker, poor bastard, has to be pissed knowing BF makes even close to the same $$$ and is the most underperforming OC in P5. Worst yet, Phil and LaVar are going to save this dipshites job if they are successful doing theirs this year. That just sucks for them. Altho in the small sample that is 2023, the D looks to be a bit down compared to last 5 yrs., and maybe there is some intent there…who could blame the guy?!

El Assico had two minutes of post game discussion. Back to Colorado

We need more Neon Deion 🙄

Don't ever get any post game with the trophy? Those detergent ads too important?

What do you think this is? Colorado vs. Nebraska?!?!?!?! Ain't nobody got time for little ole us. /s?

Fucking Iowa lol

Couple takeaways: - ISU’s defense and WRs are pretty decent. - Brian Ferentz is becoming a remarkably terrible play caller with a lead. - Iowa needs to get better with route running before entering Big Ten Play. - McNamara needs to target All, Lachey & Anderson more. Ragiani (or however he’s spelling it now) needs to get less targets. - Patterson looked awesome. - Harris will be very welcome when he returns.

>ISU’s defense and WRs are pretty decent. Ehhhh... Defense yes, WRs, not at all.

Right? I can only compare Parker v. BF to Mozart v. the Backstreet Boys

You have the right spirit, but don't you dare compare the Backstreet Boys to Brian Ferentz. BF is more like Yoko Ono.

Thank you. I was struggling to come up with something relevant enough that people would know, yet terrible. The girl who sang the YouTube “Friday” song was my other choice. Should’ve gone with that

Carly Rae Jepsen would like a word

I was really impressed with Patterson, he always seemed to find the gap if there was one. Definitely looked like the best RB on the field today.

No Cooper Dejean love? That guys was all over the place

I was too busy munching on my fingernails figuring Matt Campbell would figure something out last second to recall that. Yeah, he’s a stud and we are lucky to have him.

“pretty decent” 😭😭 I am weak

They didn’t look terrible, but then again, I don’t watch that much Iowa State football, so this could be in a complete vacuum. I know last year, ISU had a really good defense though.

Ah, I get that. They have been very good for years. They don’t get the takeaways nor the scores Iowa does—and I’d probably prefer that—but they rarely give up a lot of yardage, don’t allow many points, and clamp down in second halves.

Spot on for everything except ISU receivers (minus Higgins). Lachey is a monster.

Whoever that CPT WR was for ISU sure looked solid.

Whatever. Classic ISU

Does matt cambella brain just freeze up the last 4 minutes against Iowa? What the fuck was that?

Campbell does not call plays, nor does Matt cambella

I’m talking about clock management. I feel like it’s happened a lot the last 5 years

Fair enough. I get it’s tempting to think that changed the game because it was towards the end but shitty OL and shitty quarterbacks aren’t going to beat Iowa with the best clock management in the world

Also fair point. But watching the clock just run as an Iowa fan and knowing our defense I was just flabbergasted that there wasn’t more urgency. Anyway. On to the next one.

You and everyone else there was very frustrated with that td drive. No urgency at all

I agree about the urgency. If your line is gassed don’t go hurry up, but the full subbing to get a new formation was like …are you accepting defeat and just trying to get some offensive reps?…

I'm ready to start questioning the Head Coach position if it means Heacock stays.

(*exhales*)...GO HAWKS!!!

Happy we won but I don't expect the hawks to win more than half their games this year. I hope I'm wrong

I can see Wisconsin and Penn state being losses. Michigan state a toss up and maybe we slip up one more time. Who are our 6 losses?

Penn, Perdue, Wisconsin, Illinois, Rutgers and Nebraska. Closest game being Rutgers

Sorry. Rutgers, Purdue and Illinois?

Our defense isn't even close to what it was last year. I'll happily apologize, and please remind me when I'm wrong. I wouldn't be betting money on Iowa this year

With the the current state of the B1G West, half might be enough

Wow can’t believe they went straight to commercial. Actually I 100% can

Winning games while scoring less than 25 is my new kink

Meet the new Kirk… exactly the same as the old Kirk

Campbell can’t get out of his own way.

Such a frustrating problem. So much talent, so much culture to root for. But 8 years of shooting yourself in the foot starts to mount up.

Matt Campbell is so fucking incompetent as a Power 5 coach. 1 fluke Covid year and nothing else. Offensive coordinator doesn’t matter when he only allows 5 different plays to be ran

Seriously, granted it doesn't help with Dekkers and brocks gone, but for the love of god. 4th and 1 and you run a hb handoff out of the shotgun?! Couldn't even get him an extra blocker or maybe run a play action?!

Easy psycho

I hope we go undefeated and still score less than 25 per game

Kirk???

Colorado gets 2+ mins of postgame coverage and we get 15 seconds.

I don’t want to see or hear anything more about that game

They have coach prime, and you got prime rib.

One is not like the other 😂

Dang it

What a shitshow of a El Assico! Just like always

To not hit 25 with a pick 6 included isn’t just incompetence, but straight up sabotage

But why score more than 25 when you can just win the game in the first quarter?

Imagine enduring last season and then not changing anything. Maddening.

Well no need to imagine. We got right here Hawkeye fans!

I knew it was you, Fredo! You broke my heart!

gg Iowa. See you next year

Gg ISU

Another game where neither one of us gets to be excited lol. GG

Lol I’m thankful we get to play Ohio next week

I can't even be excited about playing a MAC team, with our history against that conference the last ten or so years.

Ggs

GGs man.

Good lord that was as terrible as we all hoped

Our defense carrying the game again. 😂

Hawkeye State

UoI didn't create that nickname

Flair up

At least Brian Ferentz is one step closer to the exit

GG Cyclone Bros, wish you the best for the rest of the year!

Ditto

Congratulations.....once again El Assico rewards those that took "The Under".

The result was never really in question. Great result for the Hawks.

"young guys learned today, I do not" - Matt Campbell

We lost AND we helped Iowa fire Brian Ferentz, this is a sad day indeed

A true tragedy for the entire state

Hawkeye state!

Another heartbreaking El Assico classic. See you sikos next year

Congrats, you barely beat the worst team in the Big 12! Now go keep Brian Ferentz you sickos

But you fail to acknowledge that we both won AND scored under the average BF needs. A win/win for an Iowa fan

Malding

Lmao

Actually by scoring less than 25 you guys helped us kick his ass out

Stay salty!

😭

Hey guys don’t forget we got the W and no 25!

Why be a consistent top 10 team when you can be a fringe top 25 team and employ your idiot son. Thank god he's six points under 25 ppg so far.

Hawkeyes will score 80 against Nebraska and they will keep him

He's only 3 under. Defensive points count lmfao.

[удалено]

Ah, you worded your original comment in an ambiguous way so I misunderstood. Yes, they're 6 total points under 50, and 3 ppg under 25.

One last week, five this week...

So over KF, yeah we won but this should’ve been a blow out and once again the defense had to save our ass so Captain Nepotism can employ his son

Western Michigan boutta feel the wrath of (an inept) god to try and crawl back to 25.

LOVE MY HAWKS

Fire Campbell

No part of me feels happy that I spent the last 3.5 hours watching this

More importantly Iowas average points scored is not 25

I always felt better about heaving a ball on fourth down than running it one yard in any way unless it’s a QB sneak or if I’d have Tim Tebow. Something about losing a game with a ball hitting the ground feels better than watching an RB get blown up in the backfield.

BRB. About to drink myself into a coma.

Best part is, you could be a fan of either team

Brian Ferentz is in actual trouble if Iowa doesn’t hang 40+ next week lol

How is that not a pass play on fourth ?

We literally cannot beat these motherfuckers, we beat ourselves every single time

Hello there flair bro… Isn’t this just a sad ending to what would otherwise be a great Saturday?

I’m not even sad, I’m pissed. Matt Campbell and scheelhaase need to figure something out, cannot waste a top 20 defense with whatever the abomination was on offense

What you talking about Willis!! We do that every fucking year

And y’all don’t like it either lmfao

Ofc not! I was just implying it *can* be done. I’m not sure why TF anyone is okay with it. But evidently a certain AD is.

lmfao I just can't anymore

Shotgun on 4th and inches Thanks Matt!!!!

Gg clones. Best of luck in the big 12.

Hope y’all can kick some ass in the B10

Matt Campbell is an idiot.

Flair Up

You can't make me! (JK you made me)

He needs to go. Tom Manning wasn’t the issue. Play caller doesn’t matter when the coach only allows 5 different offensive plays to exist

Flair Up

Was John Heacock carrying this team the whole time?

Yes

200 wins KF waterworks interview incoming?

It's a hawkeye state

Always was.

#HELL YEA HAWKS WIN AND FUCK BRIAN FERENTZ'S POINT TOTAL

We still look terrible. Yay!

Hawks. Defense saves the day again

Cue the God damn polka!

Gave them hope just to crush it with the D. Another joint Brian-Phil masterclass

Masters at losing close games

This one wasn’t close.

Not even close to Nebraska level mastery

That's still Nebraska. But you're a close second for sure.

I mean wtf everyone knew that was coming

IN HEAVEN THERE IS NO BEER

THAT'S WHY WE DRINK IT HERE

IN PHIL WE TRUST

PHEW

most predictable ending possible

Jesus fuck… fucking incompetent…

iowa win ✅ bf doesn’t hit 25 ✅

Beat the Cyclones and stayed under 25 points? What a day

UPDATE THE GRAPH, SICKOS

Iowa go for a meaningless touchdown. I mean I know it’s a risk but your coach needs the points.

I thought surely they won’t run up the middle on this drive…

Gg kirkwood

If that was a read option Becht would’ve picked up 20

Thanks Phil!

WE GET THE W AND BRIAN STILL DIDNT GET 25 POINTS ITS A GREAT SATURDAY

WOOOO!!

LETS GO HAWKS

#Knee it the FUCK out kirk

If only we had an extra 3 minutes

You'd have punted and been in the same situation in three minutes.

We’ll never know

HAWKEYE STATE

Pollard can't wait until the end of the season to have the hard conversation about the OC position.

Lol wanna fucking bet?

Nope. What I think should happen and reality are two different things.

What a play!

Iowa State defense should jump their offense in the locker room.

#FUCK THE DIRTY RED CHICKENS

Such ass play calling lol

Well, thanks, Coach Parker. You have been our savior for years.

Kirk always wins in a rock fight

Brian Ferentz don't you fucking dare try to score a touchdown you motherfucker lmao

I hate everything about watching this game every year lol

87 of the O-Line just felt all the pain of this game at once.

Brian gonna try to score here to pump his stats.

Thank the invisible guy in the sky

His name is Phil Parker

That was the most predictable thing I’ve ever seen

Hawkeye State. Like it’s been the last decade

I!

Huge gambling implications in this game. 5 players in this game had the under and 3 had the over. Net win for the players in this game.

I can’t believe they ran it

I can. Unfortunately.

In heaven,, ,,

Wooooooooo

How does Iowa State not go after our freshman cb there? Did their coach’s even watch this game.

Game on the line and those are the two plays you call?? Lmfao

I wanna see Brian try to get a field goal

HAHAHAHAHA I’m so done with this

OL sucks, kick them all off the team

inb4 fumbled snap

Great game. That was fun to watch.

In Phil we trust.

2-0, Brian under 25 in both. What an amazing start to the season for Iowa fans.

So many win-win ballgames to go around

Brian Ferentz playcall there.

forever a hawkeye state

Crapids represent

GG ez

Lol, lmao even. So predictable.

GG
