RIP Riverboat Kirk...

The attempted 66-yard FG which was blocked and returned for a TD by Penn State was just too much for him.

"Break the rock" will be every play now until Kirk's contract is extended to 2040.

If only Brian had not been removed as OC ... Iowa would never have been in a position to have that FG blocked.

RIP Riverboat Kirk.

The kid can barely hit from 50, so he has to try to hit a line drive from 66. rsdsharp Saturday #1

Forgive my skepticism re: the Iowa offense... xocetaceans Saturday #2

He rushed for 130, on a bad left knee, which I guess is good since he threw for a whopping 68. rsdsharp Saturday #3

Fucking genius, Ferentz. Moulton was chewing up yardage in the second possession, so Ferentz took him out and put in the freshman. Result: Field goal.

Will opponents ever figure out that if the Hawks have the ball inside the 5, Gronowski will keep the ball? Four times if necessary.

...it is unclear how an Iowa QB got the clearance to run the ball this much. Maybe, Riverboat Kirk reanimated as a zombie.

What a surprising turn of events on offense.
