Starting point is 00:01:09 Today we are going to go through and relive it once again, the heartbreaking loss against Oregon, 1816, the Hawkeyes fall, some of the big plays in that one and really want to dive deep into what we saw on the field during the fourth quarter and what went wrong. And some second guessing,
Starting point is 00:01:25 definitely that comes out of that. We're also going to get the grades from pro football focus and how the Hawkeyes graded out on this one and see if that matches up with what we see. Got a little basketball talking. Boy, we got to talk about the duck fans. Oregon, yeah, they're a different breed.
Starting point is 00:01:41 We're going to get into that a little bit later on. But let's go through and the second watch of the game, as you found out if you watched in our everyday or certainly did, our instant reaction podcast. A big thank you to all of you for checking in after got back to Des Moines after being in Iowa City before the day. and rain soaked, dried off, ready to go, and it's still stung. And you can still hear my voice here on Monday.
Starting point is 00:02:06 It still is feeling it. It was loud. It was exciting. It was not as miserable as I thought it was going to be with the weather, but the final moments definitely were. It was a game that was right there. It was there with a big opportunity. And I know that leads to a lot of frustration with a lot of fans.
Starting point is 00:02:27 the woulda shoulda, not being able to get over the hump. The 0-12 now run 12 consecutive losses against ranked teams. And it just feels so different this season. The three losses that they've had this year, tied against Iowa State, lead against Indiana, lead against Oregon. And you go through it, you second guess so many of those different moments and just how close it was and how Iowa with the bounce here or there can be in completely different position,
Starting point is 00:02:55 even if one of those games would have went. the other way, what that would have meant for them to get into the college football playoff and to continue to change this narrative of Iowa football that have become a bit, but a bit of a bit of a punching bag. I know, Iowa, because of the ineptitude of the offense and the way that it cratered late in the Brian Farrant's era, it became from this hard-nosed team. They're a little bit boring sometimes offensively, but you know you're going to get, and it became a joke.
Starting point is 00:03:24 You had the drive for 325 and trying to get up to average. 25 points per game, a bar that he couldn't clear in his final season. You had quarterback play as poor as anything that we've seen, setting records, the bad records, in Big Ten play. And that's what we had. And though things have improved, and then we see the run games improvement that they made, it's still there.
Starting point is 00:03:47 I mean, the punch lines are there. But a win against an Oregon or in Indiana definitely would have changed things and a playoff bid, what you hope would end in at minimum, a good showing in a playoff game, again, can change those kind of narratives. And when you look to the future of the program, those are things that are going to happen. Because as you look around in the wide receiver group, certainly is not one of the strengths of this team.
Starting point is 00:04:12 The tight end position with the injury that they had to add us in a strangle this year, came into the season already with some questions. And we saw a little bit out of DJ Vonamy, and he definitely is somebody, I think you're excited, side about the future, but the tight end position is not nearly what it once was. And because of that, you're looking around and with these narratives that are out there and I'm sure the negative recruiting that goes along with it, you're left saying, well, if you are a past catcher, why are you going to go to Iowa?
Starting point is 00:04:40 Well, these are the things that can help change that. And you just can't get over the hump. And he can't get over the hump for a myriad of different reasons. Look, Oregon, credit to them. I mean, that team showed up and they played bully ball. and they went right there and they went right at Iowa and Iowa didn't have an answer. The tackling was poor and the tackling looked
Starting point is 00:04:59 much like some of the tackling that we saw earlier this season when Iowa was struggling so much on the defensive side of the football and struggling with just that tackling. And that showed up once again. You have that component to it, 261 yards rushing. And I don't think many people believed that that was going to happen against this Iowa team, even though we warned you that these running backs are going to run hard
Starting point is 00:05:22 and they definitely did that throughout the course of this game and that offensive line played really well and when we'll get to the numbers a little bit later on from pro football focus you're left saying yes it didn't show up in a big time way that defensive line with a lot of veterans up front I didn't get it.
Starting point is 00:05:40 What to go to a couple of other components? You know, Kabari Moulton, he ran hard, had that big run on the fourth quarter drive that gave Iowa the lead his longest of the day of 13-yarder, there just wasn't a whole lot there. And you can see the game plan for Iowa and what Tim Lester thought that they were going to be able to get. And that was doing short-side sweeps, going outside, going to the weak side, going to that toss play. And that was the avenue that they thought they have an advantage.
Starting point is 00:06:11 There just wasn't a whole lot there. There just wasn't. That offensive line did not play at the level that we've anticipated throughout the course of this year. And this was a banged up Oregon team. and Iowa struggled to run the football more effectively than I thought they were coming into this one. But still, Kamari Moulton, credit to him. That dude ran hard. And though there wasn't a whole lot of room for him, he keeps chucking along and having a solid season.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Maybe not a breakout season, but a solid season. So I want to go to that final drive. About him being behind the defense on the fourth and three call, an absolute beauty. As Vander Z sat in the middle of the zone there, Jacob Gill opened up a little bit, a room for him and they got the first down on that play and then you go in i don't want to go to the third and goal play so they hit the two minute warning third and goal from the one i'll pass out to hayden large as the tight end showed up out as well as they have all season long in this game and get that play get down inside the two yard line he got a third and goal two minute timeout and the
Starting point is 00:07:14 decision to go with the pop pass or the jump pass it looked like what they're setting up for Grinowski. Now, it got blown up in the middle, and Gradosky, even if there was a receiver back there, I don't know if he would have been able to get a good pass off. I mean, you see the throw to the back of the end zone and nobody's there. But even if somebody was wide open, I don't know if he was going to be able to get enough on that just because the way the play blew up. But here's the other component, which is so crazy because you got two wide receivers on each end. You're two big wide receivers. You got Dayton and Howard out one side. You got Reese Vander Z on the other. So you got a that two receivers, both guys, six, four, six, five, good size on both of those guys on the outside.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Neither of them went out for the pass. Tight head, maybe it's a tight end that's supposed to leak out. Nobody went out. And I anticipate, and when we have Kirk Farrant's press conference on Tuesday, maybe we'll get a little bit more insight. Was that a play that was like a check play? Grinowski, you know, hollers a signal, and maybe nobody heard it because nobody was. went out for the pass. It felt like they were looking for a check for something.
Starting point is 00:08:22 That if they got a certain look from the Oregon defense that they were going to do that play and nobody else read it the same way or Garnowski, they didn't hear his, whatever it was, it was just such an odd play. But on top of it, you run that play. Of course, you're hoping to get a touchdown, but because of the incompletion, the clock stops. And you heard on the broadcast as a rewatching the game on CBS that they mentioned that. you figure you run the ball there, you don't get it, then you go to more of an RPO look
Starting point is 00:08:52 or more of a run option look for Mark Grinowski on fourth down, but you run it there at minimum, Oregon's got to use the timeout. If not, clock runs intercepting the ball with, you know, a minute 20, minute 25, something like that on the clock on that fourth down play. The fourth down play, though, was a thing of beauty. And speaking of dumb coaching decisions, what Oregon was doing defensively there, which is absolutely mind-boggling. I mean, you got Mark Grinowski.
Starting point is 00:09:17 who's double figures in rushing touchdowns this year. You spread everybody out. It's Grinowski alone in the backfield. You got five receivers out there. And you have three defensive linemen and just one linebacker in the middle. It's a simple numbers game. And Dunker able to just get enough to push the defensive end into the linebacker there. Easy touchdown.
Starting point is 00:09:38 I would take the lead 151 to go. And here we go. And then, of course, the final drive. And I believe I mentioned this on the Rapid Reaction podcast. I thought it was a really, really smart thing by Oregon to run on first down just to keep eye on their heels a little bit. They ran up one more time before they got down there on the, was a third one play where they got the first down on it. Another component, so everyone talks about, of course, the big play up the right side. And Benson makes a great play, an incredible throw by Dante Moore.
Starting point is 00:10:09 I mean, by far, the best throw of the day came on that one, just absolutely dropped it in the bucket. and T.J. Hall, you could argue. Turn your head, come on. Even if he turns his head, I don't think he sees the ball. His arm, I mean, his arm is up higher another two inches. Balls deflected away. He was right there. They made a play.
Starting point is 00:10:29 But the other play that they made, they threw a play on second down, I want to say it was. Yeah, second down. And it was blatant offensive pass interference. We're not going to call that there. And we're going to get to these Oregon fans that are widening and complaining about referees. Good God. We'll get to those smooth-brain morons here in just a little bit. But they set it up, they take a shot in the end zone, too.
Starting point is 00:10:53 I mean, that just shows you they're built a little bit different than an Oregon than the way that Kurt Fares plays a football game, and then the game winner on the field goal. The kickoff, you know, obviously they're not going to kick into Wheaton. We know that and didn't get the opportunity there, bounces off the face mask and game over. But some second-guessing still make a play, and it comes down to that. This is not the same of getting absolutely drilled in a Big Ten championship game against Michigan. This is not the non-competitive nature that Iowa had done during many of these rank losses.
Starting point is 00:11:30 They're right there. They're so close. And that's a frustrating part too. And I get that part for many of us, the frustrations of how close they have been. but if you think this is the same of what we've seen before, I got news for you. It's not. It's a good football team.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Got beep by a better football team. We continue here, locked on Hawkeyes, and we got a few other things we need to jump into. The grades from pro football focus like to do this each and every week. We go through, see if those numbers match up with what we saw on the field. And, of course, what is next for this Iowa football team? What is that going to be? We'll talk about the grades from pro football focus when we come back.
Starting point is 00:12:09 This is Locked on Hawkeyes. College football is here, and we couldn't be more excited for it. The tailgates, yes, even in the cold, they're great. The rivalries, energy in the stands. There's nothing like it, but let's be real. Actually, getting tickets can feel more like a battle than the game itself. Endless cues, hidden fees, prices jumping at checkout. That's why I use game time.
Starting point is 00:12:33 It's the app that gives the advantage back to fans. It's the easiest way to score last minute tickets at the best price. with no surprise fees. What you see is what you pay. I know a lot of people are heading out to the Coliseum this week to watch the Hawkeyes take on USC, or maybe it is the finale at Kiddick Stadium when Michigan State comes to town for senior day. Whatever it is, they got great deals for you on the GameTime app, open it up, and you can find college football games out there with great prices.
Starting point is 00:13:02 It's cheaper, faster, and less stressful than any other way that I bought tickets, and they could get great ones for you.

Starting point is 00:13:36 Thanks for being with us and making Lockdown Hawkeyes. your first listen every day. All right, let's take a peek here at the ball game and the numbers from Pro Football Focus. Starting with the snap count, a lot of Reese Van der Z and Dayton Howard, the big receivers in the game, 43 snaps for Vander Z,
Starting point is 00:13:54 34 for Dayton Howard, 33 for Gill. Wichin did play 18 snaps and 19 out of Sam Phillips. And as always, I'd like to see a little bit more Sam Phillips out there. Seth Anderson, not on the field in this one. at the tight end position. I think another interesting one.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Hayden Large played 48 snaps, 44 for Boname, and Ortworth with just four snaps in the football game. The offensive line, the starters went though distance. Logan Jones, Jennings Dunker, Boe Stevens, Kate Piper and Trevor Loughke, all of them. I played all the snaps in the game. And finally, of course, Grinowski went the distance as well. Kamari Moulton, he played a majority of the game.
Starting point is 00:14:30 39 snaps for him, 14 for Xavier Williams, and four for Jazzyon Patterson. maybe I would have liked to see a little bit more from jazz. Let's get into the grades offensively here from pro football focus and start with Mark Grinowski. It was ugly early on for Grinowski, as we know, not exactly a thing of beauty, but late he was good and making the plays. He grades out with a 69.3 past grade, good, 66.3 at a run gain of 64.9. I thought maybe we'd see a little bit more Grinowski in the run game, alas, that was not the case. there. Jazzy on Patterson does grade out as the number one running back with a 68.7 grade,
Starting point is 00:15:12 solid grade for Camarie Moulton with that 63.6. McNeil just one snap for him and Xavier Williams with a 56. At the wide receiver position, all three okay. Gil, 64, 63 for Phillips, also a 63 grade for Vander Z. A little bit lower for Dayton Howard. He was at 54 and then Weegean with a 45.2. Of course, He also had the fumble in the game that loomed incredibly large. On the offensive line, Bo Stevens, he had an excellent game. A 90.8 grade by far the best on the offense for him. And 80 for Logan Jones. Trevor Lout continues to play at a high level, a 77, Jettings Dunker down a little bit.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Still a 68. Cade Piper was the lowest graded out of the guys and also the lowest graded in the run blocking game offensively. So that's a look at the offense. Let's jump over now. to the defense start with the snap counts out there and they relied a lot on their veterans Aaron Graves the most snaps on the defensive line 56 snaps in the game 46 were both Herkitt and Llewellyn 39 for Jonah Pace I thought he played pretty good we'll see that those numbers Mary Hawthorne played 21 snaps 13 for both Brian Allen and Maryweather both those guys came
Starting point is 00:16:28 into the game together a couple of different times they're just something about it I'd like to see either Herkid or Welling, stay in the game. One of those guys come in, maybe rotate a little bit differently there. And Pittman also played four snaps. Both Carson Shire and Jade Montgomery, they played all the snaps in the game when they went four three. Rex Roth, he played 26 snaps in the game. And then of the defensive backfield, 59 for Lutnamur, and then basically go in the distance
Starting point is 00:16:53 as well with Enterner, 58 snaps. T.J. Hull with 58, and Wampa with 58. Also 33 snaps for Deshaun Lee. So let's take a look at the way. that they graded out from pro football focus on the defensive side of the football and start with that D line. Not great numbers. And when you get gash for 261 yards, you anticipate that's probably going to be the case.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Also some really bad tackle numbers in this one. Next, Max Llewellyn, he was the top graded defensive lineman with a 64, still his tackle grade, a 47. Brian Allen second, his tackle grade, a 23. Maryweather didn't even have a tackle grade. Herkett. He had the best of the bunch, him and Jonah Pace. And Jonah Pace, as I mentioned, liked what he did out there. Not great run grade overall against the run. His tackle grade, though, was a little bit better. And there's Aaron Graves down at a 45.8. Bryce Hawthorne,
Starting point is 00:17:48 also in the middle, down at a 38.3. Not very good for what we're growing accustomed to at the defensive line spot. Carson Shire is your top guy in the linebacker spot of 69.8 for him. Then the jump down to Montgomery, still solid, a 61.8 grade. Finally, the defensive backfield, a 71.7 overall for Xavier Wampa. Tackle grade, a 60 and a half. That is okay. Deshawn Lee, who had the interception in the game, he grades out with the 68.6. Up next, Zach Lutmer, not a very good tackle grade for Lutmer.
Starting point is 00:18:23 He was a 41 tackle grade and a 64 overall. Etrigger with a 50.7 tackle grade. I think that says something, too, just didn't play the way we'd seen over the last month. Let's go through and you just look at those numbers, and you can see why, again, 261. Now, I did see that there was a grade that was handed out to the long snapper, the BC transfer, and I think it was like a 27.4. I just read that. I can't remember off exactly what it was, but I think that's what it was and seemed high.
Starting point is 00:18:57 again, snapping issues throughout the course of the year in special teams. Just not what we're used to even in a day where you get a 58-yarder time Tim Douglas for a long. That's what you have. And also tying a Kinnick Stadium record that was set a couple years ago by Michigan State kicker. A lot there matches up with a lot we saw. I want to say one final thing. And, of course, we're going to start to get ready for USC. We do have to turn the page.
Starting point is 00:19:28 We do have a few other things before we turn that page. But I'll tell you, this USC game. And every day, you heard me all throughout the summer, I thought this was going to be one of their most difficult games, if not their most difficult game. And it's because of the woes on the West Coast. It's because USC, the way they play, the tempo that they play at, the way they throw the ball around.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Aba is a tremendous quarterback. They got a group of great receivers. I didn't like the matchup. And yet, after the way things finished up Saturday at night, after the loss to Oregon, I have a renewed sense of hope for this game. I have, and it's crazy to say, we're hope that they can actually pull this off. I think it goes hand at hand also with what we saw Friday night against Northwestern. And what we've seen at different times against USC.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Look, their win against Michigan, they were the more physical team, which is crazy against Michigan. Because they have one course to win football games. And they've done it that way against Notre Dame. They were physical at times in that football game. But then you see the other one. And Northwestern's gashing him during the first half of that one. They have a turnover. Looks like their defense alignment's going to run in for a touchdown.
Starting point is 00:20:53 He gets it poked out at the one yard line. rolls through the end zone and leads to a touchback. USC gets the ball back. And Northwestern was there, hanging around. I think Iowa can hang around. And I think Iowa, if they can get it to be that physical type of game, they can win with physicality.
Starting point is 00:21:11 We'll see. We'll see exactly where this team is mentally after this one. The hope of a college football playoff berth is off the table. But a little bit more hope going into this matchup against USC that I have since, basically the schedule came out coming back a little more football Oregon fans we dealt with it last week with the by week the extra buildup that was there the just idiotic nature of how they
Starting point is 00:21:40 took Phil Parker's comments shows you maybe this fan base not the sharpest knife in the drawer got some comments for you maybe he's going to take it to another level we talk Oregon fans and Maybe. Do we have a new rival? Well, probably not. We got enough of those. But somebody that bothers us, and we definitely got that. That's when we come back, locked on Hawkeyes.

Starting point is 00:23:00 Trent Conn, back with you one final time on the Lockdown Hawkeyes podcast. Thanks for making Lockdown Hawkeyes your first listen every day. Make sure you hit subscribe if you're watching us on YouTube or a five-star review. Looking for more of those over on the podcast side. All that helps us get in front of more Hawkeye fans. As we wrap things up, I got to throw out some comments. some Oregon fans. This fan base is hella mad about the officiating in the game.
Starting point is 00:23:28 I don't get it. It's confounding. Our boy Spencer over in Locked on Ducks. He sent a text that I didn't respond to because it was dumb, saying outside of the officials, blah, blah, blah. Come on. This fan base, and I get it. They're new.
Starting point is 00:23:48 They got a lot of bandwagon fans. You know, like we make fun of the Michigan Wall, Walmart fans, right? Never stepped foot in the state of Michigan, yet they're Wolverine fans. I grew up with a bunch of them. They're idiots. And I know there's this new age of Oregon fan too that it's all about the uniforms. They're not actually fans. They're not from Oregon. They didn't go to the university. They just picked a team that had cool uniforms. So I get that. You're going to get some nuts when that's the case. But some of the comments after this one, like this one, I was trash talking all week. When? I
Starting point is 00:24:22 Iowa didn't talk trash at all. That's dumb. But the moment Oregon players give it back to you, you play victim. Not to mention the crowd was throwing trash and bottles at the players. They were. When they sprinted the opposite direction for their locker room, they sprinted to the other end zone and started hooting and hollering and flipping Iowa fans off. What do you expect?
Starting point is 00:24:43 Oh, this would never happen at Austin. You're wrong. You're absolutely wrong. But alas. Let's see what else. because there's more. You're the 11th straight road broadcaster to think you had a chance. Get in line, bro.
Starting point is 00:24:59 I would didn't have a chance again. Smooth brain idiots. The plethora of horrible calls and non-calls by the reffing crew, all going Iowa's way, kept this game closer than it would have been, with even semi-competent refing. Well, I saw Sam Phillips get grabbed on his way up the sideline, very well going in for a touchdown. Saw that one wasn't called.
Starting point is 00:25:21 mentioned the offensive pass interference on the second and last play before the kick for Oregon. That wasn't called. The Cade Whigieg call, we still have anything definitive that shows that he didn't have control of the football, as was called on the field. And yes, Dan Lanning had to use a timeout. That was a mistake. But come on. There is even more than that. If you think that this was tremendously one-sided, we got plenty of tape that we can go back and show you different ones.
Starting point is 00:25:51 It continues. This fan base, it's absolutely incredible the way that they see things. How about this one? Great, quick, excuse me, great game between us. Kid it rocks, but tell your D.C. to pipe down next time. Too much talking. Again, we had this conversation. We talked about it, and it goes on and on and on.
