Looked like he was juggling a bit but maybe hard to overturn the call.

That was an interception maybe pick 6 by King

Looked like Kraft was open. Did he trip or pass just inaccurate?

Budgett got burned.

Too much time for qb.

North Dakota giving Nebraska all they can handle. 7-0 Nebraska with 3 minutes to go first half.

Hastings threw to d lineman and fortunately he dropped it.

Why pass on 3 and 1? This cost points. Stupid. 2 runs.

Good o-line protection. And nice drive.

Is stadium as empty as it looks on TV?

Hastings a bit off and hot to Gilliam over middle. Was hoping for another first down.

Kind of missing whelan already. No kick into end zone.

I’m pretty-game canned interview Hawkins said Dixon has good legs and mobility. If so, I don’t understand why he isn’t starting because he also has a bigger arm. Seems like a very conservative game manager type (Hastings) preference for opener. But at some point you need somewhat of a playmaker.

Absolutely. Iowa punter is very good and limited SDSU offense has put them in a perpetual hole. Countless false starts too.

whoever makes next score (if anyone can) wins.

SDSU has had several injuries in this game. Also a targeting.

Baseball score just in from Iowa City.
Iowa 5
SDSU 3
Gronowski injured.

Both my in-laws were Iowans (Des Moines). I couldn’t imagine them booing - but don’t know that they were that much into football - I know my mother in law (Valpo grad) was not.

Morowski attended Marin Catholic as I am sure you know. I was on baseball team with him at UCD. He played - I didn’t for the most part :-).

We’ll the further east and south you go, the more of a religion college football is. The “funny” (sort of) thing is that they have a new “tradition” (sounds like an oxymoron) of waving to the kids in the childrens hospital behind the stadium at the end of the first quarter. So smiles and goodwill for that moment to pivoting to boo your own team. I guess they mentally partition things/behavior.

Iowa - South Dakota State 3-3 at half

Total offense (yards) at half
SDSU 76
Iowa. 58
Old school Midwest game or what?
Iowa leaves field to a chorus of boos.

Chris Peterson a Fox Sports analyst says lowa strategy is good defense and special teams and don’t mess it up on offense. Well so far iowa is messing up offense.

SDSU MVP of first half - Iowa QB. Iowas fans booing own team. Iowa up 3-0 with 4:35 to go 1st half. Jacks have ball on Iowa 38 after interception. Issue is that Jacks have shown 0 offense against tough iowa defense

SDSU hanging with Iowa. Pretty much no offense by either team - but a lot of Midwest pounding defense. Only points an iowa field goal simply due to field position advantage due to iowa punting.

Two offense starters (including Kraft) dinged up.
