First play vs. Iowa - Play Action Pass!!!

[We're Comin']

They will never do it, but I think they should line up in read option shotgun, fake the handoff and hit a WR on a 10 yard in.

It will likely be a handoff for a 2 yard gain, but one can dream!

What if the game plan is like it was against Purdue last year. Wide open with either Nelson (more likely) or Leidner winging it?

agree... but it should be a seam route right down the hash to maxx that will end up going for 6 on the safety biting up to try play filler for the read option to take leidner... hawkeyes shell shocked. we jump all over them and the rout is on

Would a first play play action even work? You don't think it wouldn't be expected? It's probably exactly what the coaches are telling their players.

RUTM. First play. No doubt.

R Williams almost broke the first play up the middle against SJSU.

Let's line up in punt formation and do the kick pass like Eastern Kentucky did last week.

I'm still not sure why the punter just didn't throw the ball. The guy would have been open either way.

Hard to run PAP when you haven't set up the run yet......but wait.....they're expecting us to run.... IT'S PERFECT!!

What the heck is that? Isn't that considered a punt (change of possession)? Someone help me out here.

Kick pass is legal as long as the receiver is not beyond the line of scrimmage.
