Yep, and he's been playing with it for about a week or so now, so that's not it. https://x.com/iawolves/status/1987336624305545439?t=A84uRKvPsQDkfeuvMxMxFg&s=19

Enrique didn't play last night for Iowa but has been in recent practice videos on Instagram. Hopefully he is OK.

Tough night for the women's team...

I would argue that each time they settled for a 3 point attempt instead of pushing for 7, it gave Kent momentum, not us. The first drive - where we pushed down the field at will and then settled - set the tone for the entire game.

Filling up the stat sheet doesn't matter if you don't execute to finish drives, or when you settle for field goal attempts when your opponent is back on their heels. Certainly wasn't the only reason they lost, though.

No, we all watched that play and the entire game. The only time Moorhead became aggressive was when they got behind and he had to.

Akron had the three possessions below account for 6 total points: - 4th and 1 Kent 11 yard line - 4th and 3 at the Kent 23 yard line - 4th and 2 at the Kent 2 yard line That's inexcusable, gutless football, especially playing at home in a rivalry game with so much on the line. Make all the excuses you want for the guy, but he coached ultra-conservatively, trying not to lose, while Carney coached aggressively and played to win.

I am just not sure how Akron gets over the hump. The academic penalty this year staining any progress made. Moorhead isn't the answer, but it doesn't make financial sense to dump him. Fan interest is low. Any talented underclassmen will almost certainly go portaling, as most would. I just don't see it ever changing for this program.

Just as embarrassing of a loss as you can have. Kent State tried giving you the game and you still couldn't do it. Moorhead just ain't it.

That is one way to immediately give up momentum.

Hpw many times has this stupid wallet commercial run tonight?

Never been more happy to be wrong!

They're going to score a TD and miss the 2.

And Moorhead gifts them great field position immediately.

No timeouts left now. Going to need to get the ball back with some time on the clock to have a chance.

Taking way too long to run a play.

Why not go for 2 there?

Thank goodness we have John Groce and men's basketball.

We can blame officiating all we want but there's no excuse for this game to even be close right now. Moorhead has been overly conservative. Finley throwing dangerous pass after dangerous pass. Stupid mistakes. Just embarrassing.

Twice now they've been deep in Kent State territory and settled for a FG attempt. Just gutless football.

Finley just can't read defenses. He'd have 2 or 3 INTs already against an average defense.

Has Moorhead ever explained why they do this?

Looks like the current deal expires after the 2026-27 school year.

Hell, just protect the rivalry games. There is no reason for Akron-Kent to be played on a Tuesday evening at 7:30 in November. I'm fine with it against literally any other opponent, but this should have been a Saturday noon kickoff. I believe it would have been a decent crowd and generated at least some mild buzz for the program locally. Instead, we will probably get a bit more than last week, which was downright embarrassing.

I think it's important to for us all to remember with a lot of these guys that they are coming from different teams/systems (Ev. Mahaffey, Barre) or are just starting their careers (Er. Mahaffey, Stankovic). For example, I thought Eric and Evan both looked much more comfortable today than they did in the opener. I have a hard time believing that a player who started 1/3 of the games last year at a solid A10 school isn't good enough to even see the floor for us. It was good to see Barre out there and would assume he will play a lot Wednesday. I think we certainly need his size off the bench if we want to reach the goals we all have for this team.
