UNREAL: Nearly unnoticed BLUNDER sums up Iowa Football's MISMANAGED loss vs. Iowa State for Cy-Hawk

[Music] the timeouts that Kirk took at the end of the first half in when I was on offense when hay large got that uh the fullback SL tight end carry on the third and short and he got the first down there were two timeouts that Iowa took on uh right after that play and then after the second down run that went for basically no gain I think and I remember the CBS announcers got confused because they thought Iowa state had called the timeouts because they were trying because it would make sense because Iowa needs time on their last possession but yet Iowa was using them and then gave Iowa State time for that last possession to even happen now it didn't matter because obviously the kicker DED the field goal so it didn't matter at the end of the day but that last possession should have had very little time at all for Iowa State on that final possession at the end of the first half that was one really bad error I thought by Iowa out with some time still on the playl yeah exactly 100% agree with you caller I didn't realize that I thought it was I thought Iowa State called those timeouts I actually made the comment to someone I was listening to watching the game with I said that's a good call if you're Iowa State because Iowa's at the goal line they can take their time here with a minute to go and you know so for Iowa to call a timeout makes no sense at all I thought it was Iowa State and I double checked the play byplay as it was happening because I know Chad Lysa appointed it out on Twitter saying Iowa called the timeout and he and he confirmed it as well so real quick just run through the people realize what we're talking about y Iowa gets down minute 35 to go don they run hay and large for two yards for a first down by the way people don't really clock stops in college on first downs minute 33 first and 10 at the ISU 3 Don okay timeout Iowa doesn't make sense because but first off if we were about to run out of time before we run out downs we can take a Timeout on second and third down yeah if you're going to call a timeout in that situation like from a schematic standpoint then you would let some time run off the clock first because calling a timeout in that situation with a minute half is actually helping Iowa State but that's not what they were doing they were CLE time that was actually taken early hold on they were trying yes they had the first down with Hayden large with a minute 35 and they called the timeout with a minute 33 right then with a minute 30 Kade mamir pass incomplete second goal at the at the three lesea Williams runs no gain timeout Iowa with a minute 21 to go on Third and goal exactly we're ly didn't we're lucky it didn't bite us at the end of the half because were in several range right who is giving who is giving the advice to the head coach on going for two on calling timeouts I have been complaining about game and clock management with this program for years and it does not get better Don I would say this uh at Yukon Bob Dio was our head coach you know former player I gave Bobby his first job at Western Illinois and he told me he said you're my assistant head coach and I want you anytime anytime there's any issue at all with the clock you're the guy that's going to tell me when to take the time outs because I know I can trust you to Crunch the numbers better than anybody else we never had any issues with clock management the year after I retired they got fired in large part because they blew it against Navy it was a horrible clock management thing at the end of the end of the half end of the game and they ended up getting fired over it and frankly they deserve to get fired because they basically shot themselves in the foot I what I don't understand like I understand the controversial stuff the 50-50 stuff whatever like I'm just gonna be like okay they disagree with me fine some of them are indefensible though I'm trying to yeah I'm trying to figure out how this is defensible I'm trying to figure out why third and goal at the Iowa State three with a minute 21 even if you run a pass play with one on the clock you still have like 30 seconds left in the half for fourth down why were you calling a timeout and that's just stupid there's another way to it's a stupid it's stupid I don't know how else to describe that and I'll just say this like I iosa has not exactly been a great program under Matt Campbell in the sense of winning one possession games and Matt Campbell had his own clock management issues for sure but Kirk I mean honestly Iowa just hand gifted him that that possession at the end of the half they frankly just I'm glad you called in because I didn't like I say I'm pretty sure CBS said that Iowa State called the timeouts I they did to start yes they did yeah exactly they just assumed that was stop the car exactly even people who were controlling CBS cast knew that there's no way a reasonable offense would call the timeout in that situation that is incredible that is incredible ability to screw something up late in a half that is incredible and I tell you what I'm not there each and every week but there are times there are there are times during the season where I wish I could be there for press conferences because that's something that I think has to be asked you you've got to ask the head coach why why let me run through these plays coach why are you explain the logic to me I just want someone to explain it to me I'm not asking you a gotcha I'm not asking you a gotcha question I just want you to explain the logic behind your behavior that's all I want just explain the logic oh my goodness anyways anything else call no that was pretty much it thank you guys and appreciate me on appreciate the phone call ah good stuff Jim uh Hawkeye marching bad dominated the Cyclone band today Don I think somebody earlier today I'm I'm kind of taking this comment and going to something else someone earlier today said they looked for me to they wanted to see me lose it and I think it took four hours but I've lost fin did I figured out a way to lose it okay I appreciate that calling that's it you know Don you know me well enough to know those are the things that drive me absolutely nuts right because they're preventable wow I I'm just I am in awe when you look at the fight my go back and watch that Don I know you will go back and watch it tell me that's not incredible
