2022 - Week 9 - Northwestern at #4 Iowa

Re: Introduction and Table of Contents

Surprisingly Northwestern looks pretty good... Feed the Lloyd.

They did look good on paper but they didn't get off the bus

Agree with Deuce, NU looks pretty well balanced with no real weak spot on their offense. The only real suspect area on their team is probably the front seven, so might need a return to the old Iowa offense with the ground and pound. I could see Hark getting a good run out in this game to really wear down the Wildcats in a partnership with Larry.

Well you can see now that it didn't turn out how any of us thought it would... Hoping to get a game in soon, this one was played months ago.

Echoing what Deuce and Moose have said, Northwestern looks pretty solid and this should be a good game. Mayhew's having a really good year for his 88 rating and Strong has been very steady running the ball. I think you feed Lloyd, deploy Hark more often and really grind this one out, especially with Malone's recent struggles and Vessel out injured.

Yeah they just couldn't get anything going, it was surprising because I was ready for a great game and it didn't materialize.

Bumping this off the second page. Hope all is well with you, Hellisan.

Thanks bro I appreciate it! Just busy with work is all, it gets to where I can't sit in front of a computer and type things up and if I have any time free I just want to veg. hahahaha.

Hey thanks for the thought and I hope to catch up with some reports soon.

Glad to see this back and with a thrashing of Northwestern! That was a dismantling, looks like they didn't even show up.

Not glad to see Larry Legend go down with another injury. From a storyline standpoint though, this is a nice twist because it could force Kenard Goodman to finally live up to his rating, and also puts more of an emphasis on the rest of the offense with the Malone/Harkless rotation at QB. Defense will have to put together more performances like this to help navigate these waters without Lloyd.

Great to see you back, and a big win vs. the Wildcats to boot! Completely dominant performance against what looked like a really solid team.

Great to see a update, but sad to see Larry go down. Goodman and Becton should be able to help at least establish a run game but nobody is as good as "Feed Me" Lloyd.

Somebody needs to tell Larry that it's tough to be a Legend if you're on the shelf all of the time.

Although Larry is the best of the bunch, we will hopefully be able to make do with the mashup of those guys you mentioned and maybe even trot out former ATH Nikolai Vessel (WR with great running skills) to play there in a couple of sets. His ability to catch the ball out of the backfield and essentially be CMC light would be a nice look.

You're right, they really didn't show up, they had drops ending drives at least twice, the QB was just struggling to do anything right (we dropped a couple of picks as usual), and it was just bad all around.

Big win for sure, and looking to get back out on the field soon I hope.

You're right, we'll miss that big play ability. As for stringing together first downs I still think we can do that. Maurice Brown is another option to go in there and while he doesn't seem to have the breakaway ability of Larry "Joey Chestnut" Lloyd, (hahahaha) he is another option with speed.

Somebody needs to tell Larry that it's tough to be a Legend if you're on the shelf all of the time.

Yeah man true that! I was so bummed when he popped again in my preseason injury rolls.

Good to see this back, longest running dynasty at this point isn't it?

Thank you sir I appreciate that!

Thanks young22 I appreciate that a lot.

Hmmmm. May be. I know there are some insanely long lived dynasty reports in other sporting games but this may be the longest going NCAA 14 chise, I don't know. I never even thought about that one before. I'm still so angry at the various levers of power that took this game away but in the end it was a blessing for me personally. There are some years I'm positive I never would have even been able to pick up the game much less play it or report a chise, and instead was able to keep playing this dynasty which has given me a lot of joy for sure.

It's amazing to still see you out here, Helli, going strong. Just wanted to check in and tell you I'm still reading, even if I don't reply much, gotta support the dudes who've been here forever.

Re: The Career of J.D. Clark (NCAA 14)

Love what you have accomplished here! I just caught up and was happy to see Larry and now I am just sad again. Keep up the great work!

Re: The Career of J.D. Clark (NCAA 14)

It's been well over a year... Been at times too busy to do anything and then with my daughter getting into quite a few games that I'm interested in, I usually play with her when I do have time for some gaming. But seasons change and I hope to (if slowly) get this chise moving again. For now just bumping so I can find it. Hope y'all are well.

Re: The Career of J.D. Clark (NCAA 14)

Hope you're doing well also, Hellisan! Looking forward to seeing this back when you have the time.
