00:00 Welcome back to another edition of the Docs Diagnosis presented by Centrist
00:03 Federal Credit Union. Don't forget hit the subscribe button on the YouTube
00:06 channel that way you can get the content that Dr. Rob and I produce the rest of
00:10 this year and right on into 2024. Dr. Rob was at the game on Friday
00:15 and you texted me right away I want the first play of the second
00:19 quarter. Iowa had first down in Nebraska Territory. If you're thinking Iowa and
00:24 you're playing against Iowa you're probably thinking that's a run situation.
00:26 If not they're gonna hit you with a tight end which is exactly what they did.
00:30 It is I mean it's about the most Iowa play ever. Let's hit the tight end on a
00:34 play-action pass and what you're gonna see here you get the play action
00:40 moving here to the left. The line does a nice job of selling it. What ends up
00:45 happening though you've got basically two tight ends here on the play. I'm not
00:53 sure position wise what you got to want to define this guy as. I think he's
00:56 basically a third tight end essentially on the play. Coming up coming on a
01:01 crossing pattern comes up and then cuts deep. Neither of these two guys get
01:09 covered on the play. Now you've got right here these guys stay come in covering
01:17 the run fake and then this is Hill comes rolls back out here both of them stay in
01:24 on Hill on the play. So you've got Hill coming out. You got Hill
01:31 rolling out here run fake going the other way. These guys come in and then
01:37 both of them stay on Hill. I think that's Gabor. These two guys come in and again
01:44 bite hard on the run fake and do not get back out in time to provide coverage on
01:50 the play with the tight ends coming across. But what you're going to end up seeing
01:54 kind of the player I want you to pay attention to is just how wide open these
02:00 two guys are as they come across. This is the guy who's going to get the ball.
02:04 This guy's coming. He kind of comes off and then comes deep. But those two
02:11 guys are both wide open on the play just because of how badly the linebackers
02:16 bite on the run fake right here. Now again if you look at this here's
02:21 these two guys wide open. You've got our linebackers here who've bit and you can
02:27 just look at their body language. They're already sitting here as you look at this
02:32 going oh that's in football that's called an oh shit posture. Well because
02:37 if you really look at it that's the safety right there. So Stelianos
02:42 was the safety. He's wide open and he was going to be open as well. There was
02:45 going to be three options. Honestly he'll had three options on this play to go with but it was
02:51 just how amazingly bad Nebraska's linebackers bit on that run fake. Now I'm
02:56 not sure I'm overly critical of that just because when you look at Iowa
03:02 they're not going yard on you with a deep post route to a wide receiver.
03:07 No they're going to a tight end. They're going to a tight end or it's a running
03:10 play. I mean that's just their offense with or without Brian Ferenc. That's
03:14 what Iowa does. They bit on the run fake. It's kind of what you would expect in
03:21 that down and distance and at that point in the game I would have been thinking
03:25 run all the way as well and Iowa ran the ball fairly well I thought against
03:30 Nebraska's defense. The one thing I didn't expect to see in this game was in
03:35 fact how consistent Iowa controlled the clock, kept getting those first downs. I
03:42 mean they kind of went old school Nebraska against Nebraska in terms of
03:47 how they controlled the clock and ran their offense. Of course that play set up
03:52 Iowa's first score went on to win 13 to 10. We'll play Michigan in the Big Ten
03:57 title game coming up on Saturday. That's another year of the Docs Diagnosis
04:01 presented by Census Federal Credit Union. If you'd like to see plays maybe
