*** Official #14 IOWA STATE vs Arkansas State Game(Day) Thread ***

Yeah, ironically this is actually going to give us some good tape for the bye week. Assuming we win, this might be more of a useful game than we anticipated.

Giving opponents good tape

We blitz and get burned…

True but I was happy to see something different because been getting burned without blitzing.

Useful to make the players run sprints till they puke, yes

Need to schedule more road games like this JP

Puts hair on your chest!

 

[PGCyclone]

I don’t blame pollard here. But thought hi might want to know we to bowling green in two years.

Don’t forget Tulane in 4 years

 

[StaterCRguy]

Games over. We lose. Terrible effort.

 

[clonedude]

Thank you Pollard

I understand this sentiment.... but if you can't beat Ark State at home... you just flat out aren't good and don't deserve to be even mentioned in the top 25.

This sucks

 

[cyfanbr]

But we saved $4M!!!!!!!!

For real whatever… if you lose to a G5 team even on the road, then that just means you’re not that good of a football team. Guess we could have played at home to keep us all thinking that we are goo, but then still finding out during conference play that we are pretty mid at best.

If you would have told me we’d go 3-1 in our first 4 weeks, I would have been fine with that. Wouldn’t have pegged the loss to be to ark st though.

I feel like I remember someone calling this before the year started

 

[Clonedogg]

They look like the team with the depth, wearing us down.

 

[danvillecyclone]

But we saved $4M!!!!!!!!

Not if you get $ from increasing tickets for the extra game.

Probably works out to $250,000

 

[CYEATHAWK]

Right now.......the only thing that is going to stop Arky St. is.......Arky St. Hope for a turnover or that the offense can score some more in the 4th or this thing is over.

This is becoming like the Drake game where now it's just about escaping with a win. The embarrassment aspect is already locked in for all time when remembering back to this game.

 

[Old87]

This game would be completely different if the Cyclones would have started with their “A” game and built a big lead. Then the coaches could have started with the experiments. Instead the coaches went with the experiments that didn’t work and allowed the home team to get motivated to play harder for longer. Really dumb game plan by the coaches.

 

[helechopper]

Running QBs are our cryptonite.

 

[bosco]

But we saved $4M!!!!!!!!

If you want to compete for B12 titles then you shouldn't have to worry about beating a Sun Belt team on the road.

 

[Arkansas Cyclone]

I don't know how much more of this I can watch. I wasn't expecting a blowout by the Clones but I sure as hell wasn't expecting this.

 

[bluestarcyclone]

I understand this sentiment.... but if you can't beat Ark State at home... you just flat out aren't good and don't deserve to be even mentioned in the top 25.

Teams have off games all the time. A home crowd can pick up teams in those types of games. Acting like it doesn't matter is silly.

 

[CloniesForLife]

At least everyone is probably watching the Georgia vs Tennessee game
