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

[Marcelason78]

Game ball goes to the official who called offensive holding on AK State to take a TD off the board
I know we complain a lot about officials, but we do benefit from calls once in a while. Ok.. rarely. But it does happen!

Agree. And I thought there numerous plays where they could have called our guys for PI.

After the game, CMC had the players off that field fast.

Couldn’t get outta town fast enough.

Today was gutsy. After these last 2 season and getting to know you guys a bit, I'll never not root for ISU. I especially respect that you guys are fair and call it like you see it. That call was ridiculous.

Will be rooting for you the rest of the way. 3-0!

One stuck out with an LB just kind of going into the pile inside and leaving a lane off tackle/C gapish.

Also several just flat out missing coverage on a back or TE that was the only available read.

Like high schoolers playing their first varsity game kind of stuff.

I would guess a couple linebackers are going to have a long couple weeks of practice. I know we have a lot of them, but I think that's the problem, nobody other than Bacon really has stepped up.

I feel like most of our receivers drop that pass…

If Sowell keeps on playing ahead of Brown.... it's only because of one thing.... $$$$. Not giving up on Sowell... but I've always been impressed with Carson Brown.

Last play of the game was a snap from Arkansas State 19 yard line which means . . . . . . .


For the FOURTH straight game, Iowa State ends the game with a kneel down in VICTORY formation inside the opponents red zone!

Don’t need to burn it. There is plenty to learn from. Also, a bazillion backups played this game and need coached up.

I agree, lots of new names that I had to look up because I'd never seen them. Hope they learned from the experience. this clearly had an affect on team play. The investment in new player time hopefully pays off in the future.

 

[Wally86]

There were at least 2 plays where Ebel just... ran past the ball carrier. I have no explanation.

Maybe there was sweat in his eyes and he couldn’t see

 

[enisthemenace]

Can’t play like that ever again.

47 was on the struggle bus today.

I wouldn’t say Bacon played well today.

CMC has some guts to play so many players early in the season, usually pays off later.

ISU football is good for one 'throw back' game or two every season.

It's just kind of part of the deal.

That may have been it.

Bell might have been the only defensive player to have a good game?

 

[RagingCloner]

I didn't think he was that bad, honestly. Most of those deep balls he put into a bucket. The pick was more on Brahmer.

He was not good. Missed some easy throws IMO

 

[AlaCyclone]

Good guys won.
Iowa State will be the only 4-0 FBS team at the end of the day.
Hopefully, there were not too many keyboard injuries today?
Let's Go State!

Hate to see a beautiful fall day in Ames wasted next weekend, but after watching today’s performance this team definitely needs a bye week.

 

[NATEizKING]

And Clemson.

They battled hard in their loss.

You don't need a football game to get wasted.
