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

[awd4cy]

Honestly, what did you guys expect? We are down like 4 great starters on defense with out a fg kicker. It’s better for a team to just end us now. We will give ASU and BYU all we can at home but I don’t expect us to win. It is what it is.

Expected the offense to show up

I expected to not get our ass kicked. Honestly.

Running clock in the second half?

Wasn't there a blowout college game earlier where both coaches agreed to at stop it early? This could be another.

Rocco get the same stomach flu he got a few years ago in Ohio??? How throws are off.

He’s had his A game twice this year. B game against K-State, C game against Iowa and then whatever this is today is worse

 

[BigLame]

Sama & the WRs only ones so far appearing to have some juice in their steps. Let's hope it's contagious. Need the game to be a shootout now, so let's get it on (& score a F TD this drive!!)

CBs not out of position on any of those running plays.

That’s my point, Safeties are going be caught out of position sometimes helping on the backend versus LBs last year. Hence they are running it well, Safeties can’t cheat downhill.

 

[Drew0311]

If we can keep running Abu and heacock can figure this offense out, it’s still early. For the record I have no faith any of that happens

 

[madguy30]

Not ready to play the 1st quarter. Maybe they'll show up for the 2nd.

Cincinnati was really, really sharp out of the gates too.

 

[Cyched]

I’m old enough to remember bad ISU teams jumping a good opponent, then pissing the game away.

Are we that good opponent now? Let’s see.

 

[CYphyllis]

Getting their **** tossed by a program that belongs in CUSA is not what I expected out of this group, but hey, **** happens I guess.

 

[Walden4Prez]

Not scared of the Brewers at all.

This team needs to be scared of everyone with thr offensive output, or should I say lack there of. I advocate for camo jerseys so the batters can’t see the runners on base.

 

[Cyclonepride]

The zero for the offense is a bigger concern than the 17 for the defense. We need a big game out of them and that support might settle the defense

 

[bradcyclone]

Basketball season here we come!

Maybe, but hope Tamin Lipsey gets healthy!

I understand but with no defense, offense wasn’t going to win us this game.

 

[BigLame]

Safeties weren't out of position covering for the CBs. LBs & Safeties were out of position covering their normal fits. Interior LBs were in the wash the whole 1st quarter. Worst quarter they've played this season.

 

[HouClone]

I thought Heacock said they were going back to basics this year. Could have fooled me. Looks like Memphis, Texas Tech, WVU, ASU all over again.

 

[simply1]

Alright, now let’s get a stop.

 

[CyGuy5]

Glad we learned we should try QB run when Corleone is out of the game

 

[Big_Sill]

Maybe we come back, but if not at least I learned about Alien Power today.
