*** Official #22 IOWA STATE vs Colorado Game(Day) Thread ***

[Darius Bieber]

Ah yes, our next four games are against:

Undefeated BYU
Ranked ASU
TCU in Fort Worth
Kansas whose had our number

We will be 5-6 heading into Stillwater.

The interference happened before the ball was intercepted and while the ball was in the air. No way that flag should have been picked up.

 

[AuH2O]

This is just not how this works at all.

No but the ball still has to be deemed catchable in college to be pass interference. A guy intercepted it 8 yards in front of Brahmer, so clearly not a catchable ball.

 

[rosshm16]

That will find a way to disappoint also. But can’t wait

No way, this is our year!

************ deserves a pay cut after this game. OSU is our best chance at another win and not sure we’ll get that as the wheels could all be off by that game.

i dont think they will spiral, but these 2 games are going to be a big WTF when the season is done.

 

[madguy30]

They get harder.

So all of these folks that think the season's over because there's decent teams left are done watching and posting, right?

 

[GoSTATE71]

Wow is this dumb. I'll stock with ISU until Campbell decides to leave. Then I'm probably done with the whole disgusting world of "college" sports.

Play call on 4th and 1 and then 3rd and 10 tells me everything about this coaching staff - highly incompetent. He’s a decade in and still doing so much dumb ass ****

i am still surprised by that, but should I be?

 

[atlantacyclone]

Let’s at least get one more win?

 

[isucyfan]

This guy needs his Cyclone card revoked.

Unless he's chatting up those coeds, in which case I'll give him a pass.

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

And make sure you donate your whole paycheck to the We Will Collective if you want to continue seeing great football like that from the Cyclones!

 

[demoncore1031]

Campbell will say that. And that theyve got to be better. Really

Yep. And then next game we will see exactly the same thing. Campbell refuses to change anything.

I don’t even think KU is any good, but Leiopold owns Campbell

I'm beginning to come around on getting rid of 3-3 to go to 4-3 instead. Part of the point of 3-3 is to fit in smaller and faster guys... Ours are not faster and it doesn't work nearly as well without speed. Might as well put the 4th DL back out there and make the backside guys jobs simpler.

Our D just doesn't seem to make the big plays needed being down this many dudes. It might be time to re-evaluate who are the best possible 11 guys to put out there now. We definitely give up big plays with such minimal pressure applied now.

 

[bluestarcyclone]

I mean, as bad as the defense looked in moments, despite being gutted by injuries and being put in some awful positions by our kicking situation and offense they held Colorado below their season average.

The offense deserves the vast majority of blame for this loss

 

[madguy30]

I missed both endings...did CU and UC fans both storm the field?

If so that's probably the first time that's happened for ISU.

-Penalties kill a promising start

-Dropped passes right and left at the worst times

-A complete defensive breakdown allows a 70-yard TD

-Officials hand Colorado a gift red-zone turnover when the intended receiver was tackled in the end zone

-Truly head-scratching play calling after that crucial turnover

As someone who’s followed Iowa State football for a long time, this brings back memories

And of course I completely forgot to mention the stupid unsportsmanlike penalty that gave Colorado a short field for their go-ahead TD drive. With all the debris from the disastrous second half, I forgot that very short period where Iowa State led the game in the third quarter.

Colorado got two TDs in the second half, and both were aided by the Cyclones: the defensive brain fart on the opening TD bomb, and the penalty for jawing that got the Buffaloes started at midfield on their drive to take the lead.

The fact that the defender caught the ball, deems it a catchable ball. It doesn’t have to be the targeted wide receiver. The receiver was being held.

Naw, they relish spreading the poo.

4-2-5 would be better. Our LBs flat out suck.
