ISU @ Iowa - Official Game Thread

[Stumpy]

Whenever I see that University of Iowa commercial, all I can think of is:

"University of Iowa - where our students walk diagonally across stairs."

 

[CyFan987]

well im pretty happy about the defense but the offense needs to step it up

 

[LindenCy]

Can someone give me a report on what Bates looked like? His stat line doesn't look good and Arnaud was moving the ball.

 

[PolkCityClone]

Stanzi goes te whole game according to KF this week.

 

[cyclonez7]

If A-Rob or Bates don't run for 50+ yards in the second half, It'll be tough for us to win the game.

 

[ISUFan22]

Bates looked pretty good - just overthrew a wide open receiver for an easy first down, that ended up being an interception.

 

[demoncore1031]

Why would they put Jake in? Stanzi has been playing ok. Biggest mistakes were the pick and overthrowing a wide open receiver.

I think people forget that one, early in the game Iowa had an easy score. Then a key penalty that forced a long FG.

A-Rob has been running well - would like to see a bit more of him, open up the PA pass downfield.

yeah a-rob needs more touches for sure! suprised bates hasnt got to run much

 

[CycloneErik]

Start rotating the running backs and seeing if we can pound the ball? Might be an idea.

Ok, thanks. It is hard to tell from the stat line sometimes. I really need to get to a TV or radio.

On BTN they show these Uof Iowa ads. Did you see the pigs walk with backpacks on campus there? Wow.

Classy. You are everything that is good about the internet. Grow up.

 

[wiscocyclone]

Chizik is pissed at the refs because there is a lot of ******* inside the 20 on the right end of the field. Why can't they clean that up?

 

[akclone]

Agree

 

[ISUFan22]

You're asking a lot in this case.

 

[Angie]

Stanzi has actually overthrown the ball several times...

 

[HandSanitizer]

Are you talking about our last play - that was Bates

Right...I happen to talking to my kid name Austin at the time.

 

[uro cy]

Could we pleeeease just try putting Bates in the game the same time as Arnaud??

 

[isucyfan]

Stanzi has actually overthrown the ball several times...

I agree. He's been just OK. Probably about like Christensen would be.

 

[thunderdave]

Stanzi looks bad!
Plain and simple.
5/12 with 1 pick.
No arguing about his poor performance.

 

[Arkansas Cyclone]

I'd like to see it too but something tells me it's not gonna happen.

 

[cyko42]

I'll take your way. I just like to keep pushing, pushing, and pushing until they break. Maybe that's not really doable yet, which is fine.

Your way will work just fine for me, and this place will explode!

I would rather of ran a play action pass out of a no huddle, of course I don't get paid millions of dollars to be a College coach, I just do it in video games (though I did stay at a holiday Inn express Last Night). But I can at least see the logic in it. We need to figure out how to get a first down on third and short first then hang many many points on those blasted hawks. I think chizik may have seen something that he wants to talk to both the offense and defense about in the looker room. Defense needs to wrap up, offense needs to sustain a drive. And unlike in years pass I think we play a better second half then first in the Chizik era
