Iowa made the plays they needed, ISU did not. Iowa hardly played a perfect game.Nice article, Iowa had to play a perfect game to beat us, as much as I hate to do it, I tip my hat to them and move on to the next game. That’s the champion mentality we need to have. This team is still pretty young, but the process is working. As frustrating as this game was I’d rather beat Baylor and the rest of the Big 12.
Iowa reminded me of UNI. Near perfect game, scrappy bunch.Nice article, Iowa had to play a perfect game to beat us, as much as I hate to do it, I tip my hat to them and move on to the next game.

Did anybody see the supposed holding call on the 4th down interference play??We kick a game winning field goal without that
Maybe it was some douche ref who wanted too interject himself with a ticky tacky call with the game on the line
Right. Any staff that can reduce that UNI game to needing a fortuitous fumble recovery to avoid disaster, needs to rethink their approach imo. There’s having a thin margin for error, and then there’s manufacturing a thin margin for error. This was basically the UNI game. A little better production than two weeks ago, but a little better opponent.Campbell is right. This loss was on him. We had the better athletes today.

On the replay I saw the right tackle take his man to the ground, I’m guessing that might be what they called. They could have called Iowa for holding on their 3rd and 22 play and I don’t know why they didn’t call targeting on the drive where we started on the 5. Clearly head to head but did they change the rule? I thought for sure it would get whistled by the booth and so did the Iowa fan sitting next to me?
That’s the breaks, oh well.
I like that our defense can keep teams out of the end zone. But the strategy creates a TOP mismatch. Iowa came up with 3rd down completions, whether from 3 yds or 20, all nite. In the few times we blitzed, we almost always disrupted the play.Campbell is right. This loss was on him. We had the better athletes today.

Had some similarities to the UNI game. Defense did its job. Offense moved the ball well most of the game but couldn't execute when it mattered the most.
We'll be fine for the season if we can clean up the mistakes and start finishing off drives, but that one stung.
Yeah, that’s what’s awful about the loss. Really no different than had we lost to UNI because our 4th quarter, 4th down pass been called back on a phantom hold call after a game filled with having the ineffective upper-hand. You’ve got to win these games.Both teams made a few plays here and there but we outplayed Iowa. I was underwhelmed with their performance, honestly. Stats show that too. Two horrific turnovers were the difference.
Sorry to break it to you, but Iowa hardly played a perfect game. Their DBs didnt seem to know what the heck was going on, seems like those kids wont even be playing once they get some guys back from injury.
And thisbteak is NOT pretty young. Games are won on the LOS, and we are as experienced as anyone in those areas.
Doesn't the offensive player still have to be defenseless for the targeting call?
If so, I dont think he was.
I thought it was a hold in real-time before I saw the flag. Sucked, but that is life. ISU shouldn't have been in a 4th and 13 situation. I'm in the "Iowa had to play a near perfect game (no turnovers and few penalties) and barely won" group. Tip my hat and time to move on, beat ULM and jump into Big Xii play with a (2-1) record.Did anybody see the supposed holding call on the 4th down interference play??We kick a game winning field goal without that
