*** Official #13 IOWA STATE vs #17 Texas Game(Day) Thread ***

[Cyinthenorth]

Well, our defense has been pretty bad between the 20s. Not loving the decision to punt.

 

[Alswelk]

Yeah that’s it. Absolutely needed to go for it.

 

[Cyclones01]

Let's get a turnover

 

[Dopey]

They have a 500lb DT and we have several 260+lb TEs, yet we force Breece up the middle nearly all game.

 

[tman24]

Can't stand ithat the announcers are rooting for Texas

More than cheering. Practically deep throating.

 

[FerShizzle]

i dont understand why the play clock still runs if the ref is standing over center not letting him snap it. i get letting the defense sub but that seems wrong. we were ready to run a play.

 

[moforisu]

Punter bad all day.

 

[Neptune78]

Rose TO time.

 

[cyclo120]

Yikes, might take some chances when you have a chance to do something historic. Enormous pressure on d, hope we see the ball again....

 

[cycloneworld]

Welp, looks like we laid another egg

Hardly. We’ve had so many chances to control the game. Just haven’t done it.

We don't have any other run plays them up the middle.

We don't have the studs to line up four and cover routes. Defense designed to force a team to do long drives. Only have to stop one third down to get off the field. It will never look great against quality teams, but it keeps us in the game until the end. That is what ISU football is based on. Not going to change.

It's also the reason why we struggle to win big games. We get abused up front.

At some point, you need to disguise some blitzes and mix it up a bit. Giving QBs 5-7 seconds+ is IMPOSSIBLE to cover. You have to change something. Unless you want to keep losing these types of games.

 

[Inthesystem]

Welp, looks like we laid another egg

No matter how this turns out, ISU didn’t lay an egg.

 

[Kaner04]

They just threw the game

 

[ZuriCyclone]

Campbell is still a young coach , insane decision there. Dude please fire Tom at the end of 2021 and rebuild a new offense system.

 

[Christopher C]

This is horrible. Big 12 Champ on the line, you have to be more aggressive. Either way, you have to make a step. Just depends if you are still down 4 or go score and be up 3.

 

[cyatheart]

I love Matt, but that was cowardly

going to take me a long time to forget he had the chance to win the big 12 and close to punt

 

[Run Faster]

?

 

[dirtyninety]

should have gone for it. What are they playing for, a close lose.

Agree....plausible deniability. That "awesome" 3 man rush defense that is so admired worked against Baylor and K-State....can't blame the coaching scheme, right?

 

[khardbored]

Gonna be tough. D has to be really sharp on 1st and 2nd down tackling here.
