Biggest Win in ISU History!!!

[isucy86]

Big Plays by BIG TIME PLAYERS.

For much of the game I thought special team issues and bad red-zone production were going to be our demise.

In the end, big time players got it done. On offense it was a team effort lead by Purdy and Hall.

On defense huge plays standout:
- Young's big hit forcing the Longhorn WR to fumble.
- Bailey's 4th down stop of Elinger. While laying on the ground.
- Bankston 2 sacks. Forcing a 57 yard vs. 52 yarder won the game.

GREAT TEAM WIN!!! IMO biggest Cyclone football win (assuming it gets ISU into Big 12 Championship Game).

Let's BEAT WVU!!!!

I also feel like ISU should have been up by 3 TDs entering the 4th quarter so it was that kind of a weird game.

Agree on UT's physicality though. Very athletic and if I were a Horns fand I'd be underwhelmed.

UT fans ARE underwhelmed, read more here: Live Reaction: Texas falls to Iowa State at home - Burnt Orange Nation

Speaking about big time plays, how many yards did Hall have on the cyclones last drive?

If we had a average kicker, we would be undefeated in the conference..

 

[cytor]

Texas still definitely has more size, speed, and talent but not half the heart of this team. That being said, talent gap is as narrow as I've seen.

Agree with this.

This is no joke. WTF was Texas doing w/their play calling in the 4th quarter? Throwing deep while leading deep in the 4th quarter? Run the ball

Wanted to embarrass us. Unfortunately...

He is average or possibly above average.

I was thinking the same thing. What, like 5 minutes left and you run the ball once? I jumped off the coach and yelled thanks coach Herman!

Don't give him ideas, you know coach Herman reads opposing teams' forums for insight.

The heart that defense played with those final two series!! They were clearly gassed and not planning to give up anything.

They had many opportunities to give in, and they didn't!

Blahahahahaha good.

Hey Tommy! You like apples?


How bout them apples????

Oh come on.

I don't think this game as much as the one in Dallas. We've built up to this.

Margins.....whew...we didn't want them, but Texas also didn't take them!

 

[jdoggivjc]

Biggest win, agreed. It made me think of Monte Morris over TX at the Big12 BBall tourney.

Probably helped that somebody posted that video in the game thread.

 

[jdoggivjc]

I started shaking with about 8 minutes to go. I started screaming when the field goal went wide!!

I didn't really scream. I was more like...

 

[Aclone]

Biggest win until the one in two weeks that is. Fixed that whole November nonsense didn't they?

Honestly, it's days like today why I'm tired of hearing about margins. Just go out and win the damn game.

How did ISU win that? I feel like they got outphysicalled all day and Texas seemed to be getting away with holding every play. Let's get weird!

Outphysicalled? Lol. No. We might have gotten out - a lot of things but we were physically superior.
