*** Official #8 Oklahoma State vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) THREAD ***

[t-noah]

Wow, 9 overtime win for Illinois over Penn State. Longest game in history??

 

[CapnCy]

I feel we will need a turnover or something to flip this game...their D is playing great

 

[CYEATHAWK]

I always look forward to the summer and talk of our vastly improved O line.

What.......9 yards rushing? Okie State is good but come on.

 

[cyatheart]

Offensive game plan is a joke, just so much wrong offensively it’s hard to even talk about.

defensively that play in the end zone should never happen

really disappointing performance so far

Where might you be going with this.

I just opened a big bottle of an 11% stout. It’s the only way I’ll be able to watch the rest of this game with the way that it’s going.

Oh I’m already half in the bag. Time for you to join us.

No one is open

For the same reason ISU can't run WR screens or just loft it up but someone will still post 'Why doesn't ISU do that!?' when seeing another team do it.

That said Noel had a little something there on that little flip out to him and might have something going later.

Tom Manning is the least creative OC in the country.

@Thomasrickj you have inspired me. Time to start cracking open some craft beers

 

[CySmurf]

Sean Shaw Jr...that dropped pass man...
Nothing went right after that dropped pass. Got to be better.

True, very disappointing.

They’ve started a new rule where after so many (maybe two or three?) it just straight goes to two point conversations. So at worst, each overtime is only two total plays.

And receivers.

I can't beat that. I did just finish my 1st beer. KC Bier "Dunkel", great!!! On to another, then better 2nd half?

The Mike McCarthy of college football

What would you do differently with the players that ISU has?

I'll give you the drop but how automatic is Shaw?

 

[ZRF]

9 net yards rushing in the first half. Really sucks not being able to run the ball; frees up defenders to double cover our best receivers.

Its not that we cant run the ball, its WHY we cant run the ball. OSU has a stout line and we often only have our 5 down linemen as true blockers. Manning is compounding it by calling an inordinate number of plays in bunch like formations, allowing OSU to have a large number of players close to the box at the line, making it easy for them to defend the run.

 

[CySmurf]

Fresh or Soph Purdy might have run for that. But O-State D is good. Got to find ways around it.

OSU defense is keeping him in the pocket. Our wide receivers have man to man coverage and can't get separation. Their linebackers/corners are doubling Kolar...
...we have to be able to run the football.

 

[CentexCyclone]

Can any receiver get separation?

Not when we're getting 9 yards rushing in the half: too many DB's on the field.
