*** Official IOWA STATE vs #23 Texas Game(Day) THREAD ***

I watched Mamma Mia the other day and thought... I guess Abba doesn't really suck, or I'm getting old or something.

It's probably a little of both.

Time for our offense to keep the pressure on. Dekkers looks confident.

He does but I strongly feel like something happened. Either CMC had more important or Manning said "take the handcuffs off" or both. Because the route concepts, the play design -

we've not consistently looked like this all year. I think something has changed. IDK what. But yes, we've given Dekkers easy throws and let him run and look how confident he looks early on.

But I do feel like something has happened - one or the other. IDK and I don't care which because we look OK on offense

Silas trying to bulldoze a 300 pound dude on Texas is brutal to see

I don't know what happened in practice but Dekkers seems to have found the confidence back that he lost in the Baylor game

 

[clonedude]

There appears to be a lack of interest by the longhorns. Particularly the QB

They thought they had this game in the bag coming in.

 

[Thomasrickj]

No discipline at the line for Texas. Second first down for us thanks to another offsides!

At least he is going forward.

I like the play calling so far. Good execution as well. I'm impressed.

Looks so different from last couple of games.

Keep it up!!

Exactly, moving the pocket - play calls and designs etc - it all looks different - I just would love to know what happened to cause this change

 

[CoKane]

This Texas team is so undisciplined

 

[LtRaczack]

Thanks for the help Texas D!

They are sure playing like it. The Texas we all know and love

I’ll take these 5 yard gifts

At least he is going forward.

Still wish we'd see some way to get Sanders into the game

 

[clonedude]

Another route a couple yds short of the sticks, but we get bailed out with the offsides thankfully.

 

[Thomasrickj]

Good work by Hutchinson to get that first down!

 

[CyCloned]

Texas going full on Cyclone with stupid penalties at critical points

 

[simply1]

Great execution on that blitz

 

[ianoconnor]

Spot on Dekkers run was a yard short

 

[Darius Bieber]

Ugg now Downing shaken up

 

[DSM4Cy]

My god, how has Dekkers finally learned how to run the read option? Oh, it’s because it’s now actually an option to keep it…
