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

[Inthesystem]

Let’s face it - this is exactly the type of game ISU has been playing for years. We are who we are. Let’s go!

 

[CyGuy5]

Didn’t they get a first down on that roughing call anyways, or did he drop it?

 

[Darius Bieber]

Can’t even get to the 20 after a kick to the 5

 

[Thomasrickj]

Absolutely awful blocking on the kickoff return

 

[ianoconnor]

Roughing call was what it was, and that was a terrible call.

But that TD is on Johnson for not picking that off. That was a floating duck like playing 500 in the backyard

In his defense it was such a duck he had to turn his head the opposite direction. Still probably should have been caught.

 

[CoKane]

Gotta get a few first downs here at minimum.

 

[Althetuna]

It most definitely was.

Looked to me like they receiver was headed to the ground prior to any contact being made but the point is moot now.

 

[madguy30]

That he not throw a senseless INT when we had all the momentum.

Sure.

You were asking for benching earlier, correct?

 

[Daserop]

Absolutely awful blocking on the kickoff return

Not surprised.

 

[AllInForISU]

Yeah, because we never saw Purdy do anything dumb in his years here. I totally agree it was a horrible decision, and never should have been thrown.... just don't agree that Purdy is the much better alternative.

From 2018-2021 ISU scored on 91 percent of redzone opportunities. This year ISU has only scored on 78 percent of redzone opportunities. Say what you want about Purdy, but those teams rarely missed out on points once they got into the red zone. Can’t say the same about this Dekkers led team.

fair catch the balls fool , you are not fast enough for returns

 

[CoKane]

Noel, catch the ball

In his defense it was such a duck he had to turn his head the opposite direction. Still probably should have been caught.

When you play defense, it needs to be caught when it’s right in your hands with nobody swatting at it. No excuse and he would tell you the exact same thing. You could see how much he knew that was a big drop.

 

[Thomasrickj]

Three dropped catches for Noel. JFC

 

[cayin]

our guys are horrible, HORRIBLE about not turning their heads when the real estate runs low.

 

[mynameisjonas]

Dekkers is just not very accurate….

 

[ClonesFTW]

How many drops does Noel have now?

 

[bustamoveisu]

This game is unofficially over. Sad part is.....we all know it.

 

[ZRF]

Gotta make that catch.

 

[CYedUp]

Noel wake the fak up
