*** Official UNI vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

A QB sneak for a TD. Totally different instances of football thus far compared to years past. Great job going for it. Even if you didn’t make it you have them on the 99 and a half yard line. Trust your defense to get it right back or even force a safety.

I like how the refs ran in there a waited as long as humanly ****ing possible to signal a very obvious touchdown.

Hard to tell if the ball carrier is in when the whole pile is in apparently

 

[Acylum]

I see we have remedied our issues inside the 5. Eye roll.

Meet the new O line hype. Same as the old O line hype.

2 holding penalties otherwise perfect quarter.

Becht to Dean reminded me of Purdy to Kolar.

I do get a purdy feel with Becht

Even he was shocked ISU is up 14 in a season opener

Last year that play would have been run out of shotgun and stuffed in the backfield.

Hearing the crowd roar for the sneak before he even crossed the goal line was great lol

 

[Cyclonepride]

I love everything about this start. Defense looks great and more aggressive. Offense looks decisive. Passes are coming out quick. Line of scrimmage is moving downfield. Dare I say, quarterback sneak from under center?

 

[quasistellar]

Also looks like Contreras got at least extra points duty

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

I know it's just the purplehawks, but I like seeing an effective running game by multiple guys. Tells you something about the OL I think.

Better ISU teams than this one have struggled against UNI. Loving effort from all sides of the ball so far.

They wouldn’t have even been in position last year. The punt would have been fair caught and then Manning would have happened and a punt.

Agreed hard to make a real good assessment since it’s early in the first game of the year but offense seems to have a different mindset than last year

 

[CyclonePigskin]

Hmmmmmmm

A pick six, a good punt, a punt return, and a qb sneak.....

Fixed it for you.

That TD is on Jaylin. Great job and nice blocking.

The O is playing OK. Need to mix it up some now. Become a little less predictable. Rocco is playing well though.

Confidence should grow with a 14 point lead. I hope.

 

[Dr.bannedman]

becht has the zoomer hair. he could be good

 

[besserheimerphat]

Defense looking tough so far. Terrific punt, and a good return as well. 2 kickoffs and 2 touch backs. Even with two early holding penalties, the offense is looking ok.

AND ON 4TH AND GOAL WE WENT UNDER CENTER AND SNUCK IT IN FOR A SCORE.

 

[Rabbuk]

Time to see what the best qb in the state has going.

Disagree. I'd like to see us continue to pound the ground game and work out kinks and build confidence in that phase.

Run defense looking suspect early.
