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

[CentexCyclone]

Good throwaway

 

[jctisu]

Left side of the line thus far has been the biggest weakness early on. See how it develops.

 

[clonedude]

We brought Kohl in for 3 plays? Was that the plan?

I know…. he shouldn’t have come in at all.

 

[GTO]

We need to quit ******* around and put UNI away.

 

[xboxfever]

68 yards against UNI.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

Three and out , YOY

 

[inCyteful]

Set everything else aside, just the fact that UNI has no return yards is a huge change from last year.

 

[jctisu]

Give me all the dumb ratings you want, but the offense has been concerning thus far

No dumb rating. That’s a spot on take. It’s the ones already punting on the season and that side of the ball.

 

[ClonesFTW]

Offense appears to still suck- I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt for one more game.

 

[t-noah]

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.

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

Too conservative on 1st down. Uni loading line

The play calling so far has looked exactly the same as Manning except for the under center sneak.

We are not good enough to play like we've played the last couple of years. We need to keep the other team guessing. Ir the D is going to stack the box, we need to make 'em pay.

They tried to go deep and mix it up there, with Rocco, but 3 and out also. Don't give up. Keep doing that.

I like Noel, but if he is this year’s Lazard/Butler/Hutchinson, I’m not sure how well that’s gonna work out over the long haul.

Isn't that kid from eku more in that mold?

 

[VoiceOfReason]

Nah. You’re absolutely right. Special Teams and Defense have been an A+, but the offense has been a C- so far.

 

[Cyclones8824]

Higgins?

 

[jctisu]

As opposed to

we can't move the ball against a smaller FCS less talented team but we're winning

"All is well"


---------------------------


Liking the play calling here. Weird. Don't run right up the middle every time and things happen. Weird.

Not a single person thinks the offense is doing well. What they are seeing is it’s no different than last year but our defense is just as good so far and the biggest area of concern, special teams, has done an actual 180 thus far. That’s 2 of 3 units now as opposed to 1 of 3 and one of those actually losing you games.

might be right

best offense on the field at least

 

[xboxfever]

Everything about the offense is the exact same as Manning. Turns out it was Campbell after all when it comes to the offense. Not sure why he got rid of Manning if nothing was going to change.

Shh.

We have (checks notes) a first down. Stop being unrealistic. We're not Georgia.

 

[ClonerJams]

UNI not kicking to Noel anymore

 

[Cloned4Life]

Give me all the dumb ratings you want, but the offense has been concerning thus far

I agree. I guess that’s OK though because we’re in TOTAL control.

 

[FerShizzle]

We could have slow trotted our PR unit on the field there and forced a TO or penalty on UNI.
