*** Official IOWA STATE vs #21 Iowa Game(Day) Thread ***

[ExCyment]

What in the **** is that play call?!?!?!?

Do you really think that is the play that was called? Seriously you think Mouser said, let's complete a short crossing route. There are progressions and that is what Becht thought was there. He should have thrown it in the dirt to gain one more play.

 

[NWICY]

A doinked FG, why was I not surprised.

 

[CloneLawman]

I'm not convinced Rocco will be a 4 year starter.

He's off today, but show me a QB who was on every game he played.

 

[Malty Flannel]

Bad offense
Bad special teams

A true Matt Campbell special

 

[Jim Walden’s Follies]

Same as it ever was

 

[sunset]

Just checked the coaching staff roster, still no special teams coordinator. I know it hasn’t worked very well for MC so far, but I really feel it’s going to pay off in the long run.

I can’t wait for Kohl to transfer to Iowa and then beat us every single year

Yep Kohl needs to bail out. CMC has some love fest going with Rocco’s pops.

Kirk is remembering that 2002 game.
I hope it happens again!!!

QB Seneca Wallace led one of the greatest comebacks in school history, hitting on 23-of-37 passes and one TD and running for another score as Iowa State won at Iowa 36-31 after trailing 24-7 at the half.

given a gift and can't even cash in.

I think we're officially becoming a poverty program. The NIL/pay-to-play era is hitting ISU right as our conference drops down a level. The one area we can't compete is actually paying the players, and it's killing us.

Do you need to pay someone to be able to snap the ******* ball? How about not call a 3 yard route on 3rd and 7?

Paying players doesn't prevent ISU from having some sort of gameplan.

And execution.

The talent gap is negligible today.

Coaching gap? Huge.

 

[Malty Flannel]

He's off today, but show me a QB who was on every game he played.

Purdy was off every time he played Iowa as well. For some reason the coaches cannot have good QBs mentally prepared for Iowa

 

[RezClone]

Why is Iowa messing around with anything outside Kaleb Johnson off tackle? It's a race to the bottom with stubbornness here. CMC is winning that race.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Chew on his own ass. No creativity or confidence on offense. Just pathetic scheme so far offensively.

**** ya!

 

[NorthCyd]

About as bad as one could expect a half to go. Yet we are only down 2 scores

Feels like we are down 35-0. 13-0 is still doable.

What about this series makes you think we can come back from down 13? It may as well be 35-0.

 

[fsanford]

D has played fine. 13 points included your Offense giving it away 15 yards from your own goal line is fine.

A P4 team should be able to score 7 points in a half

 

[quasistellar]

At some point he needs to care about something. I am told non con doesn’t matter, bowl games don’t matter because focusing on next year. Sorry but he doesn’t win enough conference games for that to be the only focus.

oh and don't forget winning the conference isn't a goal either, apparently.

 

[Cyhig]

I’ll take 13-0 the way we are playing…

I was there in 2002 when I believe Iowa was up 24-7 at half. And it felt just like this game… Iowa just controlled the half. But there’s still 30 minutes to play.

 

[ExCyment]

I'm pleased with the defense. Offense has obviously been awful, but it will come along. Some of you act like our dreams of a national championship are over.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

I’ll take 13-0 the way we are playing…

This is Ferentz ball. He is more than happy to play field position, trade punts and kick field goals. Question is.......................is Matt? I guess will find out if he changes.......or is even capable of changing the game plan. If not.........13 points will more than likely be enough for Iowa.

 

[BoomerClone]

Yeah, we ain’t winning this game.
