*** Official #22 IOWA STATE vs Utah Game(Day) Thread ***

[Spartanantler]

It’s time to accept that Matt won’t take us to the promised land. He’s like Kirk some good years maybe a average one but never gets us to the next step

 

[NorthCyd]

We can only **** up subbing one more time this half. Will it end up costing us yards?

 

[Acylum]

Stop subbing late

Margins though.

 

[RezClone]

OK, what the hell is the rule on defensive substitution? JFC this drives me nuts.

The rule is they're allowed to F*** you when you do it.

So the obvious answer is DONT DO IT.

Sweet Caroline..

 

[CyGuy5]

Mouser what are you doing

 

[CentexCyclone]

Getting Texas Tech vibes from this game this far: Utah can’t win it, but the Cyclones can lose it

 

[JP4CY]

Gotta use the ignore feature on these game day threads. Some of these posters are just ridiculous.

There are posters who I guarantee have called a loss 5 times so far this year. When we win a game, crickets.

 

[madguy30]

How long does it take to get your play call in for a run up the middle?

That wasn't the issue.

Utah subbed late. The ref held it up.

 

[Darius Bieber]

Use a timeout to lose yardage, nice

 

[cymac2408]

They need to fix the slow sub. You've got 5 seconds or something

That is on us. If I was on defense I would do the same.

 

[ClonesFTW]

Did anyone have a doubt we would run up the gut for a loss there?

 

[2speedy1]

Why can’t our coaching staff take advantage of it?

They have. Just not as much as it is used against us.

 

[Walden4Prez]

There’s the no gain on 1st down play we also love

 

[stewart092284]

I don't HATE the play call. Makes more sense to run it to the field but I like moving the pocket. That part I like.

But good god. That throw was awful.

Rocco's done some great things in his time at Iowa State. But my word, I can't remember another college QB having so many pick 6's in two years. Like, some of its just plain dumb luck but that's what, 3 this year? Well, 2 but counting the second one against UCF since it was for all intents a pick 6.

That's literally the one place you can't put that ball. Hopefully he and the team can bounce back, I was starting to think we looked OK and then, well, moving on. Hopefully we can get a drive and draw even or score another TD

 

[FerShizzle]

sigh

 

[ghettocowboy4cy]

We must establish the run even if it costs us the game!

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Moberly will be the starter

No way in hell. We Will is going to have to pay up again to keep Rocco in Ames another season

 

[RezClone]

We also have to lead the conference in runs that have ZERO chance of going anywhere.

 

[KidSilverhair]

Its not us. Its the stupid rule where if we sub we have to let them sub, and they just take their time.

Its stupid and needs to be fixed.

If we sub late, though … and we must be … that gives the defense the opportunity to slow-walk their substitution and runout the play clock.

Get our offensive subs out there with 15 seconds left, and you won’t have a problem (most likely - the officials aren’t going to give the defense forever)
