*** Official #16 IOWA STATE vs #15 Arizona State Big 12 Championship Game(Day) Thread ***

[demoncore1031]

The D looks soft

It's making my D soft that's for sure.

 

[12191987]

All ISU has to do is consistently execute patient, 15 play drives with high red-zone efficiency and they’ve got this.

 

[Cychl82]

Someone on defense better have a man up conversation right now….with the entire defense this is a really soft defense

 

[dosry5]

Defense extremely soft. This is what happens when you don't teach tackling fundamentals.

No time for that when you’re teaching winning in the margins

 

[Big_Sill]

3rd grade level tackling

 

[exCYtable]

Stay with them first half and Heacock and Co will get it figured out 2nd half. We've seen this all year. We're fine.

 

[Walden4Prez]

We need another solid drive here. Mix it up with Hansen and play action.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Did they even call a pass play on that drive?

Let's get a 75 yard Noel TD to answer.

yeah, I think they had one screen pass to their RB when Skatterboo was on the bench.

 

[Baseline23]

Vegas understood how horrendous Iowa State is against the run.

 

[Remo Gaggi]

The only thing worse is the fatty women from ASU and their shrill screams. They’re killing me here.

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

I believe Skattebo means "wrecking ball" in Norwegian. Or should.

 

[heitclone]

Both of those big plays should have been losses

 

[Walden4Prez]

3rd grade level tackling

I knew you had to wrap up in 3rd grade.

 

[chadw1975]

Why does Skattebo shake his head all the time?

Coke?

I don’t know….we may need to stop the 50 yard plus plays too…..

 

[clonedude]

They are without their ONLY decent WR and so their passing game is nearly not an option at all... and yet they still can just run it right down our throats.... and we also refuse to tackle. Unreal.

I really hope Heacock has some kind of miracle adjustment for this... but right now it's not really even scheme... we just don't know how to tackle.

 

[Dannynoonan]

This is ******* horrible Heacock, not the Heacock Special I was hoping for.
******* horrible. Offense will have score td’s all day.

 

[madguy30]

Scattabo may be hard to tackle. But can we start tackling their other players at least?

Gang tackling and pursuit in all my years as a fan have not been a consistent strong suit for ISU.

 

[cloneclone]

Defense is playing so sloppy. Poor tackling, constantly out of position. I don't know that there's any adjustment that Heacock can make. The players just need to be better

 

[Cupped]

Refs need to flag Skattabo for false start with that neck twitch thing. First time I've seen him play, is he always like that?
