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

[Cupped]

2:46 left in the half and the 1st punt by either team.

 

[madguy30]

That was huge. Big drive now before the half.

Imo it's successful if they just drain some clock and don't let ASU get the ball back even with no points.

Obviously points are cool too.

 

[Thomasrickj]

Got our work cut out for us. Please murder the sun devils here before the half.

 

[FerShizzle]

Not even bothering with the FG I see

They don’t really have a kicker. 30 yards out is about as far out as they will attempt one.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Hell yes. The power of getting jobbed by the refs is underrated. They hate you, they don’t want you to win, they know you’re better. Let’s go.

 

[Walden4Prez]

Need points.

 

[Clonefan94]

Nice stop D

 

[12191987]

Nice! I was worried the 4th and 23 fake punt TD would essentially salt the game away for ASU.

Get a first down or two and see where we’re at

 

[NorthCyd]

Score a ******* TD. We should be able to run a 2 minute offense on these *******.

 

[madguy30]

This feels a lot like the '18 Alamo Bowl for similar reasons.

 

[Rabbuk]

sigh.

 

[heitclone]

Just need some points here and the a TD drive after half.

 

[Walden4Prez]

Not an ideal call there Mouser

 

[Die4Cy]

Leavitt missing that blitz read will at least give him something to think about. It's been way too easy so far.

 

[HFCS]

Why would we not immediately throw to Higgins after the fixed PI call?

 

[Darius Bieber]

Big 3rd down coming up

 

[Thomasrickj]

Great! Lets run for no gain and then throw a 3 yard pass with two minutes left in the half. This is a recipe to drive it 90 yards in less than 3 minutes!

 

[stewart092284]

Even the refs couldn't take that away from us.

It was pass interference... but our defense has been more runny than my bowels after a bottle of jack and a night out at Taco Bell and white castle.

We've looked slow and soft defensively for 30 minutes. That's not on refs.

We haven’t been able to block a sweep all year, why start now?
