Yeah, really needed a first down that last drive.

 

[CYaeger]

Onto Colorado in San Antonio

 

[dirtyninety]

What is wrong with with our route trees? He has had a lot of time and no one is open?

Rocco is praised for "throwing it away"....but hell, an effort at a 30 yard downfield there is worth it instead of "throwing it away" on a third down....if they pick it, so be it....it's like a punt. Maybe our guy catches it or sells a PI....oh, we don't do that. Just so freaking predictable.

Gotta trust Heacock to adjust

Draw a few things up on the board and maybe do a few drills and they’ll know how to tackle.

He looks pretty pissed off and I'd guess lights them up at half but emphasizing tackling is an August thing, not a CCG thing.

 

[Prone2Clone]

Hats off to skatebo. He is single-handedly winning this game.

 

[GoSTATE71]

Tackling is pathetic. CFP on the line and heacock is dropping 8 into coverage when you know 4 is getting the ball every play

 

[cyfanbr]

**** you offense. Go and try to score before half. I don’t even care.

Defense can’t stop them from having explosive plays, so now we have to rely on a offense that has been average at best all year.

 

[Dgilbertson]

This is cap tip territory. Guy is like facing Montgomery

 

[bustamoveisu]

Well, if we stick with the 3 man rush, we will see the same result cuz a solid QB and RB will slice us and dice us.

 

[Kaner04]

Heacock can’t even fix this. The players are in position. They can’t tackle him

 

[Erik4Cy]

Worst tackling I've seen out of ISU D in a long time. Idk why we don't hold every play on D.

ASU D is doing it so make them call it on us to show how biased the refs have been with that call

 

[cyclonestunners]

I don't understand why we ran a play before the 2 minute warning. Maybe if you like the set they have? But I threw on a 6 man box.

 

[ISU_Guy]

Maybe this moves out out of that god forbid Alamo bowl game now?

 

[Drew0311]

The Skataboo comp is Troy and Darren Davis. Incredible balance and ability to play through contact.

I would say Mike Alsott

 

[Clonefan94]

This is too much like the Kansas game. Huge play after huge play to shorten the field and we don’t even look like we are trying to stop it.

 

[Walden4Prez]

This team won’t lay down in the 2nd half, but the coaches need to help them out a little here.

 

[CY88CE11]

What is the upside to fair catching that?

 

[CycloneSpinning]

Starting to get annoyed. This is PAC 12 athleticism beating Big 12 size/beef…because we aren’t tackling.

 

[Kaner04]

Just pathetic by Heacock today

He can’t tackle for his players

 

[Cymark86]

ASU is getting away with a hold or illegal block at the point of attack on every ******* play

And there it is. It’s not the refs fault to any degree. They are taking advantage of our defensive scheme. And with poor tackling and time management, we are 2 scores down. Nothing more than that.
