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

[Acylum]

Pretty easy halftime speech. Offense, you sit over here and stretch while we rip the defense a new one…

We have 10 points.

The missed DPI that was obvious to the world was the entire turning point of the first half. No one will convince me otherwise. Clutch your pearls about people complaining about the officials somewhere else.

It saved us from what....another missed field goal? The offense has done exactly what he hope teams do...eat up meaningless yards and fall apart as soon as the field tightens up.

i am getting major kansas game deja vu

• Team tackling, doesn’t matter if you’re latched onto a shoelace, hold them up until help arrives
• More guys in the box, blitz more often and dare them to pass
• Offense needs to be more aggressive as even adjustments aren’t likely to shut them down
• Need to score 40+ to win this one

Best post in the thread.

It's strange cause Rocco has looked so much better today in general, and yet we only have 10 points.

 

[Spam]

They are treating this like it's the spring game

 

[fsanford]

They're done. With the game over, at least my afternoon just opened up. Good season nevertheless.

They have a pulse albeit a faint one. The first drive of 2nd half will determine if last rights are needed

 

[RagingCloner]

I don’t have the same comeback optimism I’ve had in other games. We look completely outplayed

ASU does not play with the lead well in the second halfs. thats the copium im using

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

It should be at worst a 7 point game right now. Konrardy should be benched. They need to play like there’s two minutes left for the rest of the game. That is all.

 

[NorthCyd]

How can so many posters be calling game at half time? Yeah, they look bad. But have you watched the team this season? How many times we've thought "that's game" and then still won?

Keep the faith!

They can still.win for sure, but that doesn’t excuse the play in the 2nd quarter. That was emasculating.

 

[NoCreativity]

do we honestly think ASU or ISU will stop Penn State or Notre Dame's offenses? Their run games? Maybe the committee has the Big 12 spot on. No defense by either team.

They'll at least put up a better fight with Scattebo than we would have with Sama doing interpretive dance for 2ypc against Penn St or Notre Dame linebackers.

 

[Cyhig]

Obviosuly disappointed at halftime. But in honor of today’s anniversary, a quote comes to mind

“Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”

 

[ClonesFTW]

We just ended the half at the 50 with 3 ******* timeouts in our pockets. Inexcusable.

Love Campbell but it’s no secret clock management is uh, not his expertise.

 

[awd4cy]

Why do we care? Bowls games are meaningless and a waste of time and money.

Very true

 

[Erik4Cy]

Some posters on here owe me an apology for their disagreement to me calling Skattebo the MVP. NO player is more valuable to their team than him. He's done this all year. He is literally worth like +14 to +21 pts per game for ASU. I've watched almost all their games.

Jeanty or Hunter will win the Heisman, and deservedly so. But I'm not talking Heisman. Colorado & Boise would still be solid bowl 7-10 win teams without them.

ASU is absolutely a 3-6 win team without Cam. Skattebo is making our tackle attempts look like a we're a DII school.

 

[Thomasrickj]

We can’t make a single tackle and ASU has figured that out. About a 0.5% chance we come back from this one.

 

[SolterraCyclone]

Arizona State is really good. I’d like them against Notre Dame or Penn Stats if those games weren’t at home

 

[bustamoveisu]

Hey Matt, I see you went to the same camp for clock management. Good times! Sincerely, Matt Eberflus

 

[IcSyU]

How much does Saban have to hate watching our defense try to tackle?

 

[bosco]

At some point you would think pride would kick in.
