How the hell did we get transported to 2003-era McCarney tackling?

He's hard to bring down. Has one of the best yards after contact in the country.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Ah the annual football chest pass throw competition. Should have to throw a football the correct way.

That game and this are nothing alike. ISU would have a chance with doing little things better.

Stanford was going to win that game by 4 TDs 10/10 times.

CMC ran 18 times for 172 yards in the game.

Scataboo ran 10 times for 140 yards in the first half.

I was being a little tongue-in-cheek, but if the offense wasn’t playing really well this could have been a blowout.

 

[Nolaeer]

good luck in second half. As a huge Big 12 fan who has watched almost every game, i wouldnt bet a 100 bucks on ASU winning, even up 14.

You have becht, and I recall the 2nd halfs ISu had against WVU, Baylor and more. Unlike kansas and texas tech, ASU doesnt have an eilte passing game. load the box, and just let rocco win it.

Then run something else. I don't know. Trying something when you're down 2 TDs in a title game is better than pushing it to the 50 and just giving up

72% chance Rocco gets sacked on the final play, with ASU rushing just 3 guys. Still should have trued the hail Mary though

You have to put up with it. It’s going to happen. Stubbornness, not being prepared in non-con and bowl games, but going to bowl games regularly. It would be awesome if he could fix his flaws, which don’t seem too difficult to fix, but he won’t. Take it or leave it.

Right. Except when you're presented with a once every five year, at best, opportunity, it would be nice to look more competent. Plus, going to bowl games is becoming less relevant.

We have two choices for the pissed off energy- 1) keep drinking whiskey and probably have bad things happen 2) do chores around the house to make someone else feel happy.

FIFY

 

[cyclonestunners]

It wasn't grounding.

But it was ineligible downfield.

 

[67CY]

Hope Cyclones learn how to tackle for the bowl game

 

[Die4Cy]

I don't always like things on CF but when I do, I hope it's not something Bieber likes also.

Whiskey it is!

The offense is playing really well?

 

[Marcelason78]

The Skatabooo pass and the missed PI call in the end zone were two big plays that went against us. Other than that, we just don’t have the best player on the field in the first half.

 

[Drew0311]

Some guy called Yo-Yo for the halftime show.

Hope u are joking and know that is Ne yo. Who is a pretty big artist

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

Still feels like ISU wastes too many downs by trying to run the ball.

We’ve been running the ball really effectively. The dumb part about the last possession is that we’ve been running effectively between the tackles and our first play was a sweep that took five seconds to develop

 

[jdoggivjc]

For the Heacock lovers: why does everyone love a guy that runs a 3 man front against teams with outstanding running games? It doesn’t work and he doesn’t make adjustments. ASU only got better as the game went on because Heacock is too stubborn to change anything.

because Heacock has actually called a really good first half today? Even Saban and Howard complemented him on his ability to put his players in position to make the play... the players just haven't made the play. Heacock can't tackle Skaterboo for his defense too.

 

[cyclonestunners]

It seems like we don't find ways to get Noel the ball down the field anymore. He has 1 catch today.

Yeah... the highlight vodeo at end of first half showed alot of downfield bombs... not seeing much of that.

 

[CyGuy5]

If we go 3 and out to start the half this game is over. Huge kick to the nuts for anyone that traveled to Dallas

 

[Remo Gaggi]

Gonna toss a pop tart in the toaster when I get home. Not sure I want to waste more money to go to Orlando
