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

I bet we go 3 and out and Arizona State scores again. Sure, I sound like a total pessimist, but this team flat out didn’t show up today.

HOW ARE YOU SO UNPREPARED FOR THIS GAME????

An incompetent OC and a lack of focus on defensive fundamentals

 

[alarson]

We rode it to 10 wins, not sure why you'd stop now.

10 wins while avoiding the other 3 teams tied for first and often making games closer than they should have been.

 

[CySmurf]

Insistence on using Sama over Hansen.

Insistence on having a 50/50 run/pass split regardless of the opponent’s strengths.

Insistence on continuing to go three down linemen.

Insistence of not sending blitz pressure 90% of the time and being ok with said three down linemen getting zero pressure.

This staff needs to be held accountable for not correcting correctable issues.

Who holds them accountable?

 

[Kinch]

When your RB gets 7 yards to set up. 3rd and short, you are going to get beat alot

 

[Nothingman]

Iowa State is losing 31-10. Yes, Taco Bell. It is the 90s.

 

[CoachHines3]

One team was ready. One team wasn’t ready

You decide whose who!

 

[Clonefan94]

It’s literally comical at this point. How ISU has any fans left is beyond me.

 

[CycloneVet]

Come on man. That was a 4-3 Oregon team that lost to Oregon State and Cal. Oregon was both of those 2 teams only win in 2020.

Still had to beat them

 

[cyfanbr]

Getting embarrassed now. Our best season in school history and we are going to get linked like this on our final game? What the ****… Hansen is our future back and we should be looking for a back up for him. Maybe Abu will turn out to be ok, but I’m not willing to take that gamble.

 

[Tpups21]

Seen this movie before. Offense will rally to make it a one score game and give us a sliver of hope in the 4th quarter, only to piss it away.

I’m down bad rn.

That would require getting stops. Seems improbable at this point.

 

[NoCreativity]

Lol, Cooper single handily allowed that 7. Complete incompetent. Imagine if Tyson would have played.

 

[IcSyU]

Cooper has been bad all year…

He's a great "sit back and watch the play develop then react" guy. He is awful in coverage.

 

[Erik4Cy]

We rode it to 10 wins, not sure why you'd stop now.

Because one RB has shown he is better than the other 2 in the rotation.

If anyone thinks Sama or Jackson deserves the same amount of carries per game as Hansen after all we've seen...idk what to tell them.

 

[isuno1fan]

Figure we’d win either Marquette game or this game. Universe won’t let us have both.

 

[madguy30]

Come on man. That was a 4-3 Oregon team that lost to Oregon State and Cal. Oregon was both of those 2 teams only win in 2020.

I didn't say it was against some great team.

The poster asked about when ISU has been dominant in this type of game.

The other three (today, Alamo Bowl, '20 Big 12 title game) that come to mind have similar themes.

 

[AllInForISU]

Cooper has been pretty bad all year. How is he not even close on that pass?

 

[ghettocowboy4cy]

HOW ARE YOU SO UNPREPARED FOR THIS GAME????

Yeah, you know the reality of it is….

 

[Old87]

They are just bigger and stronger than us across the board. Just a total mismatch of talent.

Sad Cyclone noises
