*** Official #18 IOWA STATE vs #13 Miami Pop-Tarts Bowl Game(Day) Thread ***

[clone1990]

Sure is hard to look forward to bowl games.

 

[bosco]

**** it bring 11 on the rush.

 

[cayin]

We really are great at almost sacking the QB.

Unbelievable we couldn’t make that sack. A free shot

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

Can't finish on blitzs and can't cover anyone.

 

[Drew0311]

It’s crazy that college football players are this bad at tackling and covering . Have not seen a defense this bad since Jim Walden was coaching

 

[ISU_Guy]

Our defense sucks so badly. Good thing Miami’s defense is also horrible.

The difference is they have ward. I still think we loose big. Our defense is just terrible. Like non existent

 

[ExCyment]

We need better linebackers, i was hoping with the break a few would get healthy.

 

[Dgilbertson]

Both teams have Bo Jackson?

Think he meant if you Zig zag and you can’t get tackled.

 

[Thomasrickj]

If Heacock doesn’t make a change after this season, I don’t think he ever will

This 3-5 needs to stop. It’s been figured out by every team that plays us.

 

[SpringCreekCY]

Walden defensive stats…my word.

 

[bustamoveisu]

Defense Report Card so far:

Tackling = F
Speed = F
Scheme = F
Pursuit = F
Nastiness = F

It can only get better.....

 

[AlaCyclone]

They also look nothing like iowa state unis

I agree with that (I prefer cardinal and gold), but that is not the point. The point is that the uniforms have NOTHING to do with the Hawkeyes.

 

[Erik4Cy]

Our secondary tackles like Deion Sanders did

 

[cycloneworld]

Remember when we had a top 10 defense....
Good times

All of the people saying the Big 12 gets no respect - this is the #1 ranked defense in the conference.

They also look nothing like iowa state unis

This team also wins nothing like all those other teams your used to watching all those years. ‍

If better players is the change then yes

 

[Thomasrickj]

*lose

 

[BlitzkriegCy]

We need to work on tackling… all off-season!

 

[ISUAlum2002]

If Heacock doesn’t make a change after this season, I don’t think he ever will

Yeah, he needs to get out there and demonstrate to his guys how to tackle.

It's just injuries. (jimlad)
