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

[Cyclones8824]

They have brought up all the guys Miami has out 1000 times. Feel like they have not said anything about Higgins, Bacon, Willich, Porter, Onyedim, Jackson, Brahmer, etc being out.

 

[HoustonClone]

That last one was chalked up to "congestion downfield" or something similar, can't criticize the brand-name QB after all.

Even the halftime interview of Cristobal was one question.....Cam Ward.

 

[ghyland7]

I'm not sure how we won 10 games with the defense being this bad.

Well, our starting DE, CB, SS, FS, and the entire LB corps is either injured or opting out.

 

[Acylum]

Better than expected. Can’t wait to see the halftime adjustments. Go Clones

Yeah. We’ll suddenly learn how to tackle I bet.

 

[JUKEBOX]

So much better than the Big 12 Champ game. We’re still in this. Time for Heacock to dial up some adjustments and bring it.

We'll see. Maybe something can be done, but I'm not holding out much hope. I would have thought they would have made the "adjustments" prior to ASU in the B12 championship lol

I'm happy we're still in this game miraculously though.

 

[HoustonClone]

Well, our starting DE, CB, SS, FS, and the entire LB corps is either injured or opting out.

Nothing to do with Cam Ward. Non story.

 

[AuH2O]

I think Miami is going to be able to score 100 if they want.
From the eye test they are able to do whatever they want easy. We have to work pretty hard for points so I expect separation to happen shortly

Well, there probably will never be a season where Miami doesn’t have a lot more guys passing the eyeball test than ISU.

 

[simply1]

At this point I’m good with Heacock retiring. Dumb away, guys.

Log off.

 

[HFCS]

I bet Ward sits in the second half and we cruise to a win.

Maybe that field goal lets him win the half? even though they got the ball

 

[BoxsterCy]

Longest first half in the history of football, at least it feels like it.

Clocked in at around an hour and 45 minutes.

 

[t-noah]

Mario Pop Tart Cristobal.

We will overcome his midriff bulge in the 2nd half.

 

[ClubCy]

Well, our starting DE, CB, SS, FS, and the entire LB corps is either injured or opting out.

This is the healthiest our linebackers have been this year to be honest.

Adjustwhats?

Why would they do that??!! It’s like we aren’t even on the field!

 

[Dannynoonan]

I am actually embarrassed this is making its way around social media.

Absolutely embarrassing.

 

[Prone2Clone]

I bet Ward sits in the second half and we cruise to a win.

Yeah, running for his life all half. He doesn't need that with his draft projections. /sarcasm

 

[Clonefan94]

Agreed. Need to blitz and put that ******* on his back.

We did earlier and still didn’t get close to him. Our D is bad right now.

 

[Die4Cy]

I'm not sure how we won 10 games with the defense being this bad.

Well, it wasn't this bad all the time.

But hoo boy with the last two games, it goes beyond injuries. I know people get agitated when we bring it up, but something has definitely turned the wrong way with it.

 

[demoncore1031]

Well, our starting DE, CB, SS, FS, and the entire LB corps is either injured or opting out.

Bacon is the only significant LB missing today. Ellis I guess too, kinda.

Iowa State…king of the five yard cushion

Works every time
