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

[ghettocowboy4cy]

Yeah you know the reality of it is_____ insert some CMC metaphor here for not making adjustments all season after half.

 

[HFCS]

Geez. Not every play is a penalty.

Take it up with Walters/Heft who were in disbelief too. It was a blown call clearly, they had him held down by the arms.

It’s a road game, it happens.

 

[RagingCloner]

Dom Orange transferring? Haven't seen him

He’s been out there for a majority of snaps

 

[helechopper]

Funny we have 10 wins, but this isn’t the best ISU football team in our history.

 

[ghettocowboy4cy]

We should just bowl games outside the playoffs to Flag football

Nobody would watch.

 

[DSM4Cy]

Over.

Bowl losses to Washington State and Clemson. Embarrassing losses to Notre Dame and Memphis.

Bowl wins over Memphis and Oregon*.

*a 4-2 team during the COVID season

It’s a trend.

 

[Malone]

Thank goodness we have Vontroy Malone signed up

 

[Clonefan94]

i love how Heacock, the genius’ answer to Skattebo running all over us is to change nothing on our Do’s running D. I understand we have a lot of guys out, but when QB2 came in, time to sell out.

 

[ClubCy]

Our defense looks so undersized. Campbell really needs to hit the portal and get us some defense and yes I know we are banged up but seriously if these are the backups, we are in trouble next year also

Well we should have done that a month ago since the portal closes today. I guess we will see what happens in the spring.

 

[AuH2O]

Are we still in the "Heacock is seeing what they want to do, then will adjust" phase?

Jesus, is anybody actually watching the game? ISU is playing guys that just aren’t P4 athletes right now. You’re not going to stop any legitimate P4 teams, and there’s not a damn thing any coach is going to do about it.

There are two different trends

The one you refer to

And the one that is out of our control due to affordability of roster/talent discrepancy

 

[BoxsterCy]

Our injury depleted defense is getting torched by the nation #1 offense and all we get this thread is people demeaning the guys and the coach.

 

[Acylum]

Funny we have 10 wins, but this isn’t the best ISU football team in our history.

Far, far from it.

 

[ClubCy]

Our guys are at a huge disadvantage athletically on defense. It’s honestly shocking how a D1 team could be this slow and weak

Remember recruiting rankings do not matter (is what I am told)

 

[heitclone]

Just getting big boy'd the rest of the night.

 

[exCYtable]

Two top 10 recruiting classes. I say this team is as good or probably better than any on the schedule this year. That being said, adjustments needed defensively. I think next defensive series you will see some.

Next series? Warren Sapp isn't coming off that bench.

LOLOLOL. Heft and Walter’s were your source?

 

[Clones2023]

This isn’t even fun. We need to grab about 20 more players in the portal on defense and hope that a couple turn out alright.

 

[Walden4Prez]

They don’t anymore….its all $$$

 

[cyclonespiker33]

Targeting on Miami by the second guy coming in on the long run
