***2022 Week 10 CFB Games Thread***

How is it that all of the defensive backs for Iowa are just always in the spot the ball gets overthrown.

Purdue down 14 to Iowa is like being down 30.

Iowa tends to fly around and get there. Their secondary also is usually good at catching the ball.

 

[madguy30]

They aren't that good.... that's the problem. But a LOT of it is luck too.

Catching a football is a skill thing and ISU has been inept in that aspect over time. I can't remember the last real ball hawk for ISU on the back end.

Their defense can slow or stop teams but doesn't create much chaos which is how you create your own luck.

Mertz was 3-11 for 36 yards in the 1st half and Wisc still up 17-0. He has been such a bust - incredible first game or two and then one of the worst starters in the West for the past couple years.

 

[Kaner04]

Purdue. YOU STINK

 

[CyGuy5]

Iowa State would easily be bowl eligible in the Big 10 west. What an absolute joke

 

[JP4CY]

You guys should really switch to aTm Florida. It's an entertaining game.

Let me guess: NW shocks the world today, tOSU runs the table and gets in over 0 or 1 loss TCU because 'b1G fOoTbaLl pLaYs eAcHotHEr'.

We HAVE to make Tech pay for the way they go for it on 4th down on their own 30. Seems it plays into the strength of our team.

The way ISU has looked it might be closer than it seems.

5 losses in a row means you just haven't been very good.

 

[HFCS]

Maybe it’s where they have the mic set up, but it sounds like there are more Tech fans at TCU than TCU. Crazy for an 8-0 team. Looks full, just you can’t tell who the home team is from crowd noise at all on broadcast.

Not just 5 losses in a row, but losses to teams that are not as good as they seemed, including Baylor and Kansas.

In previous years I'd be inclined to agree but this years squad has been straight trash. I'm not willing to throw that stone sitting in this glass house of mediocrity.

Just looked at their schedule. Iowa looking at 7 wins now? 8?

 

[HFCS]

In hindsight KU is the real F up. KSU, OU, Texas are just losses to teams that are better but not way better. Close losses are the expected result.

I challenge people to rewatch Baylor game and tell me Baylor outplayed ISU for any large portion of that game, point it out to me. It was one quarter Baylor actually looked better and ISU was only allowed to play D for two quarters. If real basic defensive play allowed all game, that’s a W even with all the third quarter mistakes.

If you haven't even looked well prepared or sharp, you're not going to do very well vs. most P5 teams.

The KU game is what’s gonna probably keep us from a bowl. Complete domination in everything but the scoreboard.

I don't see how they don't beat Minny, Wisconsin and Nebraska with their punt game and defense.

I keep saying this, but gosh I wish we could have played KU in November instead of when their confidence and hype was on cloud 9. still our own fault thought (offense and ST that is)

Said it before and I’ll say it again, Ryan Day is not that guy

Isn't he 42-4 since he got the job? I get he is expected to win a NC soon. But to say he's not the guy at this point seems a little off the mark. You may be right in a few years but I don't think so at this time.
