It was the crew that did the Hutchinson taunting game. I feel they normally suck ass.
Arizona State Matchup
- Thread starter werdnamanhill
- Start date
As ISU fans we should remember that crew.
IIRC, that was the crew that called Breeces TD at WVU a fumble in 2021, and also called X for that taunting call against OSU for looking behind him.
Absolute trash
I think it was a given, seeing how he was on the sideline in a sling. Receivers in slings don't recover in a week..
ASU without top WR Tyson for Big 12 title game
Arizona State's leading receiver, Jordyn Tyson, will not play in Saturday's Big 12 championship game and is out indefinitely with an injury suffered in last Saturday's win over Arizona.www.espn.com
Giving Heacock that info seems to be a mistake.
And you still review the sets on their passing plays regardless.
Sagarin predictor: ISU -1
Massey: ISU -7 (ASU is ranked only 35th in Massey's power rankings)
Team Rankings: ASU -2
Dolphin: ISU -3
Etcetera. Many other computer rankings out there, but the mild consensus is that ISU is a slight favorite.
Actually...Initially it was assumed he would not play because he had entered the transfer portal, but he then announced on X shortly after that he would be playing.
The crew that did the game Saturday is up there with David Alvarez for worst in the conference. I would hope they know better than to assign one of those crews to the title game
Hmm you wonder if that is factoring into Vegas line. ISU has had quite a few timely calls go their way.
Not sure how long you’ve been a fan for, but I think we’re owed more than a few!
Or miss 2 or 3 and nail a game clincher. I still have PTSD from the Baylor game a couple years ago
Didnt they have an on-campus tryout for a kicker earlier in the year? I think I remember reading that story. If true, with as many close games as we play, that is a huge advantage for Iowa State.
Also the crew that caused the Utah Athletic Director to go off this year when they lost late vs. BYU.
With Tyson out, their two starting receivers for Saturday have 291 and 162 yards on the season, respectively. If I am Heacock, I am freaking loading the box early and often to stop Skattebo. If their unproven receivers continually beat our senior corners (Porter and Purchase) that is a giant tip of the cap to them. You have to make them play left handed though. Stop Skattebo and make someone else beat you. Orange and Singleton need to control the line of scrimmage.
Heacock is really good about taking options away on offense. Having one already taken away due to injury helps him tremendously I feel like
ASU fan from Minnesota passing through. Probably a bit more familiar with you guys than most ASU fans.
Tyson's loss is enormous. He's very good. Compares favorably to Brandon Aiyuk at this point in their careers. If he can get over the injury bug (this is his 2nd significant injury, he missed all of last season), he'll be a high NFL draft pick. The other ASU receivers are... alright. They don't get open reliably. There's people that can run by you if the safeties just outright cheat, and Metayer the TE is strong and pretty athletic, but there isn't a ton of juice outside.
ASU is playing on house money. This isn't what would be considered a good ASU roster by old standards, but coming off the NCAA stuff and just having great culture, they're overachieving. We aren't used to that.
I think you guys have a pretty good chance to win unless some guys really step up or you really screw up. The good ASU teams are gonna be in the next 2, 3 years.
I dearly hope we win, but I'd favor you guys by a TD without Tyson. You might roll us if we just can't get open and you sell out to stop the run.
He is certainly a great back. I hope our defensive strategy is to keep our eyes on his waist and submarine him at the ankles. That will certainly limit his yards after contact. He is not very shifty.
He has damn near 50% of ASU’s receiving yardage for the year. It’s a massive loss for them.
