Oh, yeah. We went back and forth. On the bright side, this may be one of the best run stuffing D’s we’ve seen in a long time. Of course, we were DARING that fat **** Stanley to pass. Oklahoma will force us to cover more of the field.

OU's QB is quite a bit better than Iowa's! Much tougher game!

ISU ran 7-8 in the box all day. A lot of 4 man fronts. Thought the play of the DBs on Iowa’s WRs was a bigger factor than the front 6-7. They were able to play man most of the day, creating numbers mismatches up front. If Iowa’s WRs are able to be covered one on one by the DBs, it makes it very difficult to execute their zone blocking scheme. Plus, Stanley was often off target yesterday.

Next weeks game could be extremely ugly.

Any game with uber talented OU can get ugly, but I expect our offense to find a lot more room than they did yesterday. Stopping Murray and all of their weapons will be much more difficult than stopping Fat Stanley, but our defense is deep and talented.

Lineman, I think we should have. Think we'll need to Saturday! To keep OU's QB In the pocket.

The defense was the lone bright spot of the game last week and we're going to talk about how we need to change it for next week?

This thread doesn't need to exist.

They played with 3 and 4. Iowa couldn’t beat either, the depth at d line seems to be there this year. It’ll give Heacock a ton of flexibility to do whatever he wants this year.
