You won’t get them from Cy tv..bc game never happened. Hoping some fan has the footage..
Really bad for Isu to play iowa with zero game prep. Remember...teams improve most game 1-2.

look out Sooners!!
I found this video of the TD, only thing I've been able to find.
Classic example of the cost of putting 9 men in the box to stop the running game. Jones blew by their DBs like they were stuck in the turf.
Seriously, we’ve been waiting all off season for one of the most anticipated years in ISU football... spring game gets canceled due to weather, then fans showed up in terrible weather, or bought subscriptions to watch on Cyclones.tv and the season opener gets cancelled. Understand they can’t control weather, but can you at least let me rewatch the only 5 mins of Cyclone football we have had since the bowl game?!?! Unbelievable.
Oddly it was a better 5 minutes than ISU has played in many of their first games in previous seasons.
You will find many coaches who disagree with that notion- it has become more myth than fact. This quote came to life in the 80's and 90's when the off season was not what it is today and before the season became more than spread out. Teams CAN improve the most during that week but with the bye week becoming what is has over the past 5 years, I think we can put the week 1 and 2 improvement thing to bed. Teams get much better, yes they do but to say it is when the most improvement comes is now widely disputed.
They got a first down, but ISU forced a punt after maybe 4-6 plays and SDSU might have gotten 15ish total yards? I could be off on some of those numbers though, I had been drinking since 1pm.
On offense, we got forced into a 3rd and long situation but Kempt made a nice pass to Butler for the 1st down. A play or two later is when Jones caught a pass and went 55 yards for the TD. It looked like SDSU was selling out on stopping the run and basically going to make Kempt throw. Kempt obliged and made the 1st series look easy.
Basing this off 4 mins of play, but I think if the game never got called off, ISU woulda won going away. Something like 40ish to 13ish.
Link? It definitely doesn't hurt to have a game under your belt as long as nobody was injured. I doubt many teams go backwards from week 1 to week 2 in their execution. Yes, teams can win in week 1 and lose in week 2, but that's almost always due to playing a much better opponent.
