I mean you literally said “ISU flat out handed them the game.” Seems like you’re trying to play both sides of the coin.
They did hand them the game. Doesn’t mean iowa wasn’t there to take it. In the first 3 quarters, ISU would have done better kneeling 3 times and punting than what they did. A high school offense could have done better by at least not turning the ball over.
Beating ISU also propelled Iowa to #5 so I would say that’s a monumental win. Minnesota win ended up pushing Iowa to the big ten title game which would make it more important.
C'mon. Saying they handed them the game because of things like multiple turnovers and ineffective offense is just weak. Jacobs made a great play to cause the Hall fumble. Our LB made a good play getting his hand up and deflecting the pass, and our other guy made a good play reacting and making the pick. Same thing on the other interceptions. Iowa's D made good plays and caused those things to happen. I'd say the same thing to an Iowa fan saying we gave the game away because of turnovers and sh*tty offense. No, the other team had a lot to do with it.
Credit iowas defense for taking ISU out of their comfort zone. But that game was a gift. When your punter is the mvp, when you go negative yards on a drive and still put points on the board, you were given a gift. You guys need to learn to accept your gift and move on. It’s a hell of a lot better than not getting one. I’m still waiting for Iowa to be as giving as ISU in that department. Zero turnovers since what, 2015? That’s a crazy streak. Congrats to them for coming in laser focused and wanting it more. Until ISU matches their intensity, they have no shot to win this one. It would help if they could actually play a clean game for once or show that they even care about games in September.
Both games were important. I was just saying that Iowa coming into Ames and handling Iowa State like that was the most impressive win out of the rest. It may not have had the most implications but I think beating ISU like that was more impressive than beating both Minnesota and Penn State. Obviously just my opinion though.
I’m thinking probably not. I see people who seem to talk to themselves so I guess that several are still around.
Losing DD would suck, luckily our OL recruiting the past few years has been really good but I was looking forward to him being one of the better guys we'd develop.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I haven’t seen anything confirmed yet, just speculation on the HR boards? Definitely have recruited well there but he’s got a big upside.
I wouldn't say that is a sure thing yet. Could be just rumors. Guy could be injured.
Uh, Davidkov was at practice today in street clothes.
