Not much of a surprise there. Need to get a W down at TCU. If that doesn't happen I hope we at least compete for 4 qtrs.

UL will more than likely go undefeated or maybe lose one game the rest of the year.

They are very well coached and totally out schemed our coaching staff. We are not good enough to have starters out and play that terribly on special teams and expect to beat a solid team like UL

Honestly...it real showed that there was no spring practice this year. Way to much rust on offense...coaching and players both!

 

[83cy]

duh of course ISU is not ranked.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Good, honestly. Sad as it may seem, this team plays so much better as the have nots

 

[harimad]

Which idiots gave us votes?

Yeah you could really tell UL wasn’t firing on all cylinders.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.

If you can’t be ranked when the B1G and PAC 12 aren’t even playing.... then you really suck..... and we do really suck.

ULL last ranked in 1943

 

[RoseClone]

The voters just hate Iowa State. Typical.

Is needed?

 

[cstrunk]

Is it really that big of an upset if they are now ranked? Sure, it was an upset. But not that big.

 

[madguy30]

The voters should watch the game and think long and hard if ISU should get votes.

 

[Neptune78]

Not sure I'd have ULL 19th, but good for them.

Did CMC comment postgame on any questions regarding the poor ST play or if it's time to have a ST coordinator?

 

[isutrevman]

No. The end of season computer rankings from last year had them only a couple spots below us. That was pretty close to a toss up game. One teams gets two special teams touchdowns, the other fails on 4th down conversions multiple times and you have yourself a 17 point loss.

 

[Frak]

I actually wasn't all that impressed with them. That high powered offense did nothing outside of one play. I mean, you can't really depend on special teams TDs every week and it's not like they had Devin Hester back there. Poor kick coverage got them 2 TDs...add in some mistakes from ISU and that was enough. They did seem well coached and I liked their DB play. But I thought that our DL was the best unit on the field.

Even if they go undefeated, I think that they'd get worked in a bowl game against an actual good P5 team that is able to get out of it's own way. And I wouldn't count on that HC being around next year.

Polls we should be ranked in:

A) Best team currently playing college football in the state of Iowa (although, Dowling?);
B) Best socially distanced band;
C) Best offense derived from the Tecmo Superbowl play sheet.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

Yeah you could really tell UL wasn’t firing on all cylinders.

They really weren't though. Our defense pretty much shut down their offense, it was our offense that cost us the game. Even with the two special team disasters we were still in that football game. Special teams 100% falls on the staff but offensively things were there for the taking but we couldn't complete a a routine throw. I love Brock but damn he was really really bad on Saturday. Even most of his completions were poor throws. He clearly missed not having his safety valve out there but still...

that's because they kicked our asses up and down the field.

The better team won, plain and simple. Without big improvement at LB and a WR1 emerging (hopefully Kolar can fill that role), we're going to struggle all year. Kolar's abscence obviously exaggerated it but man do we miss Pettway. At this point, it looks like we don't have a WR capable of going and making a play when we need one. Pettway's physicality and route running meant he could always get open for the slant/hitches etc.. that pick up first downs. ULL's DB's just physically dominated our guys. That was probably the most concerning thing long term IMO. We need another playmaker besides Kolar.
