*** Official #16 IOWA STATE vs #15 Arizona State Big 12 Championship Game(Day) Thread ***

It’s literally comical at this point. How ISU has any fans left is beyond me.

I question my commitment to watching this team every year and every year I come back for more.

Insistence on using Sama over Hansen.

Insistence on having a 50/50 run/pass split regardless of the opponent’s strengths.

Insistence on continuing to go three down linemen.

Insistence of not sending blitz pressure 90% of the time and being ok with said three down linemen getting zero pressure.

This staff needs to be held accountable for not correcting correctable issues.

These things happen every single game and Campbell does nothing to fix these issues. He could be an elite coach and we could hang with any team in the country if our stubborn coach addressed these issues.

Defense was probably going to get worked today no matter what. The fact that the offense has enabled it from the second half onwards is what I really find unacceptable. We had ASU's D on the ropes early; now they seem to have it figured out.

 

[quasistellar]

It's nice that we could contribute to ASU's great storyline this year though. Seems to be something ISU does regularly.

 

[Tre4ISU]

I don't think a scheme change on defense is coming fellas.

Well it might be. Today isn’t a scheme issue. It’s a tackling issue that’s been there all year. We ask our linebackers to tackle a lot so when we have ones who can’t tackle it’s an issue

 

[enisthemenace]

Well, ****. I just don’t see how this turns around. Even if we score a TD every possession the rest of the way.

 

[CascadiaClone]

That would require getting stops. Seems improbable at this point.

I agree, but could have said the same thing in the KU game.

 

[Kinch]

They are on a 24-0 run.

 

[Clonefan32]

It’s basketball season

 

[Cyclonepride]

At this point, I don’t want to see another called run unless it’s 2nd & 3 or 3rd or 4th & 1. Not enough time for long drives

 

[Gunnerclone]

Sama is getting the most NIL money in the athletic department. That's why he's still getting carries.

DONATE NOW!

 

[67CY]

Is it to early to call this a major ass kicking?

 

[t-noah]

Ain't over till it's over! Need to score here though. Then will need at least 1 TO.

The D will have to make stops of course.

Next possession: INT.
Whelp!

 

[BigJCy]

Game should probably be closer than it is but ASU is just better. Playing without their probably 2nd best player too.

 

[Big_Sill]

We’ve sucked all year, found a way to win many times.

This is embarrassing

3rd grade level for everyone.

 

[Cyburbbalz]

Getting completely out coached by a new guy. Embarrassing!! Players aren't ready which is on the coach. We were running good then went away from it now too late have to pass and with receivers being grabbed and pushed it'll be really difficult.

 

[dirtyninety]

Hassell and Williams saying Leavitt wasn’t a mobile quarterback. Hilarious. Looks like ******* Johnny Manzel

....and our qb takes a slide, giving up at least 5 yards in the most passive, victimized way on an otherwise good scramble. Have our coaches not seen how many yards we have left on the table from these referees these games?!?! Can Rocco see that? He's coached to do that. How many "throw aways" has he had? He's over-coached to do that too. I mean, outside of Iowa State, most recievers have a cover within 5 yards.... I just think more of a warrior attitude would have benefited this game today....

 

[CySmurf]

Sometimes the other team just has a better day. The things we were afraid of in this game from ASU has come to fruition.

 

[bustamoveisu]

When your RB gets 7 yards to set up. 3rd and short, you are going to get beat alot

And he's running backwards gaining 5 yds.

 

[Freebird]

Mouser won’t be fired and nothing will change until he does. Terrible hire. He is not ready to be OC. Should have gone outside the program. We will get the same pedestrian crap next year.
