Maybe we just aren't nearly as good as some thought we were.
*** Official #22 IOWA STATE vs Colorado Game(Day) Thread ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
Becht wasn't great...but he had numerous dropped passes by his receivers today too. They had no business losing to this team unless those things happened...and they did.
Don't forget to add "Getting an offensive pre-snap penalty while the defense has 13 guys out there"
feels like this has been a problem since Iowa. Becht hasn’t been good enough the last two games—today especially—but when he makes great passes CATCH THE F******* BALL. think it killed two drives against Iowa, which is kind of when the “Iowa State hasn’t beaten anyone handily” narrative started
I agree there were coaching errors, but it doesn't matter what the coaches call if the players don't execute.
The Rocco shows up to win these games is fading a bit as well. Hope we can finish strong.
After Purdy basically stagnated/regressed in his last 2 years at ISU, people here also said that Purdy would never be an NFL QB. Then Purdy went in found himself somebody who actually knew how to coach QBs...
The game hasn’t even been the worst part of my day. My wife is going back to school and has her final paper due tomorrow for a class. The file got corrupted and won’t open. She has to start completely over. She is on the phone with tech support but they can’t repair the file.
While there are plenty of examples you could legitimately use the "completely unserious" tag, our woes at kicker are not one of them. Few teams carry a backup kicker; nobody carries a 3rd string kicker. We're beyond that point and just using any warm body that can swing his leg forward and get the ball in the air.
As I said, feel free to do that for any other aspect of the game - but you don't get to do that for the backup to the backup to the backup kicker.
A few plays here and ther and this team could be 2-5.
Agree. Ball gets tipped in a different direction against Iowa and a holding isn’t called against Arkansas State and this season looks much much worse
Rocco hasn't played a full game this year outside the South Dakota game. He made some key plays late in games like KSU and Iowa, but if he played well from the start there wouldn't have been a need as those games would have been in hand much earlier. Rocco hasn't been good enough against P4 teams this year, period.
Yeah, we should be 7-0 but we will also be lucky to make a bowl. Even CU didn’t think we were going to punt the ball at the end.
It doesn’t really matter what you e heard of, because that’s how pass interference works.
Was the ball in the air when the contact was made?
If the contact was before, it can be defensive holding. In that case it doesn’t matter if the ball was catchable.
Was the ball catchable by the player being interfered with had that contact not happened?
Both need to be a yes to be pass interference.
That’s true, if we lost some of the games we won this season would be worse. Food for thought.
We lack playmakers. Especially on offense. We have some "nice" pieces but it ends there.
Catastrophic to lose both Noel and Highins. Some of these new guys show flashes sometimes but overall its a very poor WR group.
