*** Official IOWA STATE vs #23 Texas Game(Day) THREAD ***

[LtRaczack]

ISU could also make plays.

It has been a well called offense this game to be fair. But you have to wonder about the intangible effects from the previous play calling patterns rearing its ugly head today against execution.

 

[ZRF]

How was that not a flag for tackling OB?

Think we need to roll with 4 lineman more often than not as we aren't getting pressure and Bijan is easily getting to the 2nd level. I also think we need to get some snaps with Anderson and McD on the field at the same time.

Jaylin Noel for some reason is immune from getting pulled? Let a punt roll he should have caught, terrible kick return, one or two drops. Let’s see Greg Gaines or anyone else.

Yup after his punt returns and drops there’s no reason not to let Gaines see more snaps

Is Gaines good?

 

[Snydes]

Lets Goooooooo! Much better half than i expected from the offense. Make some good D adjustments and clean up the mistakes and we can get this (and put an to end the announcers Texas love fest).

 

[NoCreativity]

Campbell need to fire this pathetic OC. This game is over. We should have gone 2 score lead. Pathetic.

It's his fault Dekkers threw into triple coverage in the end zone instead of getting 3 points? Or probably his fault our defensive back cant a simple interception.

Manning sucks but hes hardly the problem today.

It's just like clockwork. I bet teams are disappointed when ISU doesn't give up a touchdown with less than a minute in the half.

 

[Cardinal and Gold]

Are we sure we are even playing in this game? I've only heard about Texas the entire broadcast. It's a bit ridiculous, even for ESPN/ABC.

I love ripping on Manning, but will agree with you. The problem is not Manning thus far today.

 

[Darius Bieber]

Live betting odds haven’t changed much even being down 7 at half.

 

[Cyclonefan710]

Correct.... I said that exact thing... all QB's make bad plays every week. But you only rip on Dekkers for it? Strange.

I honestly feel like that INT by Dekkers probably cost us this game... it was terrible. I just can't understand all the people that act like Purdy never did this stuff too. He did.

Purdy had some bad turnover but he was money in the red zone.

 

[HFCS]

Our hope is the D regroups at half and Texas ego works on them at half. Not sure our offense can really play a ton better other than the int.

 

[CY88CE11]

First drive of the second half decides how this game will go.

 

[StLouisClone]

Our defense rarely holds the other team to a FG. They aren't aggressive enough with the pass rush. Let Ewers get comfortable again.

 

[t-noah]

You and Darius are tremendous optimists! I know I freak out when we lose, but you two are a bunch of Debbie Downer’s when it’s a one score game.

I would say, or tell them to have a Pepsi, or something stronger! Only this would likely make their extreme pessimism even worse.

 

[Hoggins]

Do we not think our O-line might have something to do with our lack of a running game?

They’re probably like 85th in the country. Not good. The RB’s might be like 120th

 

[jctisu]

Their opportunity was at the start of the game. Go up 14-0 and have UT rattled while UT was still waking up. We didn’t take advantage and now UT has momentum. I think we lost our chance of the upset.

Dude good lord it’s 14-7. You may end up being right but it’s a one score game with a whole half to play. You can’t say it’s over yet.

 

[Big_Sill]

Failed to take advantage of Texas lazy start, we lose by a ton now.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

we lost a one point game last week , when we got the ball back twice on the 50 yard line to finish the game. you think they will recover from seven point deficit
