*** Official IOWA STATE Vs Baylor Gameday Thread ***

Baylor isn’t as bad as people think, and they’re physically/talent wise not far off. Hopefully we continue to grind, avoid mistakes, and Baylor makes the ones that have been making all year.

It’s early, but Noland continues to show a lot of good things, particularly with this wind.

How about we target Lazard when we need yards and not Murdock. He is basically unstoppable and they can’t defend him and we keep going to murdock

They could easily stop Lazard since PI is allowed. He makes one handed catches but any of our receivers would be outmatched with one arm removed.
 
Zeb needs to know when not to throw that ball if nothing is there. The risk was not worth the reward.

But why wouldnt you go for it there?
 
Some of these ball placements by Noland make Kempt look like a dart pro.

Doesn't help that there's no push up front and they have ISU's passing plan pegged.

Missed opportunity there; I don't see many 3 and outs out of ISU's defense today.
 
Tom, it is allowable to not run the ball on first down. Yes Montgomery is the best offensive player we have, but he'll have more space to operate if Baylor remotely respects the pass.
