*** Official IOWA STATE vs Cincinnati Game(Day) Thread ***

[Alswelk]

Good news is that’s a LOT of time gone for effectively no change in score

 

[Bigman38]

I am going to go against the grain and say I actually don't mind the runs here. Keep the clock moving, get the FG, and extend the lead back to 13 at the end of the third. Then, just drop coverage for the rest of the game and force Cincy to live on 3-5 yard QB runs. A pick six would be ruinous here.

The grain is mostly the same 3 idiots who cry about everything. The runs are fine, the line has done an alright job today.

 

[dirtyninety]

Why are we getting more conservative the closer we get to the goal line? Also, does anyone know where Sama is?

Not complaining about Sander's or Norton's performance, but seems odd. Sorry if the question was already asked.

Fear of fumbling maybe? Sanders does cover up good....it actually affected his run ability the last few plays. Good to not fumble I guess.

 

[CentexCyclone]

Touchback! Yes!!!!!!!

 

[hiltonisheaven]

Bacon is by far our best LB

 

[simply1]

Luckily that wasn’t intercepted.

If we lose this game 24-23…. CMC will have a lot of explaining to do.

Even more if we lost 58-23!

 

[Cyched]

Left some points on the field, but built on the halftime lead.

Put this away!

 

[CentexCyclone]

Cyclone D doing great job with attack angles, wrapping up and preventing YACs today.

 

[ClonerJams]

Counting on the D to win this. Offense just needs to eat up some clock and get in FG position.

 

[DrShip]

Get a stop on this drive and you might just start feeling OK about this game, if you're not careful.

 

[JM4CY]

Feels like Cincy is boa constrictoring themselves

Dude…

Even more if we lost 58-23!

Yep gonna lose by 40 now.

I ****ing hate leads.

 

[cyclones12321]

Well we off set there possession that they scored and it took a quarter away. Another win there. Now we do the same thing and we win

No.

So you are willing to throw the ball throughout the drive, then turtle shell in the red zone? Moreover you put yourself in a predictable passing situation, making it more likely something bad (like a TO) happens?

Hillbilly logic.

 

[clonedude]

Teams that are already worried about the clock in the 3rd quarter usually lose.

[Althetuna]

Well done D

 

[Cyched]

Huge (nut) sack!!!!

Winning battles on the edge this half.
