*** Official IOWA STATE vs Iowa Game(Day) THREAD ***

[CloneGuy8]

No one is happy, lol.

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Pretty much the most Iowa State performance vs. Iowa in the first half ever. Can we pry our hands off our necks in the locker room over halftime? We shall see.

 

[mcblogerson]

This is going exactly as planned. Turn the ball over a bunch and lose.

 

[Urbandale2013]

People that blame the OC are absolute morons. Our problems are getting cute in the red zone which is Campbell and players making dumb plays which is Campbell.

 

[Jeffreyisu]

Who is blaming this on Tom Manning? The offense has gotten down the field. Not his fault the players and head coach couldn’t give a **** about ball security

Mostly for the stupid play calling on pivotal downs.

 

[AuH2O]

If this team was below average in the margins they would win 10 games every year. When it comes to details ISU is actually pretty terrible.

 

[JustAnotherTimeline]

Never does. We were better last season too

This is the obvious is recent years imo

 

[Cyclones01]

Idk if I can handle losing this game after that first half. We are clearly the better team, except for the plays that matter the most.

 

[tim_redd]

well... thats what learning on the job looks like from deckers. hopefully he learns and it fires him up for the 2nd half.

ISU still in this game.

hopefully he learned that bounce back ability from Purdy

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

If anyone still thinks we’re going to win this game, I have one question: what is it like being a first year Iowa State fan?

 

[CYdTracked]

Hope we can finally get this turnover monkey off our back and punch some TD into the endzone in the 2nd half. Have been the far superior team moving the ball down the field and into the red zone but keep shooting ourselves in the foot. If we had played a clean game so far we'd be up at least 14-0 right now

This is going exactly as planned. Turn the ball over a bunch and lose.

Yep. You can't turn it over twice in the red zone. And one of the turnovers was completely unforced.

 

[MeowingCows]

How many more turnovers are we gonna have in the end zone today?

 

[atlantacyclone]

Well, if our D can continue to hold it down in the second half I like our chances of scoring at least 5 points…

 

[CapnCy]

Well.....no reason we can't win....if we just get field goals, lol.....so many points left off the board.

Defense, do your thing.

Offense: finish.

 

[cyclones500]

I like that we aren't trying to run-in-trenches exclusively, but we're establishing no run threat whatsoever, especially given short field. We do have running backs.

 

[awd4cy]

Who cares. It is what it is.

Loser

 

[CyGuy5]

At what point does Manning (and Campbell to an extent) have to start answering for this?

 

[jsb]

Campbell will ruin his career before he fires that incompetent's fool. It is not just the play calling, but developing talent.

Campbell has shown that he is willing to fire people.

 

[Jayshellberg]

Iowa is selling out on defense. Would like to see ISU take advantage by running plays that the defense does not expect.
