*** Official IOWA STATE VS TCU Game(Day) Thread ***

Baby steps I will take this win. Good job O line to open that hole for Hall to win it.

Happy for the win, but definitely some issues. Notably the DB’s, Purdy, and special teams were better, but not close to perfect.
DL and RB’s saved our ass today. (And Rose’s INT).

Congrats on the win no matter how close it was at the end. It's time to leave September and enter Brocktober!

Punt coverage was still pretty bad, but kick coverage looked worlds better.

Sweet hands, Mike Rose. Thank you!

 

[Cyched]

Got a little hairy, but so many past ISU teams would have let that one get away by the 3rd or 4th quarter

 

[IASTATE07]

Sure, if you assume the defense is built to do so.

I like his thinking. Let's rush 5 or 6.

It’s way worse than the butt fumble. That was the worst play I have ever seen by an individual on a football field. The butt fumble looks really bad from the broadcast angle, but from the endzone angle you could see what Sanchez was doing and that the olineman was pushed back into him.

Yeah, it up there with Dan Orlovsky running out of the back of the endzone for a safety and the Iowa kickoff returner "saving" the football from going out of bounds on a kickoff only to be a fumble recovery for Tennessee in the TaxSlayer Bowl.

Any rundown on who played and how much in the OLine?

That awful play by purdy definitely could have been a wheels falling off moment.

 

[psychlones]

Mike Rose's interception was as great as Purdy's fumbleception was terrible! I'll take the win though, that's for sure! Go Cyclones!

 

[cstrunk]

Hey, we won! Does this mean the season isn't meaningless anymore??

Still sloppy and I still think Manning sucks and has screwed up Purdy... and our special teams sucks. But I saw a lot of improvement from the fiasco two weeks ago.

 

[clonedude]

Great win!! So much improved from 2 weeks ago.

We have to get something going in this terrible passing game though. Purdy still doesn't look good at all. That needs to get better for sure.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

I like his thinking. Let's rush 5 or 6.

****, let’s rush 11 punt block style like in Tecmo Bowl every play. We’ll have 45 sacks a game.

 

[atlantacyclone]

Texas Tech looking good. If Texas and OU lose .... well, hopefully we can take advantage...

 

[t-noah]

It looks like the ref asked Patterson if he wanted to do the PAT and he said "nah."

I like Gary, glad TCU is in the conference.

I can respect that!

 

[JRE1975]

How many people watched the 1st Quarter and saw this coming!

Say what you want about the o-line, but the 4th Quarter they were running behind Ramos and Simmons! I look forward to watching the rerun and watching the o-line blocking a good front 7 for TCU.

 

[atlantacyclone]

Now it will be interesting to see how TCU looks next week...

 

[simply1]

Have you heard his music? It's delightful.

I'm skipping on that part..

 

[SEIOWA CLONE]

First win ever in Fort Worth. Sure it was sloppy, but we needed the win.
