*** Official IOWA STATE VS West Virginia Game(Day) Thread ***

Johnny Lang and these tailbacks are extremely average. Very little creating. Can pick up yards they are given.

And I know we witnessed greatness the last two years with this attribute but it seems like they never break tackles.

 

[dirtyninety]

Man, you gotta be able to get 3rd and 1.

That play call sucked....like unusually sucked like the guy calling it has no freaking clue what the ability of his team or uniform has.

 

[MLawrence]

It's amazing we still refer to that game.....14 years later. That's how epic of a disaster it was.

I bet OU fans will probably remember the Kyle Kempt game 14 years later.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Lang does not get ANY yards after contact whatsoever

Which is why he'll never be that "go to" back, no matter how much we wanted to crown him that after last week's showing.

Looks like the experiment of using RBs on complete set of downs and to get 3&1 didn’t work. Back to QB runs.

 

[CyArob]

Anyone know anything about their backup qb

He sucked at Miami

 

[Bigman38]

Anyone know anything about their backup qb

bad enough they got a grad transfer instead

 

[Gunnerclone]

Anyone know anything about their backup qb

probably not going to end up with a career like Chase Daniel I can tell everyone that.

 

[cyclones500]

I like Lang if he build a head of steam.

 

[CentexCyclone]

Kendall out. Hope this doesn't turn into a Chase Daniel situation.

QVU 2nd String QB Jack Allison has some talent: 4 star recruit to Miami, FL. Started Camping World Bowl when Grier elected to pass on the game, went 27-of-35 for 277 yards against Syracuse.

 

[Cy$]

He sucked at Miami

also a gunslinger

 

[clonedude]

Good call Heacock!

Now hopefully we can get a little running game going.

Well, so much for that idea.

 

[nickoff]

What's frustrating is we heard so much glowing coach speak about the running backs before the season.

 

[awd4cy]

I think this qb played in their bowl game against Syracuse last year. Wasn’t impressed.

 

[Dandy]

Man, you gotta be able to get 3rd and 1.

My dad has said this for years and years. I know it’s an imperfect thought but I tend to agree... the offense knows the count and the location, it should be able to get one yard.

 

[Cyched]

About as certain as death and taxes.

This is an "Iowa State of old" mentality.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Anyone know anything about their backup qb

Not much, although the limited stats they showed on him ordinarily would indicate it'll be a long rest of the day for WV.

 

[ISUCY23]

Lang had to get a 1st down on the 2nd down play. Completely open field and he can't make 1 guy miss or break a tackle to get the extra yard.

Couldn’t even fall forward

 

[MLawrence]

Well, so much for that idea.

Hey now, everyone knows the Cyclones break late.

 

[Stewo]

Our offense is playing right into the WVU strength. Their DL is really pretty solid. Need to work the corners and safeties. .
