*** Official Texas Tech vs #11 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

THAT THERE IS THE TOUCHDOWN PLAY!

Why didn’t we call it earlier?

 

[Cyclonepride]

Offensive execution was pretty terrible until that last drive and the defense was great after coming out off balance.

If you’re TT, you have to feel pretty terrible about being down right now

 

[madguy30]

We are not running Hanson much, but Tech is not giving the ball to Brooks much either. Very weird considering our pass D has put the clamps on.

I'm thinking the mud is making it really hard for both OLs' feet.

 

[cybychoice]

He hasn’t been great but it’d be Moberly.

Yeah I thought Moberly was up on burning his redhsirt

 

[demoncore1031]

Tech's pass game is not working so look for them to start running Brooks a lot.

Clones need to feed Hanson more on first downs and keep Abu on the sidelines. Keep getting Higgins and Noel the ball too!

 

[ClonerJams]

Yeah I thought Moberly was up on burning his redhsirt

I think he's only been in 2 games, so he can still appear in 2 more without burning it

 

[Cloned4Life]

I'm gonna make a statement that may be a bit hyperbolic, but I wanna know what others think:

We could have won a natty in 2020 if Purdy had Rocco's arm

I'm kinda like "no way"... then, I'm like "that was a REALLY good football team"

Depends on what you mean by "arm"? Arm strength? Yeah I think Rocco can throw it further than Brock. Rocco has not shown me he's got the mechanics yet to be a consistently great thrower. His mechanics (arm slot, release point, etc.) causes his misses. Brock had plenty of arm strength (and he's improved it in the NFL).

Rocco certainly has a chance to be great in college as well.

And really, if people are calling for Becht to be taken out, is it assumed the next person in is the one to play out the season?

Then the redshirt is not needed.

TBH I feel terrible just being up right now.

 

[cymac2408]

I'm going to make statement. If monkeys flew out of my ass I should join the circus.

If rabbits carried shotguns dogs wouldn’t eff with them.

 

[jctisu]

Ok so I was at a birthday party with zero internet access and was able to get out of there and see the last two minutes of the first half. That part was nice, but what the hell is going on with the offense. Was shocked we had only 6 points (all off FGs too and not a missed PAT or something). We not able to throw on these dudes or what?

 

[CycloneErik]

Seems like we have them figured out. Should be able to grind out a big win from here.

 

[madguy30]

If rabbits carried shotguns dogs wouldn’t eff with them.

This is true.

 

[Bigman38]

If Patrick Mahomes was given another year of eligibility and came to ISU there'd be someone on CF who thinks we're better off putting the backup in.

 

[Aclone]

Okay, so, we score 33 points in the second half.

Rocco and the offense just clicked into gear. Easy peasy.

 

[alarson]

Well yeah, we know that guy can't win in jack trice

 

[t-noah]

I'd leave 'em alone!

We have the new Redskins name, Washington Rabbits! Awesome predators.

Strength for sure, but he probably would still need Clanton's O-line too... & probably a special teams coach... & probably Campbell's current willingness to score points

Tech is blitzing a lot from many places along with crowding the box, throwing everything else off kilter.

ISU seemed to be successful with shorter passes with some YAC and got away from it at times. Hopefully they can find that again and get some time-consuming scoring drives going.

 

[byebye]

Neither one of them played special teams vs. La. and iirc ISU refused to get Hall to the edge in the loss at OSU that had nothing to do with the passing game.

Agreed re: STs
