He was limping pretty bad but it looked like he took a tough shot to the quad
*** Official UCF vs #9 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

I personally enjoy reading emotional reactionary meltdowns in the game thread, it's entertaining and that's what I'm here for.
For some fans, venting in the moment about pissing the game/season/program down our collective leg is a form of entertainment for them. Others enjoy putting their rose-colored glasses on and scolding those fans with condescending I-knew-we-would-win-all-along diatribes. To each their own I say. The forums would be boring if it was just an endless flood of positivity and optimism.

The booth view and a bit longer of a call if anyone was interested!
The spike didn't seem like a good decision when a touchdown was needed but got the flag when we needed it so it worked out.
Bumping this as the best prognostication from the "Pages of Doom" phase of the game thread. Probably should award the poster the Keep the Faith Award (aka Trust the Process Award) for this game thread.
Also, laughing at some of the posters who went back and deleted their posts from the Pages of Doom 20 minutes later when we took the lead and won the game.
BTW, I sort exempt regular fan frustration like "Well, poop!" and " Watching this is killing me!" from the "Our team sucks Fire everyone! Our QB sucks! Here come another game in Memphis!" peeps. Or posting "It's over" at half a dozen points in the thread.
Ha fair enough!
Love Mouser and the job he’s done so far. But I have a strong dislike of the heavy personnel lined up in spread formations, particularly with the TEs on the boundary.
But Mouser is pretty awesome. He is aggressive as hell, or at least as aggressive as MC probably enables an offensive coach to be!
TL;DR if we didn't have doomers who would we laugh at?
Someone in my section was saying (after it was 28-14) that we'd lose 56-14.
Teams have ****** games. Teams lose games they shouldn't. Life happens. But for anyone---even in the heat of the moment---to say that Heacock should be fired or to talk any **** about Campbell or Mouser is a complete moron.
Back from Ames.
Oh, What a Night!
Let's Go State!

Observations
1. Rocco running was effective but it is not sustainable. He was hit too much. The first pick six he was still a little dazed from the hit at the end of his run.
2. Sama ran hard and was much better.
3. For once I didn't hear any negative comments from the crowd about coaches/players even when things looked bleak.
4. We really need the bye to hopefully heal.
5. Truly amazing effort by the team.
6. Pass protection was more like Purdy often saw.
7. UCF has players. Texas like in that they are playing below their talent, but could be a problem in the future.

I had the exact same observation on the first pick 6. I understand the desire to go uptempo after the big running gain, but a few more seconds to collect himself may have helped his decision making.
A lot of fans think being negative makes them sound smart
I think they think it will hurt less when we loss. But it doesn't. They stomped off with 5 minutes to go and didn't witness one of the most amazing game winning drives in Jack Trice history.
We were all disappointed/sad/mad when it appeared we weren't going to win. But those of us that stuck with it have a core memory.
fingers crossed some makes a cut of the last 2 minutes with Walters's call like they did for the Iowa game. Would love to hear the whole final drive and game sealing INT.
7-0, then tied their next game (Kansas State), then lost Big 6 championship game to OK. Ending record, 7-1-1.
That play Rocco made with 2:25 left in quarter 3 was one of the top 5 plays I can remember especially if you throw in the importance of the timing and stage of the game with a perfect season on the line
He came in for the pitch play in the 3rd qtr stopped at the 1 yard line. So hopefully just dinged up, and more precationary.
Good win for the Cyclones.
Does anybody remember the game against the Hawkeyes?
Hopefully we win a few more like this.
