*** Official UNI vs #7 IOWA STATE Game(Day) THREAD ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
DMac played UNI 5 times, with one being a 1 point victory (his last game against them) and one being a 7 point victory.
We’ve played UNI 21 times. Of those 21 games, 12 have been either a loss or within 1 score.
I’m all about getting them off our schedule forever, but to think these close scares are somehow a recent phenomenon would just be inaccurate to our history with them.
edit: for ***** and giggles I looked them up vs Iowa. 3 of 5 games against Iowa with Ferentz as head coach have been single digit vicfories, with 2 of the 5 being one score wins.

Interesting game. Defense looked like it was trying to shake off the muscle it built up over the winter. Slow and sluggish at first. But after that touchdown the old defense showed up. Play calling is always the first go-to complaint. Clearly, they stacked the box. That's when audibles should emerge and receivers need to create separation. Towards the end, it almost felt like CMC was daring the offensive line to create a hole through that wall. Zone reads against a stacked wall, imo, just don't work as well as man up and straight ahead blocking.
Yes. FCS. But UNI is probably more motivated, definitely had a massive line, and returned what I believe I heard was more players than even Iowa State. So, they had other things going for them which I, previously, didn't think they had.
Sorry if this has been said already, but if Campbell ever gets poached, Jamie’s first call needs to be Heacock.
Uni is very rarely out talented at the fcs level.
they will still lose 2-3 games they shouldn’t this year, because the quarterback play will be inadequate, and Farley will dig in his heels because he knows better.
True, but we all know those schools don’t have the expectations that we do this year
Even Paul Rhoads blew out UNI twice with far worse teams.
As we have seen and learned throughout MC's tenure, he really struggles early in the year but manages to get it figured out by October. This game was on par for a MC opener.
I expect ISU to make progress from week 1 to week 2, but it will still be a team that will be frustrating to watch.

I think Juicy Wiggle is for when there is some huge energy/play. I think with 2mins left if Brock would have got the first down to seal the game we might have heard it.
The band played Sweet Caroline, but it was after the team had left the field after the Bells of Iowa state.
No smoke on the water, either
Honestly I am of the opinion that MC had us play vanilla offensively for a reason. Didn't want to give Iowa too much to go off of, and really, with the exception of the big chunk gain on a broken play UNI had in the 1st half, they were flailing around offensively all game. Once we had a lead it was over, even if it didn't feel like it. Kolar was out also, and I would imagine that limited the offensive playbook pretty significantly
Oh isn't that cute! There is resident idiot @zuriclone - the most coward of all 'cyclone' fans, calling Cyclone fan stupid!
How's it going @zuriclone - some more overreaction today? Can you get your 12 year old ass out of here?
Sure, It's every week right @zuriclone the coward? Is this the start of your "replace CMC" campaign or are you just hoping to get hired as an advisor to Manning?
You do have a point about helping the defense. Last year the STs were so inept that the defense could only muster 8th best in the nation against the run.
And this weekend, it wasn't long we out gained or outscored the other team.
What about all the turnovers we had - how do solve for that?
Good thing we have you to help us understand how pathetic a 1-0 start and Top 10 National ranking is
What will ISU do differently with this roster than last season and before that?
