Optimism for Okie State matchup
- Thread starter Bucklara
- Start date
Dude I know it was probably frustrating watching Baker march up and down the field on you guys all day long but you need to relax and move on.
Not sure why, but I’ve got a feeling that Iowa State comes out guns a blazing and takes care of business.

I'm curious to see how both teams come out energy-wise and how fragile each is after adversity.
Dear football genius,
I wish you understood the competition in your own league. Georgia Tech runs the ball 85% of the time. iSu runs the ball 47% of the time. a better comparison would be iSu is trying to be KSU.
Maybe iSu should take a page out of OSU's defensive play book...play ****** pass defense and let people score as quickly as possible. Works well for oSu
I think the defense will give us a chance to win but the offense needs to play 4 quarters.
It did get me fired up last night when watching the 2011 upset of OkieState on ESPNClassics. But then I looked at our line that game, Farniok and Osemele especially. I mean do we even have guys potentially that capable on our OLine now? Idk, it's just an honest question. Similar situation tho, that a first start quarterback(JTB) was pulling it off. Think the graphic said he threw over 50 pass attempts in that game. Whoa
Not a lot of people have a player with KOs ability. Not even Alabama. But yes, we have Farniok potential
I never claimed that the front four got all the sacks, but go ahead and put words in my mouth if it serves your argument. What I said is that we are 5 deep at DT and 6 deep at DE, that we will platoon in fresh players every two or three plays and will over time where your OL down. Once that happen, the QB hurries start, followed later by the sacks and TFLs.
I never said who will get the sacks, only that your OL will be gassed. I’m not responsible for what you assume.
When and if you get an offense that can score 38 points in the first half against a Top 5 team, you’ll understand. Until then, by all means go ad hominem for the laughs, instead of adding to the football discussion.
Falling in Love A man fell in love with the girl of his dreams. They were perfect for each other, except for one minor problem: She was an Texas Longhorns fan and he was an Oklahoma Sooners fan. He decided to make the ultimate sacrifice and become a Longhorns fan. He went to the doctor and asked if there was an easy way to do this. The doctor replied, "Yes, it's a very simple procedure. What we do is go in and remove half your brain. When you wake up, you will be an Texas Longhorns fan." The man agrees, and the next week goes into surgery. After he wakes up the doctor comes up to him concerned. "Sir, I apologize, but there was a mix-up with the scalpel. Instead of removing half your brain we removed 3/4 of it. How do you feel?" The man sat up, looked around, and said "GO COWBOYS!"
An interesting point, but it shows you didn’t watch the games you’ve cited. TCU scored a TD late after we turned it over trying to play catch-up. We also had two other TD ps off of TOs where our offense gave the Defense a short field to defend, which wasn’t their fault. Also, we had lost the entire right side of our O-line to injury, which gave TCU more offensive series than they otherwise would have gotten, on a day where it was 120 degrees on he field.
Texas Tech was a night game with the fans attempting a blackout, and 7 of those points came on a pick-six, somthe defense only gave up 28.
WVU had one TD on a blocked punt (not the defenses fault) and one TD on a pick six. So again, WVU only scored 25 against our defense, and again, our speed of play on offense leaves our defense with more series to defend. Oh...and WVU’s final TD came on a 13 play drive at the end of the game, when the winner had already been decided.
OU? I already explained that we had the same number of defensive series at the end of the first half as you had at the end of the game. Our defense isn’t responsible for the fact that your offense is slow and plodding.
Otherwise, nice thought.
Oh. Two more things. You didn’t mention what we did to Texas in the second half, when the Longhorns were playing dime and daring us to run. Our defense held Texas to one possession in the second half that wasn’t a three-and-out.
Second...ISU isn’t a good offense.

Yes. Okie State's front four will wear out ISU's offense and shut down ISU's running game late just like they did against OU.
Dear football genius,
Actually you did. here is exactly what you said
Nowhere did you state anything else. Strictly talking about the DL. Me thinks you thought the DL actually got the sacks and missed that your defense had to blitz to get pressure which of course is why OU hit big play after big play after big play

Our offense scored 38 points in 8 possessions against that team. Just like oSu did.
