Man how great was it to see Kene finally break one on senior night after it often felt like he was *this* close so many times.
I couldn’t watch the game live because they were so bad. I’ll have to rewatch the second half.
Most of the ISU games on youtube are between 2 hours and 2.5 hours and they have the whole season except Kstate and WVU on there.
That is beautiful.
It really had the feel of Rocky Vs Drago. The big bad guy things he win without fighting really. Then he just gets outlasted by a smarter, savvier.
One thing that I have really noticed when rewatching games or highlights is Sean Shaw. I know people were bagging on him because he wasn’t as productive this year, but holy crap. That man can block in the open field. I think it was against k-state or WVA where Xavier had a catch and ran across the field where Shaw was directing him to go behind him because he could seal off a defender. It was glorious.
I saw this post and didn't realize it was football... I was really questioning OPs sanity for a minute.
Condensed games on big 12 website are god sends. Takes out all the pre-snap motion. But gets pretty much everything in 40 minutes.
I could lie and say that K-St being hampered real bad by covid when we played them made that drubbing feel a little hollow. But it didn't. It was glorious, and exercised a decade worth of demons against the vampire, refs, and other bs that seems to always plague us against them.
Yeah, I only watched the ISU game, so hard to say. Teams tend to be pretty chippy when they think they are good and they are getting their butts kicked, and they were definitely getting kicked around the field.
That's good, because if there is anything nature abhors it is flabby demons.
I go to Cyclones.tv and watch the express version. It shows every play with Eric and John's call. Takes about an hour.
Unreal how many times McDonald is flat-out tackled from behind on that last Texas drive.
Forgot how bad ISU was getting held all day in this game. McDonald was tackled at least 5 times.
No doubt about the OLine, but ISU is competing against just about everyone for a receiver with speed. Campbell’s quote about beating the F### out of Oregon has me thinking it could be a mainstay of the offense. It is demoralizing for a 180-190#DB to consistently take on a 215# RB and 260-270# TE. After awhile it starts to hurt.
Makes us a different team to prepare for in the Big 12.
I know this won’t be a popular take, but considering the circumstances and being in the stadium, I think that has to be one of the greatest cyclone games I’ve ever experienced. Honestly if two or so plays go differently there’s 0 doubt in my mind so it’s that close.
At times in the past when Iowa state teams have gotten the best shot of elite teams we’ve folded. Hell we played poorly and went blow for blow with one of the true powerhouse teams in college football last season.
The whole time I kept thinking man, Campbell has turned this team/program into a powerhouse.
At that point it didn’t even matter to me who won that one game.
Shaw has been very good in places and not good in several other. I can't remember if he was the guy that covered up the TE on several plays last year, or if it was Scales. Both these guys need to step up a bit. They appear to have talent, but disappear for entire games. The WR corps in general struggled a bit last year with the youth. This should be there year.
Currently watching the game vs WV from 2018 on the Cyclones channel. This is fun. Players like Milton, Kolar and Eisworth before we knew how special they were.
