Cooper is a big loss. He was playing at an all conference level but Bell has really improved and appears capable of playing a bigger role. Hopefully Taylor and maybe Coffey can show they are ready to play too.

I think bell is good

Gutted for Coop, really hope he makes a strong comeback (preferably in Ames next year), but we have a solid DB room so the sky isn't truly falling. Full confidence in that room!

He is sooo important to this team and has been for the last 3 years. I remember knowing we were doomed when he was out against kansas 2 years ago. They abused his replacement.

I mean, that was sarcasm, but you're right that he's very important to this team.

I still think clones win Saturday but maybe not by 10-14 points like I initially thought.

Because of the Coop rumor? In reality a player like Coop is at most a 1/4 of a point.

Yeah, I dont get that reaction. His loss is a depth issue. Basically can't have any more injuries at that position or we really are in trouble. Used up the margin for error in the injury department at cornerback and only 4 games in.

That's your opinion. His replacement misses a tackle on the edge or gets beat deep for 6 pts. that's more than a 1/4 point.

I hope his injury doesn't cost the team any points but I don't think that's realistic.

 

[ISUChaches]

Ok but is she saying this is a rumour thats false?

Agreed, people can complain about the burners all they want but turns out… they were correct and had the news before anyone else.

Updated report. Cooper officially “questionable”

I wouldn’t say they were 100% right but sort of right. He’s questionable not doubtful or not

Between Coop out/maybe and down to 3rd string FG kicker I'm taking the points.

Cooper has arguably been our best tackler and was playing like a first team all conference. Whoever fills his spot is going to get thrown at a ton being across from Jontez, and is likely not going to be the run stopper that Coop is. It’s a big loss

I don't think he needs to be downgraded to out until game time. Leaving him as questionable is just an attempt at Coach gamesmanship.

My thoughts exactly!

 

[iowastatefan1929]

Essentially ISU is saying he has 50% chance to play if they are following the guidelines.

 

[iowastatefan1929]

I think Zander turns out to be right, he is doubling down on torn ACL, he is on campus getting intel.

 

[NetflixAndClone]

Questionable is a lot better than out imo.

The "Out" will probably be on the final injury report Saturday.

Agreed. Campbell is always hush hush with this stuff
