*** Official IOWA STATE vs Memphis Liberty Bowl Game(Day) Thread ***

[HFCS]

We blitzed more than normal in the 1st half. Don't recall any getting home. When we blitz we are not very good at it, I agree

Our best blitz was a big play for them because they got to hold.

Just needed to start the game throwing down field. Memphis was determined not to let ISU run.

We all realized that three quarters before the staff.

 

[ISUTex]

I'd shelf that shift into a run until next year

Do you think Memphis knows that is a run when they do that?

 

[cyphoon]

That botched icing the kicker decision looms large now. Should be down 6.

Come on guys let's stop them here. Need at least a fg to lock up another one score loss served up by Matthew

 

[xboxfever]

Need a turnover for a score by the D and then a stop and go from there.

Need back to back turnovers because the defense isn’t stopping them.

 

[SCarolinaCy]

Depends on your definition, but if you expect more than we saw this year you will probably be disappointed.

yes. and he wants to keep the wheel regardless how low on fuel we are.

 

[bustamoveisu]

another bad decision by Rocco

all due respect, he's kept us afloat

Well, it's been working so far.

We’re gonna likely end up with negative rushing yards focused on rushing for three quarters…pretty bad.

And it’s also the reason we’re going to lose this game…. couldn’t establish any running game.

Becht has been running for his life all night because we are no threat to run.

Memphis has been able to run enough to keep us honest.

If you can’t run…. you aren’t going to win.

3 man is ok with pressure from other spots, we don't crash enough from LB or DB.

In watching this years team, it just doesn't seem like our LB are great at tackling in space. Including when they blitz.

Guess I would rather see a 4th DL on long yardage plays. They are bigger and taller than a LB or DB. In addition to lack of pressure on QB that happens with our 3 man rush, my bigger issue is the QB has wide passing lanes to throw.

 

[Cyhig]

Entertaining game to end the season, no matter if they win or lose. Thats a win in my book

 

[xboxfever]

Can’t be playing walk on safety’s.

 

[simply1]

Cooper played that one well

 

[tim_redd]

nice play coop

 

[CyGuy5]

Can’t be playing walk on safety’s.

He is nowhere near good enough to get the playing time he does. Great story, but not a Big 12 caliber player

 

[Darius Bieber]

Of course they get the first down

 

[CY88CE11]

CALL THE OBVIOUS HOLDS!

 

[clonedude]

Scates had another easy TD there, but horrible pass.

 

[atlantacyclone]

D just wants to lose
