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

[sunset]

Embarrassing ending but better season than I would have expected. Maddening with all the wasted opportunities where the team was completely unprepared. Check back for first conference game next year when the coaching staff may actually be motivated.

Zero, Zero yards rushing against a G5 team. I don't care if it's a bowl game, that is inexcusable. We really need to go out and find someone who knows something about coaching an offensive line.

So far, the B12 has looked good in bowl games this year. Even Arizona (incoming B12 team) beat the mighty Sooners (outgoing B12 team). ISU better figure it out in the off season if it wants to be competitive in the "new" B12.

Teams that looked the worst were ISU and Utah that thinks they will be easy 10-0 every season.

 

[Lineup]

this coaching staff doesn't have a clue start the bus Matt

 

[nfrine]

Campbell probably wishes they could’ve run the ball more

 

[Hammerschlagen]

Bad matchup for us. A team that gave a ****

 

[mitchforcy]

Not having a single rushing yard against a G5 team is beyond embarassing.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

Missing starters on the defense definitely showed.

O line is just not good enough. Period. No excuses.

Memphis Tigers are the Liberty Bowl Champions of the world!!!!

Technically they won the liberty bowl many times just this season.

It’s not that we lost is the how we lost. Also let’s be honest, as much as I love our conference this was a very down year.

Yeah the Big12 was not very good this year. Iowa State was an overrated 7-6 team IMO.

Ok - Memphis to the big 12. Problem solved!!

Iowa State should never lose to the Memphises and Ohios of the world. Its beyond embarassing to get boat raced by a team from the American Athletic Conference

Really disagree. The game may have been different had Tampa played…and he may have if this meant something. I love that we made a bowl game. It’s good for the fans and the players…but winning this is unfortunately not a big deal.

Well I'm not going to call it that but if you say so I'm putting all my trust in you.

Rocco is decent qb, not a game changer. He will start next year with decent results. With bad o line play, same results. I can't see a kid like him sit on the sidelines.

Memphis they just said on the post game was 100th nationally against the rush and we got ZERO YARDS.

I wonder if we should Costanza our run blocking and everyone does the opposite of what they’ve been doing.

Felt really good after Texas and K State games. Feel terrible after today.

Cyclone football program has taken another step back. 20 starters coming back but let’s be honest we know we’ll look just as terrible to start next season as we did today.

 

[CyGuy5]

Really disagree. The game may have been different had Tampa played…and he may have if this meant something. I love that we made a bowl game. It’s good for the fans and the players…but winning this is unfortunately not a big deal.

One player should not be the difference in giving up 39 to freaking Memphis in a loss, versus winning the game. If it is, that’s a scary look into a complete lack of talent on our side

 

[Big Daddy Kang]

Zero rush yards. What the absolute ****!

 

[SDClone]

I hope coach is sooo proud of ZERO rushing yards.
