*** Official ISU vs Texas Tech Gameday Thread ***

[statsaholic]

Then dont watch. I think ISU actually competed well with a good football team. Yes, there are frusrations. but dammit I am a fan and not a whiner..

 

[Erik4Cy]

ISU can't feel good. But Tech can't feel that great about that win. We had no business being within 28 points with that statistical performance. If I looked at the boxscore without the final score, no way I would've seen a 42-35 scoreline in there.

 

[CyBobby]

Well this one is now over..........on to Waco and the Bears...........

 

[cyclonepower]

Good catch Deon! Can our snacks catch anything?

 

[howellc33]

best 1 win team in the country. makes me sick if we had an offense the team would have a couple more wins.

I thought we would have been way better last year if we had an offense with the defense we had.

 

[Yes13]

So, why did we bench our 1 above average player?

 

[CyArob]

Did Wimberly play?

 

[CychoCyclone]

Many times thst is on the WR

How is it on the WR that richardson throws the ball out of bounds... were his 2 obvious underthrows on the WR?

 

[im4cyclones]

I don't know how we were even in this game. Our offense played HORRIBLE!!!

 

[CY22]

I don't know how even the THOUGHT of firing Mess on the spot doesn't go through CPR's head today after that bad of a game by the offense. Really it is inexcusable, I don't care how good Tech's D was supposed to be. At one time I thought I heard one of the announcers say Tech forced 12 punts in the 2nd half, and that was BEFORE the game was even close to over!

 

[CYISFLY]

Love the Clones, love CPR, but don't understand why Sam wasn't pulled. He was hurting, and that hurt the offense. Just wanted a close game, that's what it was score wise anyway. Tech has some playmakers, but they didn't really look that dominate. On to the next one

 

[cycloneworld]

When the announcers are actively questioning play calling, you have a play calling issue.

All we've heard about is SR's bad ankle and we are running read options and QB draws with him.

Insanity.

 

[Erik4Cy]

Hard to believe we could go +3 on turnovers, score a special teams TD and get beat by a backup QB. Our offense was THAT bad today. Dumpster fire bad. Putrid. Blech.

Yup. This.

 

[howellc33]

Rohach must be terrible and Wimberly must have p!ssed somebody off..

That's what I love about our D - they generally give up tons of yards, but not the points you'd usually associate with the yard totals. There was a good article about the analysis of defenses playing against the high-power offenses, and how those stats are misleading.

If the DBs had better ball skills, we may have overcome our high school offense.

 

[cyclonez7]

If only we didn't run out the clock with a minute left at the 35 and the stupid fake field goal. We left at least 6 points on the field.

 

[CYISFLY]

How in the hell does Texas beat Oklahoma that bad?

 

[mcblogerson]

Defense and special teams kept it close but the wr and Oline lost it.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I am a big Sam Richardson fan, but he is not the same Sam Richardson on one leg. I think the defense can come guns blazing knowing he won't kill them if they lose contain.

I would like to see him rested if it would help.
