Why not go for something there? Even if you go three and out and punt, Iowa doesn't have a quick strike offense

Winners don't have this mindset. On the football field or in the game of life.
2nd quarter didn't suggest a promising result. We'll see how well ISU makes halftime adjustments.
Pretty much what I thought it would be as a toss up game. Main difference that I see is that Park is not on. If he can settle down a bit and be his normal self, we win this.

Sources say Stanley has a bad ankle. You'll probably see a nice dose of blitzing this half.
Chip Kelly?..........

Amen. Iowa State has worked extremely hard to overcome this sort of negative mindset, to become winners. We owe it to them to join in. It will happen, even if we DO give up a touchdown.
Ending the half with no 2-minute drill. Kicking that field goal on 4th and goal. That is old school stuff. Not a bad thing at all. I just think Matt Campbell is more of a Bill Snyder than a river boat gambler type of coach.
I HATE HATE HATE ending a half like that. So Passive. So wasteful. YOu preach for 9 months for the players to do their best and then as a coaching staff you take that weak ass **** out to get into half time. pathetic...always has been when McCarney did it too. Loser coaching. That is exactly what John Madden told Belicek to do in Brady's first superbowl. "We're safe, don't make a mistake, regroup, make adjustments, blah blah, blah....." Screw that. LOSER Football.
Well Iowa state football hasn't been winners in how long?? Makes sense to have that mindset doesn't it?
Hmm, maybe that's why I said it was going to get ugly. You are comfortable with the trend in the 2nd Qtr?
Crap, they went 85-yds, and a holding penalty, in less than 6-min. D looked pretty good until that series.
Seriously. Shut up. WTF man.
If you want to be pessimistic cool, but don't drag people like myself down with that crap. Winners don't make excuses, they embrace solutions and fight.
Even it if does get ugly, I chose to view life through the lens of reality and even optimism. A subpar quarter, and being down four at the half does not make a game. It's beyond me how you have already forecasted this game "getting ugly."
