*** Official #23 IOWA STATE VS Kansas State Game(Day) Thread ***

[Old87]

No doubt who was the toughest team today. One team came to play, one team is happy with being bowl eligible. Give credit to Kansas State. They play good hard nosed football every year.

 

[helechopper]

K-State looks 2X tougher than ISU. Just sheer grit and “want to”.

I tip my cap to Kansas State, the most stubborn sons of ******* in the Big12.

 

[HoustonClone]

KSU is just a better team.

Tonight, yes.

 

[Clone5]

It’s funny this is supposedly one of our best teams ever and we are still losing to k State with a new coach and a down OK State amongst other terrible efforts.
Purdy refuses to step up in the pocket and our O line is constantly “developing.”
Our defense has gotten so much worse and our personnel is clearly overmatched. Tackling and pursuit is back to Chizik levels.

 

[jctisu]

True you get a double digit lose to KState and 4 combined loses for 11 points, enjoy that ,,,,

Hey come on we aren't supposed to have expectations. We need to be happy with being so close.

 

[adamwbusch]

Why are people ******** about the offense? The offensive production has been great most of the year. Heacock and his defense were supposed to be a strength but they have been garbage all year. I don’t know a single defensive player that improved from last year to this year. We look worse everywhere on that side of the ball.

The offense puts up number, just can’t do anything when it matters most. Manning is overrated as a play caller. There are times when being cute is not the right thing to do. Do the simple things well. It really isn’t that difficult.

Hope our bowl opponent isn't a power run team

 

[Darius Bieber]

5-4 in conference this year... Seems about right for an average team.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

Ugh mediocre bowl here we come.. can’t wait to lose that too

Guaranteed lose , you give this team time to prepare they come out even worse, almost lost opening game, lost games after bi weeks, lost last year after having time to prepare for a bowl game.

What a **** way to end a good season. Thank God we get a month off before playing again

I know this is an in the moment emotional response but right now I'm "Ah **** we have to play again this season."

 

[CYDJ]

How many of you lived through the 40 years of losing seasons we had?

My god, we can still win 8 games this year. What have YOU done to deserve more than that?

 

[WastedTalent]

What a **** way to end a good season. Thank God we get a month off before playing again

Honestly, what part of the season was good? With the exception of maybe texas, they lost to every team with a pulse. Very mediocre

 

[sdclone]

The team didn’t come to play, especially the offense. Offense was abused and should be embarrassed!

 

[ianoconnor]

There's something about the discipined KSU/Iowa type teams that we just can't seem to overcome.

 

[CloneFan4]

Sorry for the loss guys. I feel bad for all of us

 

[ZuriCyclone]

What a **** way to end a good season. Thank God we get a month off before playing again

The offense gets even worse the more time you give them.

 

[Doc]

Oh god we lost!

 

[Dandy]

Absolute garbage performance tonight. This defense is way overrated.

Offensive coordinators have figured out the 3-3-5.

 

[HouClone]

A 3-3-5 defense is never good against a power running team. Can we throw another backward pass for a 5 yard loss, or a 30 yard pass and gain 2 yards.

I would agree but we have shut down Iowa the past 2 years and have been good against the run all year.

And it's officially basketball season, Gnight 'Clones

Great another sport where ISU has no defensive capability....
