*** Official #18 Oklahoma vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Listen. Vance is nice but he shouldn’t be the MLB. It needs to be Rose.

If we’re not going to be bringing him on any pressure then it just doesn’t make sense. Might be too late toput that genie in the bottle due to readjustment time for Rose.

I still think that they gave OU extra yards on that 3rd and long....

 

[cycophagus]

We need to score a freaking TD now.

Second the motion!

 

[benman82]

who bet the under tonight??

I thought about it at O/U 62.5, but ISU to cover was the better value IMO

 

[simply1]

A 3rd down stop. I'm not sure how to handle this

They’re3/9 on third now

 

[ZuriCyclone]

What was the point total line? I know Oklahoma was a 7.5 point favorite.

We left 12 points in the red zone. That was the game difference.

 

[jctisu]

Not bad there defense

offense just has to score more points

d doing as good as they can

Yep the defense has missed some things for sure, but in the end OU only has 20 points, and it's almost the 4th Quarter. Offense...your turn to win one finally for this defense.

It has to be frustrating being one of our 3 DL and getting double teamed all night long. That has to wear you out big time going up against 600 lbs of guys on every play by yourself.

Like almost two yards extra.

 

[CentexCyclone]

Drive down their throats and take the lead. This is the crucial part of the game.

OU's defense has looked pedestrian since the first quarter. There should be ample opportunities to score.... if the Clones offense could just get out of their own way!

 

[ZuriCyclone]

But it is nice to see were the program is at , that OU is going for it on multiple 4 and 1

I think 63.5 was what I saw on Gameday this morning

Only tells part of the story. For example, that last drive they failed a third down conversion, but picked up enough yards to justify going for it on 4th (which they converted and got 3 points out of).

 

[t-noah]

Just to be that guy, I'm convincing myself that I saw a little of Marc Wilson in Rattler's eyes there.

Trying to remember, remember. OK just tell me. Marc Wilson who?

Yep, they are 2/2 on 4th down

 

[DeereClone]

Watch it again, Scates jumped before the DT. I watched it 3 times and all 3 times it was the same.

I don’t have a way to go back and review it so I’ll have to take your word for it!

Two extra yards. It was egregious.

 

[motorcy90]

going to need a TD now..

 

[clonedude]

Like almost two yards extra.

You guys need to get over this... it was a pretty accurate spot. Unfortunately we threw him forward when we tackled him. We shouldn't have allowed him to get 13 yds on 3rd and 14.... that's the problem, not the spot.

Amen. I still remind myself that not long ago this was literally a bye week for OU and for me watching Iowa State. Campbell has competed with OU in almost every game against them, has beaten them, and was an eyelash from doing it last year.

Now all that said, if we want to take the next step, it's time to win this thing and take control of our own destiny in the conference race. We've had ample chances to prove it on the national stage and crumble almost every time. Let's change that tonight..
