*** Official IOWA STATE vs #19 Clemson Cheez-It Bowl Game(Day) Thread ***

[stewart092284]

Sage? He was barely a 50 percent passer and had more Ints than TDs in every year he played…

Very true although Sage also was at the fore front of building a program up. Sage with this team IMO probably has better stats than he ever did in real life. Better than brocks? Obviously we'll never know.

but that's why its one thing to say someone holds a record but its hard to say that someone is the best when its different eras. But that's just me

Hey go celebrate!

did manning blow it?

Do most teams score against Clemson there?

Every fan watching knew our offense wouldn’t get it done on either of the last two possessions. Nothing to celebrate here. Time for Manning to go.

 

[Gunnerclone]

It's a term we throw at basketball players. But 'hero ball' very much applies to Purdy.

Very interesting observation.

 

[Im4State]

Man… what a crap way for our best ever QB to go out. Dude was a gamer and laid it on the line all the time for us over the years. Things didn’t always go our way and sometimes they did.

nothing just love for BP15!!!



Manning on the other hand…. GTFO

 

[clonedude]

I am afraid he may come back.

If he does…. Dekkers better transfer out.

If Manning is back…. Dekkers should still transfer out if he wants to do what is best for his career.

 

[quasistellar]

Maybe not drafted, but the QB draft class this year is ridiculously thin, so there’s somewhat of a chance.

Zero chance. Purdy has none of the upside to use a draft pick on. Not a strong arm. Not a big guy. Has shown again and again somewhat poor decision making, so can’t trust him as a game manager backup.

 

[CyNews]

Brock Purdy put us on the map! Players becoming millionaires at ISU. No opt-outs at Clemson.

Yeah, us this your first ISU game? Hes constantly making horrible mistakes that you you would expect from true freshman Qbs.

Fan since 1969. Purdy the best ever to come through.

 

[Taz4President]

Honest question: Do we think he would have been drafted? I could see him going in a later round (5th or beyond) but either way I think he made the right decision to play.

He’s not getting drafted

 

[dafarmer]

Thank the players for a great 5 years, it didn’t come out like I hoped. But they made ISU a name in college football.

 

[AllInForISU]

Agree…. Dekkers should have taken over after the Iowa debacle. He’s a LOT more talented IMO. I hope Manning doesn’t ruin him.

Nah. Dekkers wasn’t ready.

 

[Tornado man]

Isn't Rose injured?

Scott Reister of KCCI: "Per ISU athletics dept. 'Mike Rose decided it was in his best interest to not play in the game today.' "

 

[Bigman38]

Hate to distract from the hate fest going on here, but lets mention Freyler who really stepped up tonight.. 15 tackles, 1 qbh.... Really outstanding.

Yeah, my feelings about the safeties next year did a 180. Hell of a game from him, and all kinds of room to grow the next 3 years.

 

[AuH2O]

Our best players on both sides didn’t play. Tell me you don’t think they make a difference in this one.

Not sure I buy it but Dabo said 28 scholarship guys not available (none were opt outs). Either way, a backdoor cover by our best senior class of all time against Clemson’s worst team in 7 years does not suggest ISU would be a 10 win team in the ACC.

Close this dumb ******* thread.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

I really am excited for Dekkers. Once our coaches took purdy's legs from him they turned him average. Dekkers can pass 30 yards without heaving, COULD pull a quarterback sneak and has a height advantage to pass OVER the line. I hope that makes a difference next year.

They should have given him more snaps after the UNI and Iowa game. Multiple teams do the dual QB thing, but they stuck with him and his turnovers caused multiple loses.

 

[marothisu]

He’s not getting drafted

I'm borderline on it but leaning towards no. I do like the guy. WIth that being said, maybe he'll convert to safety or WR for the NFL. JK.

 

[scyclonekid]

Just slide just slide you got the first, darn it.

Lol

Jesus H. Christ this is the worst ******* take I've seen on this site this year (and there have been thousands), and I'm absolutely shocked that it's from Clowndude.

zero chance he is getting drafted and nothing he did today affected this.
