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.

What cover are you talking about? It was Clemson -2.5.

STEELE NEVER LOST TO IOWA!
I've never seen a more clutch stretch from a qb in my life for those three games

no way purdy gets drafted.
I do find it interesting that it hasn't been discussed about him being a super senior. Why not if you are him? has he ever been asked or has mentioned anything about it?

I stand by my comment and completely uncontroversal take that Sage was an objectively better qb and foundationally more important qb to isu history than...(checks notes)...Steele Jantz

I agree. But neither should be in the conversation or mentioned as best QB in ISU history.

Thank you to Purdy and other seniors that were not so selfish and sat out watching the team they claim to love, getting beat when it would have been a difference had they played. Allen Lazard, David Montgomery would never do that.

how selfish of you to want a man to risk his money because youre mad a bunch of sub 24 year old didn’t win a football game.

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

Fan since 1969. Purdy the best ever to come through.
He can't hold a jockstrap to Seneca Wallace and Roesnfels was alot better player also. He was decent Qb that happened to be here when we had 2 NFL running backs and one of the best defenses in the country over his 4 years. These last 4 years are by far the most talent that's ever been in Ames as a whole.

This game was the perfect summation of Purdy’s career, this season and this team. What a failure

Is it possible to simultaneously agree and disagree at the same time? And which side ultimately wins with the cognitive dissonance?!

I think you have to tip the cap and acknowledge that while we may be very, even bitterly, disappointed considered our potential, Brock has still taken us to places that many people had not dreamed of for a long time.

Best of luck to all not coming back next season. Thanks for being a Cyclone, I’m sure they’re all not happy with this season.
