*** Official IOWA STATE vs Iowa Game(Day) THREAD ***

[simply1]

Got a break on the punt, let’s put together a drive now.

Not to worry. Two stupid things have happened to us and without that we've got at least 3-0 lead. But we're now outplaying them on both sides of the ball.

So without a short field to work Iowa hasn't scored. And without a fumble we do score. So pull back and look at the 10,000 foot view...we're good.

 

[t-noah]

Wow. That punter is good! Almost another pin.

 

[ianoconnor]

Woof. Glad we got a touchback there.

I'm notcable tobwatch.

What happened after 2nd and goal at the 1?

 

[Skyh13]

OK how will we gift them this series?

3-and-out poor play calling seems a safe bet

 

[Cyinthenorth]

We are actually catching some breaks. I just don't think we have the fortitude to capitalize

Fumble for touchback

I mean, we are not good. WE will lose this game. And it doesn't matter.

Still going to win. Iowa can’t score. Just don’t give them the ball on our ten yard line and we just need to get to 14 and we’re good.

They wont, if you watched the last 5 games, they all went this way and ISU lost. You can predict how this game will go within the first quarter. Iowa always comes to play and ISU shows up flat even at home

The Taylor touchback was a gift from the gods of the north wind! Lets not waste it!!

They don’t need to. We do it for them

A nearly unforced fumble.

 

[cyclones500]

OK, let's get a TD drive together. C'mon!!!

 

[Nelcyn]

We will be fine. Still have a good feeling. It will be interesting with the rain starts though.

 

[helechopper]

Iowa isn't all that great. That's what's disappointing.

We should be tied, if not up 7 right now. But it seems I type this same sentence every Cyhawk game.

 

[CloneGuy8]

We've at least shown we can move the ball on Iowa. Hopefully we're not mentally broken after that fumble.

A lot of game to play. I still like our chances. Need a clean game here out!

 

[DSM4Cy]

There's just no way to explain this. Their players very clearly want the game more, which disgusts me as a Cyclone. How could that be possible? Our punt protection is awful, once again, and our punt rush and coverage is basically non-existent. Then we try and get cute in calling a run up the middle, jumping over a pile, and we get what we get.

The game is still young and we could still win, but again, we're not making it easy on ourselves. And we are definitely not winning in the margins.
