*** Official IOWA STATE vs Iowa Game(Day) THREAD ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
Was this the same guy who said the offense sucks balls at the beginning then ended the call with I'm going to go puke I'll talk to you next week.
Yea Brock looks like our main back. He has a physical/slashing style. Reminds me a little bit of Montgomery.
But still think Norton, Sanders or even Silas have a role in this offense as a change-of-pace or situational RB.
I'm pretty critical of Tom, thought he was pretty good today. Sone of this stuff like blocked punts, fumbles, etc isn't his fault.
Now, my opinion, one side of the ball is generally very well coached and the other side struggles at times over the past few years. See if tgat can improve some this year.
In the first two games our offensive line had been the best of the Matt Campbell Era and at times in the running game are dominant. Manning is a decent OC, I have my criticisms (if we need 10 yards we will throw it 7 and rarely get the yacs).
People wanted him to throw the ball around and we tried and failed against a very good D. He made adjustments and we ran a lot more which was effective (which I think was a surprise).

Some people would complain if you hung them with a new rope. Coaches call the plays. Players execute the plays. If it all works more often than not we win the game. Given the number and quality of starters we replaced, 2-0 is an excellent start, especially when one win is against a stout Iowa team.
Seems there is also a general lack of appreciation for how difficult it is to win a game…or even execute different parts of a game. Every play has an opportunity for success, but too many people seem to look at a play and think everyone involved is incompetent if what they are able to see (open hole, open receiver…or even just making a perfect pass), doesn’t happen.
There’s very little respect for the fact that there is another team actively working to keep you from doing what you want to do…and even less for the human element. I assume not having played sports and/or video games are largely to blame.
Seemed to me the refs called a fairly good game. I thought they gave us one with the personal foul on #3 pushing out of bounds. The play was all but over and going out as it was but when he initiated contact they were still in bounds and the play was still live.
The offsides on us was questionable at best then tacking on the extra 15 seemed blatantly bad but probably a legal call. Does seem a bit aggressive for the circumstances but rules are rules.
The only question has been raised by others about how many players were on field and changing of possession. Although in fairness the offense doesn't run out onto the field immediately after a turn over. There is a media break and refs have to set the ball.

Probably mentioned already, here or elsewhere: First 2-0 start since ... 2012
Is there a 'we can still win the national title' thread on one of their sites, started by someone calling into whoever Travis is?
Definitely didn’t cross he had he had the ball below his man titties.
Hines can't get out of his way with that kind of thing. I got it years ago and understand it, but he's out here on national programs basically shitting on ISU before this game this week. It wasn't pretty but he seemingly tries to be the contrarian beat reporter at this point.
That call could have gone either way, but Iowa had LOTS of opportunities to win that game and couldn't get it done. Kirk needs to have a talk with his offensive coordinator.

Iowa has gone from 173 total yards of total offense last year to a mere 150 today. How low can they go next year?
