Thought we saw some good things but also a lot to clean up. A good tune up for Ohio. Let’s work on those areas and get ready for a good team coming in. Go clones.
Good tune up. On to Ohio
- Thread starter TKlone3
- Start date
If someone would have said Dekkers would throw 3 interceptions in the first 2 games I wouldn't have believed we were .2-0
WIll have to play better against good teams, but I'm confident they'll fix the mistakes.
May have to live with a few interceptions from a young Qb. Love that he is willing to get the ball out, and hope that confidence doesn’t get stifled by cautionary coaching. Just needs a little refinement, as I think he has the potential to become an assassin. Its a journey. On to game III.
They just got beat soundly by Penn St

This is exactly how you have to look at it. He isn’t gonna be perfect this year but he clearly is an exceptional talent and we are in good hands going forward.
Enjoy the ride.
Dekkers talked a bit about it in the post-game presser.
Yesterday was a great test for him and coming out strong on that long drive was impressive.
I’m nervous when he runs. He runs like Lanning at times and trucked one of the Iowa backers. I like it but Becht needs some time to season.
I think there was a lot of that team-wide yesterday. Noel showed his potential. Several guys on defense stepping up.
I thought he was out there to end the game.
It would be nice if ISU came out sharp this week and roll on to let starters rest a bit.
I think he was, wasn’t sure what he went back for. Freyler went back at a time Also.
Good thing the Cyclones are playing the Bobats instead of the Nittany Lions!
Fun Fact: My first game @ Iowa State was the 1989 season opener vs. the Bobcats when we were introduced to Mr. Blaise Bryant!
I've also seen the Bobcats lose @ Iowa State in 1992, lose the Donut Bowl @ Iowa State in 1995, lose the Camellia Bowl @ Montgomery, AL to App State in 2015 and lose to Central Michigan @ Ohio Univ in 2017.
So, the Bobcats are (0-5) when I have seen them in person including (0-3) @ ISU. Let's make it a clean half a dozen overall (0-6) and (0-4) @ Iowa State!
Let's Go State!

So, as we look to the future, here are some (partially) unanswered questions:
- Was Iowa's defense really "all that?"
- Are we concerned about our lack of production in the red zone?
- How can we shore up punts?
- The single field goal was kind of low and shaky -- how will that progress?
