*** Official Ohio vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[Mr Janny]

Mine has been perfect. On some of our miscues I wish it wasn't though. DOH!

Yeah, no issues with ESPN+ here, either.

 

[Jer]

Espn plus reception is pathetic. Stops, freezes always on a good play.....

Mine was solid the entire game. In fact, I have rarely if ever had an issue with ESPN+ since it started a few years ago.

CMC: "I like your hat. Actually, I like your whole outfit!"
Ohio coach: "I agree, I love black clothing!"

 

[HFCS]

He’d be their starter. What a mistake by Ferentz

That was a better throw than Petra’s has made in years.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Been a really boring second half. Not that I'm complaining - I'll take boring victories every season.

Nice when games live up to your Mark Henry theme postings.

 

[CentexCyclone]

Nice win, got lots of younger players on the field. Was a little out of sync in stretches of the game and way too many mental errors. Definitely lots of learning points for CMC and the staff to work on before Baylor roles into town. Go Cyclones!

 

[HFCS]

Great FG practice there.

I don’t mind extra punt and fg practice in terms of stopping these blocks.

 

[Marcelason78]

Great FG practice there.

Our freshman kicker is still perfect on FGs for the season.

Hello, saved me the trouble of posting. Ditto.

I live in rural area with not so high speed ATT internet, so I attribute 'some' of it to that. But I think it is more than that. Just not good reception today, at all.

And it kept bumping me off. Espn- (minus) in my opinion.

Great experience for those young guys - especially on defense. Good win, stuff to work on, wasn't always pretty but its amazing to win 43-10 in a game with mistakes. This team could maybe be really special. Don't want to get carried away but they really could be.

I don't know if its the best defense in school history like Sage said it could be but man, it does look good.

Hark mentioned that on radio call. Years past this is 13-10 and your fighting to get the win.

We have great fans!

We do. That was the only part of the 2020 season I wish was different - well, OK, beating OU in the title game but overall, as special as it was, I can't even imagine how amazing it would have been with a packed house.

While I may be a tad critical at times, this team - man... I don't want to jinx anything. But I'm starting to think 8 wins or maybe 9 is a possibility. Lots to work on, lots to improve. Lots of growth needs to be done and yes, some luck too.

But 3-0, dominating defensively essentially for 3 games, an offense that flashes potential all over the place, and at times decent ST play (clearly the area to clean up the most) all without our 2nd best offensive linemen and a stud runner.

If we get some - not all because you're never perfect. - but some of this continues to get cleaned up? I think we have a real chance at 8-9.

 

[CentexCyclone]

and what is up w/K-State still tied w/Tulane, 10-10 in the 4th qtr? Is Tulane actually good or K-State just not so much?

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

3-0 going into Baylor game.. I’ll take it every time

 

[CycloneErik]

We're good. No reason to think we can't be 4-0 next week.
Whatever they did differently, the staff figured out September for sure.

 

[cyclonemagic]

Wow -- this game went on for nearly 4 hours! But, it was a good win. Glad to see the coaching staff involve most of the starters and backups. This appears to be a well-balanced team.

 

[PSYclone22]

I think out SP Teams performance thus far this year is the worst I have seen by an ISU team in 20 years! My grade for SP Teams today would not be above a C-.

I now downgrade our SP Teams performance to a D. Two shanked punts, one almost blocked, two KO not reaching the end zone, one missed extra point & several Ohio that we’re unacceptably long!

8 of 9 kickoffs Ohio started at their 30 or worse.

7 of 8 FG and XP made.

Punting was bad.

Fielded every punt.

When looked at as a whole our special teams is average to above average thus far.

 

[khardbored]

If you look at box score, the way all of Ohio's possessions ended was pretty encouraging:

Punt
Punt
Fumble
Interception
Punt
Field Goal
End of Half

CMC said at halftime that he was disappointed in the sloppy play on the field. He and the coaching staff will work to correct the issues.

I m sure they will. In a weird way that's what makes this good because it'll keep the team grounded that the staff has enough to show them that we're not quite arrived yet.

But 3-0 is 3-0 and maybe, just maybe, people will start to notice we haven't fallen off a cliff.

Baylor.

Should be a heck o game. I'm hoping it will be epic, and another premise to a VERY good season.

Fun team! Great to be a Cyclone!

No problems here.
