*** Official IOWA STATE vs Memphis Liberty Bowl Game(Day) Thread ***

[HFCS]

Didn’t we just fail on 4th and one with basically the same play

Zero good handoff plays. Zero. Only run success is improvised scrambles on pass plays and the one 5 yard reverse.

 

[ExCyment]

Chizik

Chizik actually might have turned things around if he was actually entrenched.

 

[isuno1fan]

Becht picked the wrong hole there.

Said the same thing.

 

[JP4CY]

Alright, let's get a pick this next series.

 

[NoCreativity]

Abu is not a power back. Can we see what Hansen can do between the tackles please?

Getting him out in space where he can make guys miss makes way too much sense.

 

[jctisu]

Holding onto your stupid though eh @clonedude just admit you were clearly wrong.

 

[Drew0311]

It’s almost like we have to score before we get inside the ten. That’s how we beat Kansas State. Either have a long pass or long run. Otherwise our coaches seem to panic and don’t know what to do inside the ten

 

[ISU_Guy]

Well needed the touchdown there.

Why is Memphis hitting us 5 yds behind the line of scrimmage on runs?

 

[IFA Cyclone]

I almost wonder if Rocco messed that last one up.

That looked to me like 100% designed run. Much like the 4th down call.

 

[ozzie8]

Rocco is not a good runner on called runs.

It was there. Cut back was wide open

 

[Cyhig]

Analytics say go for it on 4th and 3. FG doesn't really help and u are a decent return away from giving it right back. Something we like to do a lot.

I'm ok getting the three points in that situation. There is still plenty of game left. The three points may be the difference later

 

[brett108]

Are we still calling Scheelhaase an offensive genius?

We need a run game coordinator. Is that a thing in college?

 

[CyCloned]

Really needed the td there. Probably should have run the bootleg on that play Sama was crushed on. Memphis had everyone crashing in on that play

 

[Dandy]

A quick slant by any WR is almost guaranteed to be open in play action at the goal line. But hey let’s run it behind our backup left tackle instead.

 

[RezClone]

What was that? Did Campbell take over the play calling again?

Trying to keep Scheelhaase on staff. Gotta dent the resume a bit before someone with deeper pockets comes calling.

 

[Prone2Clone]

Becht picked the wrong hole there.

That never goes well, in my experience.

 

[NENick]

I was hoping Rocco to Brahmer on 1st down.

 

[BigLame]

Campbell upset - wonder if it was the Memphis player using leverage to jump over a lineman (obvious penalty) on the FG attempt

 

[clonedude]

Becht would have had the 1st down easy, but didn’t hit the right hole. Bummer.

 

[cyclones500]

You have to throw at least once in that situation. And really, after the 2-yard loss, probably have to go to end zone each time. Momentum-killer.
