With the injuries and lack of physical play at line of scrimmage ISU has almost no chance this week
Imo there tends to be an overreaction either way with the first game.
If ISU wins 45-0 yesterday it doesn't mean things will be rosy in 6 weeks. So much can happen with injuries, team dynamics, etc as the season goes on.
I can't tell if ISU has much for real potential but I'm still guessing 7-8 wins some how.
Yea. With Heacock you never really now where things stand because he only turns up the def dial just enough. I like to always think he has some tricks in his bag and I am sure he does but other than our secondary, I was not enthused by our defense at all in this game. Good news is KF will be back for this game so lets hope he puts the governor back on the OC.Lots of things to clean up on running defense. Iowa would have 250 yards rushing if we were playing them today. Tons of work to do this week.
Their defense is really good. Ours isn't. I don't like our chances. I hate this game every year.
Yeah but our offense is good and Iowa's offense despite points put up in 2nd half is still dog ****.
Our offense didn't look very good today. Theirs looked like a train wreck the first half. However the 2nd half they were clicking. Their D looks to be tough again, ours may be a work in progress.
They had almost 500 yards.
Iowa's offense is generally not good but they tend to pull out the needed play at crucial times.
Considering they couldn’t even do that against Illinois state, I’m not too concerned. YetIf Iowa has a 75% 3rd down conversion rate it will be a long day
Against an FCS program. Will need to see them against Div 1 competition before I declare their offense as legit.
Their offense is nowhere close to legit but it is probably average. 500 yards of offense isn’t impressive but it is for them considering how bad they have been on offense.Against an FCS program. Will need to see them against Div 1 competition before I declare their offense as legit.
All the timeSaw a few of their highlights…does McNamara throw off his back foot a lot?
Not a bird. A drone.Iowa 7-6. ISU lines up for a game winning FG, but as is tradition something stupid happens and the football hits a bird causing it to miss the uprights.
All the time
First two pages, and the Chicken Littles are out in full force.
Whatever problem the defense had Saturday, Jon Heacock will fix it.
Yeah, our offense only averaged 7.1 yards per play yesterday. Horrible.Our offense didn't look very good today. Theirs looked like a train wreck the first half. However the 2nd half they were clicking. Their D looks to be tough again, ours may be a work in progress.
