Gotta give the big fella credit there. That was a heck of a play

I dunno. He lucked into making a play because the pass was behind the receiver.

 

[ClonerJams]

Would have been a TD had Rocco lead him two more yards

True, but its tough throwing on the run

 

[Gunnerclone]

You’re not paying attention if you put that throw on Rocco.

Ya I don’t think the plan there was for the pass to be 25 yards.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

True, but its tough throwing on the run

Shouldn’t be too crazy difficult for a D1 QB but what do I know

 

[Pope]

Abu has kind of a high risk/high reward style of running. It seems like it's usually either a nice gain or tackle for loss.

 

[cloneclone]

Based on the first drives, we should win this game by 30. There's a pretty big talent gap

 

[CydeofFries]

I dunno. He lucked into making a play because the pass was behind the receiver.

IDk, when a dude wearing the #90 not only recognized the TE was going out for a pass, but also chased him all the way across the field and broke up a pass, you just gotta tip your cap

 

[Pope]

You’re not paying attention if you put that throw on Rocco.

You gotta be kidding me. Our receiver had his man beat and Rocco threw it behind him.

Crowd sounds like a CIML game

 

[madguy30]

Receiver was wide open in the end zone and Rocco throws it behind him. Once again, Rocco not super sharp on first drive of the game. Hopefully, he'll settle in quickly.

Hopefully his next run out doesn't include 4-5 defenders on him at the snap.

ISU may have gotten a little ahead of themselves/greedy with that formation.

 

[rosshm16]

Defense is here to play today

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Crowd sounds like a CIML game

From first look probably 12,000 there maybe

 

[Prone2Clone]

Do they have 20,000 at this game? Looks pretty lame.

 

[ClonerJams]

I love Jon Heacock

 

[madguy30]

Shouldn’t be too crazy difficult for a D1 QB but what do I know

It's very difficult at any level with that kind of pressure.

 

[Pope]

Huge 3rd and short stop by the D. Like what I'm seeing so far.

Hansen is much more decisive. Sama pokes around too long trying to find the hole. TWSS.

 

[cayin]

Should Sama be RB3? Serious question. Not that he's bad, I just think the other 2 are better in this offense.

I feel like when he runs, there are yards left on the table. Even on positive plays, it seems he doesn't exploit all that is there. I don't know, maybe he lacks good vision.

 

[Pope]

Get it into the end zone on this drive, go up by two scores, and take away their hope.

 

[Bigman38]

You gotta be kidding me. Our receiver had his man beat and Rocco threw it behind him.

They missed 3 blocks to the side he’s rolling out on. So he’s rolling out backpedaling and throwing off his back foot. Putting the ball on him at all is a win there.
