*** Official #22 IOWA STATE vs Utah Game(Day) Thread ***

[iowastatefan1929]

Hopeful the team can be lazer focused this week and have one of those nights where it all comes together, we are closer but still have the running QB problem on defense.

If some of you think we’ve played well recently then I am not sure what’s there to discuss. Someone can be happy about the wins, but still be realistic that the performance in the field has been poor.

I think the Cyclones played pretty well overall. Take away 4 or 5 bad plays and this was a beatdown. Still ends up a win.

Winning isn’t easy. Colorado and BYU learned that today.

We’ve never gotten to 9 wins in the regular season in my life.

This is pretty ******* cool and we all need to enjoy this.

And Alabama, Ole Miss and Indiana.

And Penn State barely hung on.

Boise state was also pretty close to a loss.

Add: i hate having to cheer against boise stae... but they are taking the bye from isu right now, which pushes us down to an away game.

It's hard this time of year. I'm sure all fans do this, but you'd think with our history we'd have a tiny bit of perspective.

Coming in to today, we were all hoping that we'd be playing a meaningful game next week. And we are. Was it pretty? No. But they accomplished their goal and that's pretty great.

Where’s @ChrisMWilliams ?!

Agree. How many teams can say they are still playing for a ccg spot during last week of regular season? This is special.

Campbell has the uncanny ability to win games that he should have lost. Prior ISU football coaches would often lose games that they should have won.

Who’s going to tell him..

 

[HFCS]

We’ve beaten a huge % of the 8 new teams already.

Everybody but the three teams we haven’t faced?

 

[Clone95]

All whites on the road won!!!

Boise St was trailing horrible 2-8 Wyoming in 4th quarter. Only scored 17 on them with the #2 Heisman candidate rb.

Where’s @ChrisMWilliams ?!

Very drunk in Vegas

 

[rochclone]

You also need Texas tech beating wvu cuz if wvu wins we still get in on tiebreaker

Cheering for WVU next week is a good idea.

It’s a crime if Hunter doesn’t get it

Yet another game thread where the negative posters who know we're gonna lose, vanish when we win.
A lot of crow sandwiches this year that are mounting up in the kitchen without being eaten.

ISU isn't perfect, our coaches aren't, but I'm glad the team doesn't have a lot of this mentality.

For the record, there is 1 scenario where even if ISU beats K-State they miss the Big 12 Championship.

ISU wins
Colorado Wins
Arizona State Wins
BYU loses to Houston

Arizona State vs Colorado go to Arlington

With CU at least a somewhat winning team it should be a lock.

After the Nebraska game I’d have never imagined them at 9-3.

Sooo.... now we root for BYU? This roller coaster sucks

Everything else, if ISU beats K-State, ISU is in Arlington

Wait, so if Colorado and Arizona State both win (and ISU, of course), then BYU has to also win for us to get in?
