*** Official #18 IOWA STATE vs #13 Miami Pop-Tarts Bowl Game(Day) Thread ***

Yet he only has 10 more yards passing and should have 1 turnover to his name, more than Rocco after the first snap of the game. They keep emphasizing how Restrepo is out after every play, but only mentioned Higgins at the beginning of the game. I had to mute the game. If you had no video, you’d think Miami was up by 100 points.

I don't think they have even mentioned Porter or Verdon's names at all.

Is Flora #2 RB & Sama down to 3 now? Kinda feels that way.

CW talking a lot about the rumor that Cam Ward might not play in the 2nd half.

I will believe that when I see it.

Honestly not sure why people are all that concerned about the outcome of this game. These bowl games don’t matter at all anymore, it’s just bonus football to watch.

We'll if this was the difference between 8-4 and 7-5 like a regular year, maybe, but we have never had 11 wins so I DO want to win this one.

The bugle logo will continue until morale improves

Brutal response.

Sama has been in a lot but only 1 carry. I do like Flora though.

I so want that pop tarts trophy in Ames.

Exactly, he will keep playing u til they put the game away.
He really has low chance of getting hurt. He has all day with no pressure

I’m guessing the next few days will clarify a lot with this team. Just speculation.

Man it sucks to have all the LB injuries, onyedim transferring, AND Porter/Verdon/Freyler out. Our backups just can’t hang with Miami’s speed.

100%

Particularly losing Porter/Verdon/Freyler

Ward sitting in the pocket and dumping to his outlet, like on the play he stood still, is a win. That was 3 rushers on 6 blockers though. It looks bad, but we need more of that imo

Bad Rocco...

 

[FerShizzle]

Lot of contact there?

 

[ISU_Guy]

may have had a touchdown there with Noel with a better throw

 

[cycloneworld]

Too much punting.

 

[isuno1fan]

Here comes the snowball.

 

[simply1]

Not ideal

 

[acoustimac]

Well…that entire possession was as bad as the defense

 

[ISU_Guy]

Here is where the pull away starts. Again
We recruiting a punter?

Edit: Cam not playing

 

[jaj040]

Absolute shoot out with 0 defense and we go 3 and out to start the half lol

 

[cycloneworld]

Rocco has been decent but he misses so many basic throws each game.
