I think John Quinn didn't lose to Iowa in games that he started.
Game Thoughts SEMO
- Thread starter cyclone1209
- Start date
First play from scrimmage on offense being a false start made me bury my head in my hands and swear that I wouldn't accept the superstition that it would spell doom. Glad that Dekkers slung it around and made me forget about that issue. I thought the guys played a very clean game otherwise on offense.
Missed tackles on defense really led to some big plays for SEMO. I'll give them credit that they didn't pack it in and kept fighting. ISU was clearly the better team out there, and I think this team can win 7 more this season.

Had SEMO scored and we not respond quickly, could've gotten sideways quick.
I give credit to CMC's teams in these weird early season games: they dig in and don't fold.
Hard to complain about much today (but I'm sure the game thread proves that false lol).
O line was good, if not great. Kept the pocket clean just as they should have, run blocking could be better.
Dekkers showed good poise, decision making, an ability to throw anywhere on the field, and some touch too.
Defense was vanilla as always in the first half and gave up a lot of yards, but locked down (as always) in the second half. I'd like to see at least a little random pressure against Iowa early to keep Petras from developing any confidence from the easy 6 yard pitch and catches.

Well, then he only should have lost twice. Not the time for overachieving.
I'd guess Hok trolls will be around claiming 0-4 ish because they somehow think that happened.

If anyone pays attention to them, that's their own fault.
And Brock's for overachieving like that.
A mobile qbs that moves around and throws deep is what beats Iowa
One of the keys will be the first drives for each team. Two or three first downs for iowa state and a three and out for Iowa pretty well negates the Iowa punting advantage for a better part of the first half in a low scoring game.
Beating Iowa is all on Campbell. The players have been capable for years. Spirit of McCarney, come and be with our players.
The game plan needs improved but that meltdown last year was all player.
My dream for next Saturday would be a dedication to calling a play and just snapping it and running it quickly....no 25 clock run-down all day and multiple false starts, delays, and other procedure calls that come with a loud road game.
I'd love to see some 1st down quarterback-under-center sneaks...(and I really hope they don't do that to us...as they should have done to SDState today....an automatic 4 yards)
Man, Ohio State is so good...it's not fair.

I’m no sports psychologist, but the players always seem to be playing not to lose in the Iowa game. I want to see freaking savages with fighting spirit and smiling faces.
As others have posted, HD played incredible.
Shout out to Rocco- he had a couple of nice throws that would’ve likely gone for touchdowns if not for pass interference. The future is very bright in our QB room.

JJ Moses solved that problem in 2000 by getting off the bus in a lime green suit. We’d probably beat Iowa every year if we had a guy with that kind of swagger. At 5’6 170 it made him a legend.
Hunter’s throws look effortless. A flick of the wrist. Some of those screen passes looked like a short stop throwing to first. He was practically side arming them.
It’s a HUGE drop off at linebacker. Pursuit was straight trash by that unit. The secondary was better than I expected though. Probably should have had about 4 picks.
Was it windy? Were we intentionally kicking short? Or do we once again have a kickoff guy that can’t kick it into the end zone.
I like our chances next week, but until Campbell proves me wrong and actually finally beats iowa, I’m going to assume it’s going to be a loss.
