Incarnate Word season watch thread

[demoncore1031]

This team has a very small linebacker group and their DL is somewhat small. Secondary is tall though. They are quick, do a good job forcing turnovers and average more than 7 tackles per loss per game. With our massive size advantage we should be able to run them over, but then again I wouldn't really count on our o-line even against an FCS team.

Incarnate has some talent on offense. Their QB sucks. He's a decent runner but in the passing game he couldn't hit sand if he fell off a camel. They only have 1 big WR and don't throw to their TE's. They rely on speed, which is not in their favor against ISU unless they get their run game going and force us to stack the box. Their starting RB averages 147 ypg and 10 yards per carry. Yikes! He's also a good receiver.

This team is really not very good. I'm calling it now, ISU 52 Incarnate 3

So your extensive research led you to the outcome that all the rest of us already had? Thanks for scouting

I think they should cancel the game if we have less than 5 wins and no bowl bid possibly

Maybe it's just hyperbole, but if the game is cancelled we get one less week of practice. I don't care if they play only freshmen and sophomores, we should still have the game for the sake of next season.

 

[Raiders70]

Just a reminder if they make the FCS playoff, we will not play them. Root for them to lose

I can't believe people are looking forward to this game.

 

[huntt26]

I say play it and start any underclassmen that this staff might start or play a lot of next year.

I agree with you, but it will be the seniors (and possibly Montgomery & Butler) last game (if no bowl). I don't think Matt would just sit those guys if we're at 4 or less wins going into this game.

While we’re at it, any season should be stopped once 7 losses are hit. Sure, it makes improving the next year harder, but I’d hate to see seniors get forced into playing their last games and the younger guys lose out on offseason fun.

Looking forward to, and just hoping it happens are different

It will be worse if we have 5 wins and get beat by Incarnate Word and miss a bowl. That would be so ISU.

The loss would be by missing a field goal as time expired.....

 

[dirtyninety]

Wierd as in-- nobody watching the game from the upper deck?

That would be some of the wierd....how about nooone outdoors? A few lonely faces staring out into the mist and gloom from the Sukup south end zone glass windows. A few band parents with ponchos and parkas on. empty upper decks. The week run-up from our awesome marketing department promising lots of "sweet Caroline" songs played and free pizza for any students who will show up. I suppose we could have a Christmas theme and give out cyclone colored santa hats to the students that are not engineers and don't have to study that have nothing better to do. Does anyone doubt we will be roundly mocked nation wide if we play this game and we have less than 5 wins? Again, this is all wierd.....but I love wierd and being a cyclone fan is awesome.

If we're 5-6 at the end of the season, you're damn right I'm looking forward to it.

They won’t make the fcs playoffs. Lol

I appreciate the optimism Khardbored.....this quote is eerily similar to quotes offered up too frequently by CPR prior to 2012 LIBERTY BOWL. The one against Tulsa. That set our program back 5 years.

And every other coach in college football

 

[khardbored]

No coach in his right mind is going to turn down an extra week of practice. That's all I'm saying.

 

[ribsnwhiskey]

Nice to see the nut jobs out in full force. I mean, it isnt like we’ve played good defenses or anything. Have fun shooting animals,crazy.

 

[CyCloned]

I can't imagine ISU losing this game or going 3-8. ISU hasn't started out very well this year, but it isn't like they have been playing the little sister's of the poor so far either. Offense needs to step it up a bunch, but there is some talent there, just need to figure out how to use it.

Why? I personally like beating ****** teams into submission with our backups.

Yeah, it is too bad they don't have MN, NW, NU, Rutgers, and IL on their schedule too.

 

[bsaltyman]

I don’t care what our record is or if we have 2 feet of snow on December 1st. I’ll be there to cheer on the Cyclones and enjoy some tailgating!

Incarnate Word wins again. They lead their conference at 3-0. And they are scoring lots of points. That could be an interesting game yet. I have no doubt ISU wins, but it could be something like 60-31 or so.
