ISU-Kent State Postgame thread

just speaking the truth man

Your personal truth, which translates into opinion. It is your opinion, not a truth. No one knows what the truth is.

I believe ISU has the superior football staff, but I don't present that as a truth; it is a belief.

Be prepared for Iowa fans to spout a lot of crap this week. We're averaging 46 points, but allowing 22 points a game. They've yet to allow a touchdown this season, and they're averaging 44 points a game. However, they're doing this while also keeping defense numbers low. No easy turnovers that bail them out of tough situations.

I know it's early, but I thought this about Kansas last year. "Oh, it's early, they're making a feast out of the cupcakes, they'll be exposed in the conference games."

This is the perfect opportunity to take them by surprise... they seem to lose very frequently when they're full of confidence, but they will be taking our offense very seriously. We have an offense, they have an offense. They have a defense, and right now, we don't. SDSU was a great showing until the last moments, but Kent State exposed some very troubling weaknesses. I fully expect next weekend to be a close game, but I'm erring on the side of a "loss". They'll be looking for payback for last year, and it's in Iowa City. If we can snag a win, AWESOME. I can't wait!

it doesnt matter who they played or who we played... doesnt matter what either teams record is. why? because it's always a good game!! we could be a winless team and they could be a top 10 team and it would still be a good game.

We played an OK game. Our defense needs some help against the run, and our offense needs to learn to run the ball a little more effectively. Good win. Next week will be a tough game against the Hawks no matter how you swing it.

Our offensive line couldn't seem to do anything in the 4th when we were just wanting to run the ball. Hopefully that'll change by next weekend.

I think it was scales more than the O-line but thats just me.

thats a good point! yes it is my opinion... i'm not badmouthing our coaching staff at all. i hate the hawks but they are very well coached. so are we, but we got a new staff and alot of young players. all the young playes we have is a good thing for the future, but you all saw some of the mistakes made. iowa does not make those mistakes. chizik will make damn sure this does not happen next week so it's all good

i agree but i would have liked to watch the game to see for sure

 

[ISUFan22]

we WILL beat iowa...

Um...which is it? You posted this just moments ago....

i dont think we are ready for the hawks yet

and iowa has an amazing D

yes but iowa has a better coaching staff and alot of talent on defense... we have too many question marks.

all the teams i mentioned look horrible this year.

:biglaugh:

How many of them have you watched play? And still...no reply on our last road win.

 

[demoncore1031]

i know this is 2 weeks away, but how is UNLV? i saw they were playing utah tough but i dont know much about them

You need to spend more time in the Political cave. Lots of guys think they have the "truth" there.

I like where we are at after 2 games this year. We could use some more rushing, but as a whole, I think we look alot better than last year.
That being said, I am hoping that we can split the next two games. I think winning them both will be a stretch, because our youth will likely show on the road. (even more so than in the 1st two games.)
The game next weekend should be a good one. I think both teams have reason to be confident coming in, but neither team is perfect either.

cant ya read? we are not yet ready for iowa but we will be by next week... we looked like crap tonight but that helped us know what to work on in practice... know what im sayin?

[demoncore1031]

who cares about our last road win... this is a new season

 

[demoncore1031]

and i have seen most of them play... watched colorado, they suck.. watched a&m, they suck... havent seen nebraska but not impressed

 

[CycloneWarrior]

this reminds me of 2005. We had an ugly win against Illinois state and Iowa absolutely obliterates ball state. Then we come in and man handle Iowa.Today ugly win against kent state, Iowa destroys fiu. Looks like 05. Beat the Hoks

 

[Bobber]

Wish we could have stopped their run better, but a win is a win and this team did beat us last year.:sad:

Hopefully we can learn some more from this game, cut down on errors and improve our run game. Bates had some amazing runs and not sure who will start against Iowa?

Special Teams are totally different from a year ago.

2-0 baby....:smile:

my point exactly... doesnt matter who does what, it's always a good game

 

[demoncore1031]

how many rush yds did bates have?

 

[gocubs2118]

People should just be happy. Last at this time we were calling Chizik's head after a 0-2 start.

 

[CycloneWarrior]

Bates had 88 rushing yards
