*** Official #14 IOWA STATE vs UNLV Game(Day) THREAD ***

[Die4Cy]

Will McDonald is the most held man in America again tonight.

 

[Fishhead]

At least these refs know how to call a holding penalty. Not convinced if Oklahoma was our opponent that those would be called

 

[AgronAlum]

Can we steal their punter?

 

[byebye]

Noel gonna break one before the end of the night

 

[madguy30]

Noel's got the feet and speed to make something happen back there.

I wonder how long that's been really really obvious.

 

[jdoggivjc]

I like the color commentator.

The broadcast certainly isn't bad for an off-channel in terms of how they're calling it.

 

[CloneGuy8]

McDonald will break out first round drought next year

 

[CentexCyclone]

I get that UNLV is bad, but some of the things we've all been asking to see are there. Getting the ball to playmakers in space, some flow to play calls. Not perfect, but steps in the right direction. Hopefully it carries over when going into the conference season.

Why can't we play a cream puff like UNLV the first game of the year to work out the kinks, then take on UNI and the TOE?

 

[HFCS]

He lost his balance from the spinning.

 

[Skyh13]

It's like if you just quickly get the ball to your playmakers they'll make a play.

And that TD looked like it could have been much easier with a quicker throw.

That’s perhaps Purdy’s biggest weakness. He doesn’t have a particularly strong arm, but the real problem is the fact that he doesn’t make decisions on throws anywhere close to fast enough. That’s part of the reason why every deep ball he throws is a jump ball. He waits too long.

 

[CyCloned]

he's mostly just getting targets.

He is catching it and running well after that. He had a rough game against Iowa.

 

[t-noah]

HaHa, John Walters: "Will McDonald gets held more than my daughter's phone!"

 

[FerShizzle]

He tends to get tough YAC and get N/S pretty well but not sure of speed.

ya. but i think that is more about how ISU uses him. short throws under the sticks and let him muscle the DBs.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Hutch having himself a game

 

[ianoconnor]

Really wanted Hutch to pitch that to Breece there. He's probably housing it ha.

 

[harimad]

Pitch the ball to Breece after that catch, and he had a TD.

 

[dosry5]

Kolar td plz

 

[NWICY]

Well shucks on that hold, to nullify the TD

 

[CY88CE11]

That was a great throw to Hutch. If he can step into his throws and be decisive, he can get back some of what he's lost.

 

[FerShizzle]

how can you hold on a 2 second drop?
