*** Official #4 TCU Vs #25 IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
Lots of results working for us today so far beyond obviously our gigantic win in terms of climbing the national rankings...
1. Ohio State back to the best team in Big 10...who got completely embarrassed at home by OU in a no doubter. Will be funny to listen to people rationalize why 1 loss OSU should be 4-5 spots higher than one loss team that blew them out.
2. #16 Michigan St losing, same record, far worse resume
3. Texas win gets them up to 4-4, likewise an Iowa win could get them to 5-3 and NW doesn't look as crappy.
4. #17 South Florida loses...could also potentially take them out of a BCS bowl
5. #22 WVU will move behind us
6. #20 Stanford looked like crap against a bad Oregon St, won by a point
and the weekend isn't even over yet

Wearing out, but also being held rampantly. Luckily the refs caught a few.
I've seen wild and weird offensive line play, BUT I've never seen this (the entire offensive line hit the dirt) on the endzone interception.
GameDay re-visited: Lee Corso called the ISU win. Kirky Boy didn't.
Corso was the ONLY one to make the right pick. I no longer believe he is senile.
They looked better against OU, imo.
EDIT: I got a disagree on this which made me come back to it. I thought you said best performance not defensive performance. This was definitely a better defensive performance.

The goal is to cut block the defensive line to open shallow passing lanes over the line of scrimmage (we practiced this all the time in HS). They clearly failed.
What a difference a month makes. After the Texas loss, I thought our chances of making a bowl were probably gone. And now, a month later we're tied for first in the Big 12, and are already bowl eligible, but have our sights set on much bigger things. October 2017 has to go down as the greatest month in the history of Cyclone football!
Amazing. Game ball to Spears. That kid was everywhere today.
Four and 0 since this became my game day T-shirt. You’re welcome Cyclone Nation {obligatory jimlad}

So refreshing to see the defense stop the other team at the end of the game after years of watching the ISU team piss away these tight games like clockwork. Finally someone is making plays when they have to.
This times 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 whatever that number is and double it
It means ISU can win ugly and win anywhere.. No complaints here.
What a team.
Best part is they were far from perfect today. Just tough as ****.
