*** Official Cincinnati vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[madguy30]

Tell you what. You try blocking 8 guys with 6 and 9 with 7 when you essentially run in a 3 yard wide box 75% of the time .

85% of our running game - is inside or split zone from 11 and 12 personnel . It might be higher. It probably is. Occasionally its a little skip pull with the guard on a G scheme, but again, between the tackles. If you incorporate that, its probably 90% or maybe higher.

Pass game. 90% in the pocket, most straight drop back with maybe 15% RPO.


Unless you have NFL offensive line - and we don't, and even they struggle with it - we are asking them to do something that they can't do which is physically dominate week in, week out.


Random a** formations is not creative its stupid.

The one thing that was and is creative is moving the pocket with a high-low read that has worked really really well early on.

Its not rocket science but there's a reason it works. Moving the pocket, changing the eyes of the defense.


The OL is easy to get blamed. But when the defense 90% of the time knows exactly what is coming from the look they get - its not easy to do.

I will forever wonder why we don't ever run outside the tackles consistently. I've seen us run toss. Its in the playbook. I've seen it. I 've seen option. but its like it disappears at some point

ISU's last offensive play got blown up by a wide 3 man front.

Someone needs to slap Campbell at halftime and tell him that we need to throw the damn ball.

 

[DSM4Cy]

The most Iowa State thing right here would be Cincy getting the first, and then somehow getting points before half.

 

[xboxfever]

I wouldn't mind giving moberly a little action here....mix it up

To do what? Hand the ball off in obvious run formations?

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Big Citrus gets stops on all 3 plays there. Nice.

 

[legi]

Our offense would open up so much more if Rocco would run the ball. It’s insanity to not allow him.

 

[CYISFLY]

Nice tackle

Dew

Dew is the moisture that forms at night when objects or the ground outside cool down by radiating, or emitting, their heat

[Thomasrickj]

A nice defensive stop just for the offense to disappoint us again and do nothing before halftime.

 

[Cyburbbalz]

Get stop here then use temporary offense to score before half.

 

[HoustonClone]

We really missed Orange last week.

 

[Rabbuk]

We are very lucky that the Cincinnati qb is dumb as hell.

 

[harimad]

7-6.

Just no Boise bowl game please.

 

[cyfanbr]

Wonder how the offense will let us down in 45 seconds.

 

[cyatheart]

3 great plays by orange

 

[pulse]

What a bounce

 

[mctallerton]

Wonder how the offense will let us down in 45 seconds.

pick 6?

 

[AlaCyclone]

This is what we get for wearing black... one of Cincy's actual school colors.

Just like the UCF Game. Neither made / make sense to me. Maybe, this menas ISU wins by 3 in heart-stopping fashion.

 

[stewart092284]

The stats are not great defensively - especially versus the run - but the corpse of our defense has held them to 10 points - thanks in part to their penalties certainly - but still - and we amazingly have a chance to in theory tie or enter the half with the lead with the mutilated carcass of roadkill for offense.

Ok, the field conditions are awful but we are stuck with it until the season ends. The coaching on the other hand has the opportunity to improve before the end of the season if they quit being so stubborn and actually make some adjustments.
