*** Official IOWA STATE vs #19 Clemson Cheez-It Bowl Game(Day) Thread ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
Doug Vernon's twitter page is a riot. If I hadn't seen a picture of him I would have guessed he was either a normal 19 year old or an immature 27 year old. Dude loves himself some Hooters, Chilis and Buffalo Wild Wings. Not as much as he loves pinball, though.
At this rate, it's probably going to take miles and miles of heart to win tonight.
Updates 3.0
RB1 Hall 2 time All American Cheerleader (rumor he was spotted carrying pom-poms at Spirit Walk)
WR1 Hutchinson warming up with heavily taped left thumb (lost a thumb war to Dave Andrews)
C Newell is Hotel Bootin' CFer Rumor (maybe he was just new boot goofin')
SLB Rose downgraded to OUT (Momma was LYIN' and Kathy Bates is FURIOUS)
MS Young downgraded to MISSING (went into portal but has not come out)
Defensively, we've played tons of snaps without Rose and Young this year.
This is probably a legit attempt to draw in hawk fans that will be intown this week. They will eat it up

O/U is currently 45 points. If I were a betting man, I'd go large on the under.
Clemson Defense is great to elite by almost every defensive measure (2nd in oppo points/play, 5th in yds/play, 7th in oppo yds/rush, 9th in oppo yds/pass completion, etc). However, they are a little softer in pass coverage: 35th in oppo pass completion percentage. Cyclone offense needs to avoid its unfortunate tendency of predictable running plays into the teeth of the defense for the first 3 drives and open things up with some short completions and strategically creative playcalling. Get Purdy on a roll, get him moving, get creative in getting the ball to Jirehl Brock and Jaylin Noel, put together some long drives... could make things interesting.
