*** Official IOWA STATE vs #19 Clemson Cheez-It Bowl Game(Day) Thread ***

[CycloneErik]

I’m a bit nervous since Hall, Rose, and Young won’t be playing.

I'm pessimistic with an "I've doubted before (1st win @ Oklahoma win) and been wrong before, so why the heck not" approach.

 

[SolarGarlic]

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

Yeah, I'm sure that's the play.

Doug isn't thinking past tonight's pinball game.

Good call. I will be satisfied, if we JUST don't let them score a TD in the last minute of the half.

 

[Cyched]

This captured so much so well. Would definitely read again.

I've also noticed that seeing an ISU e-mail address when I deliver food automatically means there's no tip on this mission. It's not our best feature.

You deliver food now?

I tip generously.

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.

Brock needs to get 100 yds. New player. No video on him.

Covid protocols? Injuries? Combo of both?

Looks like a decent combo of both.

 

[Cyched]

Looks like a decent combo of both.

I've changed my mind for today's game. These strict protocols are a great idea.

 

[CapnCy]

Sounds super cliche.....but Purdy needs to play one of his good games...not a "turn it on second half" good, but overall above average all game. I also think Jihrel will have a coming out party tonight....he may not have the same vision as breece just yet, but feed him the ball and let him earn some yards!

I have faith Heacock will at least keep Clemson honest on offense.

No Rose? I'm sure it's here somewhere, but why?

 

[CyGuy5]

Does it seem weird to anyone else that players transferring out of the program at at the bowl game watching the team they quit on?

 

[NodawayRiverClone]

Looks like a decent combo of both.

And transfer portal.
