Great analysis from UCONN homers. It will make it even sweeter when ISU kicks the **** out of them. :yes:
I'm pretty pumped, this could be a pretty exciting weekend for me in general and seeing this team prove they are for real could put it over the top!
I won't go that far but I do think our secondary has some serious talent. I don't get how this loser thinks that the 1 trick pony QB from UCONN is going to do anything. The kid couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat. Pathetic.
I like em both! LJ and Reeves played man-up against McNutt and Davis Saturday and won their battles more often than not. McNutt will probably get a chance to play on Sundays and Davis is very talented as well. Add in that Reeves about 8 or 9 inches in height to either of them and it shows me that we have a solid set of corners. Iowa also has a QB that has thrown a TD pass against an FBS defense.
He hasn't figured out yet that's what happens just about every time we win at home. Not to worry - he'll get used to it.
Hey JHudd - I was going to see if you wanted to head down to Cuzzy's tonight for the game, but I had a feeling you were in Kuwait b/c I haven't seen/spoken to you in quite awhile. Hope all is well man & thanks for serving. If there's anything I can do for you here in Chaska while you're away, please let me know.
GO CYCLONES!!!
Paul Allen said on KFAN (Twin Cities) yesterday morning that he fully expects UConn to roll right over us tonight. His sidekick (forget his name) is also a huge Hawkeye fan and was talking about how embarrassing that loss was for the Hawkeyes last weekend.......give me a break.
Time to prove them wrong boys.

Actually, I wouldn't call their QB a one-trick pony. He guy has many tricks up his sleeve - they just usually involve a basketball hoop or a garbage can. And I do think he could hit water if he fell out of a boat - that's the kind of thing that seems to be in his repertoire. What isn't, so far as I can tell, is the ability to hit an open receiver on the football field.
Just think how embarrassed the hawks would be if ISU didn't fumble the ball away to keep them in the game. They were lucky to not be down by 21 in that game. Listened to Dolphin yesterday before CW came on in Eastern Iowa and he was claiming that Iowa only lost because one of their DBs got sick and couldn't play...............
Yeah, it is hell to lose in your second game when you want to play on New years Day and ride the float.Just think how embarrassed the hawks would be if ISU didn't fumble the ball away to keep them in the game.

UCONN has a pretty solid D-line that plays very aggressive. They are going to try and get up the field quick and I think that will play right into ISU's hands. Anybody else see us hit on some screen passes, a few delayed shovel passes, and some quick slants across the middle last week? Those are the plays that will absolutely kill an over agressive defensive front as they won't be able to get to the QB but will get themselves out of position which leaves our skill positions players with the ball in their hands into the second level already. I look for ISU to hit some big plays due to UCONN being too aggressive. If Jantz can keep some plays alive like he did last week the UCONN secondary is going to have their hands full all game long.
Another thing to keep in mind is the massive size advantage our tackles have over the UCONN defensive ends. If they can control those corners and get Rabbit to the outside lookout....

heres an article from someone at the connecticut post predicting the game. they are giving the uconn running game advantage over us b/c we gave up over 200 yds to UNI. last time i checked UNIs QB was far better and more mobile than anything UConn has.
he predicts a 24-21 UConn win
