***OFFICIAL: NDSU @ IOWA STATE GAME(DAY) THREAD!***

- Start date
I don't buy the injury excuse, but suppose it was true. That would mean that in five years CPR has built a program whose fate hinges entirely on one or two guys. A drop off from starter to backup is to be expected, but that wasn't just a drop off at those positions. It was a goddamn freefall for the whole team. And that lies at CPR' s feet.
I know, but that was 4 starters on top of the dismissals of Coe, Irving, etc. Montgomery and Ecby not playing. I mean, we were already pretty thin at depth. Not saying that was the only factor for us losing, but it definitely contributed. Our leading wide receiver and starting center are pretty big positions. I mean we were up 14-0 and gaining 7yds per carry. After Farniok went out, we were only gaining 2yds per carry. That makes a difference.
Then, of course, the freak tipped passed interceptions. It seems like every INT on Richardson last year was off of a tipped pass. Same **** again this year. I don't know what to think...
*sigh* I know, I know... Just trying to make ANY sense of this debacle. What hurts is not the margin of victory, but rather that all their points were unanswered. Crazy.
My apologies everyone. My cardinal shades ensured that I was one of the last ones to realize the **** show we were preparing to watch for the rest of the game.

Considering they were favored, no. I think this was expected. Maybe not a 20 pt **** kicking though.
What part of this performance makes you think ISU is the better team? We could list the ways NDSU was the superior team, but I don't have all day to type that out. We can boil it down and say ISU was the inferior team on offense, defense and special teams.
How do you remove the coach from your assessment of the team?
It's very very obvious NDSU was the superior team today
If we HAVE to play FCS why not Incarnate Word... they are turrible. UNI should never be on our schedule again at this rate. Spend our $1 million on a win and if that FCS team wins three National Championships in three years, you buy that team out and pay someone else.
As for Iowa. Play Rice or UTEP... their great seasons are typically a fluke. A home and away with either of those teams has so much more value than Iowa ever could have.
