*** Official Texas Vs IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***

[Die4Cy]

Wow our offense sucks tonight. The o-line picks up the blitz perfectly and our receiver drops an easy ball. Good lord.

Yup. Very out of sync. No rhythm.

 

[ThatllDoCy]

They need to do some option, and quick throws to alleviate the pressure. The Offense is not responding to it, or passing/running away from it.

 

[BigLame]

Park is bailing the pocket. Has to climb it & deal with it being tight.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Defense hasn't been great, but the offense is why we are losing. I'm baffled by why we are forcing the ball downfield on every play. It's easy for Texas, pin your ears back and go balls out towards the QB. You can't expect the Oline to do well when Texas is sure we are throwing downfield almost every play.

We are getting out coached on both sides of the Ball tonight.

No draws, no bubbles or jailbreaks, no quick swings. It’s baffling.

I hate to agree but I haven't liked playcalling at all tonight. It's my knee-jerk reaction tho so.

Manning gets an F for this game. Park is terrible, but they are not helping him out at all. When we do get a good play, we drop the damn ball. We should be up 21-14 if we play our normal game, but for some reason we stopped doing what has been working for us all year during this game. They aren't that good!!

 

[harimad]

you cant run sideways against texas. too much speed. north and south.

We can't open north-south holes against their front.

Our strength has been to hit the edge hard. Quick pitch to 32 and let him get to the outside. They've made us one-dimensional and we're scared to even try to use our best running plays now.

 

[cycloneworld]

Per Hines on twitter: 31 passes. 13 rushes. Come on Manning.

 

[HouClone]

How about an inside bubble screen? They are blitzing every pass play.

 

[KCClone1]

This has been one of the most frustrating games I can remember. It's not a beat down but somehow feels worse

 

[Prone2Clone]

This is some of the worst offensive execution and play calling I've ever seen. And I've seen some bad ****.

Lifelong ISU fan, by chance?

 

[CyArob]

This has been horrid and we're still in it

 

[ViktorLuzor]

This reminds me of games ISU has played against KU for the last 7 years. Except this time, the role of ISU is played by UT, and Cyclones get the honor of being the Jayhawks. Damn. Who is shutting down our offense more--Texas or the Clones?

 

[atlantacyclone]

Damn, this D is really keeping us in the game.

 

[UraMallas]

Our defense has been good all night.

 

[ianoconnor]

Great job out of the defense tonight. Without the idiotic somersault Texas might only have 7 points.

 

[ThatllDoCy]

You have to tip the cap to the D aside from the two dumb as $&@) penalties.

 

[jdoggivjc]

The punter was due for a piss poor punt. 60 yards every punt my ass.

 

[fsanford]

we are in field goal range!!!!

 

[ISUCY23]

Ruth has really impressed me the past 2 games.
