Surprised by how much more talent has than us
- Thread starter IGoState
- Start date
Yet Iowa fielded a kick-off going out of bounds at their one, drove 97 yards, etc... big play after big play throughout the game.
By now you should recognized CPR Ball and its influence on creating talent issues.
Iowa looks like a bunch of well-schooled, disciplined, overachievers that played very hard today. We played incompetent CPR Ball
Let's not forget all of the injuries Iowa had today. They were missing their 2 best receiving TE's (Duzey and Kittle although Kittle played like 3 snaps) and 2 of their power backs (Daniels(only played a quarter and a half) and Mitchell). Plus Ott only played a quarter and they has a RS FR play the rest of the time. Both teams are actually better than I thought. Our Defense is built to stop Big-12 offenses and hopefully our young RB's will get better so we can get some balance on offense. Hopefully Tucker is okay.
If you understood the safety's role in modern football, you'd know that his job to not get thrown over no matter how far downfield the receivers go.
Vandeberg is not a walk-on
the only walk-on was #52 the starting LT
ISU has decent WRs, especially Lazard but lacks depth on both interior lines and LBs. Iowa lost their best defensive player and still played better in the 2nd half. ISU didn't after losing their DL to a lower leg injury.
The last 7 don't count. The game was over after Richardson's pick.
And our defense gave up that first TD of the third quarter, forced a 3-and-out, forced another punt, forced a turnover, and our offense did nothing with it. Our defense was great today. A few big plays and a lack of offense killed us.
Iowa wanted him as a walk-on, and he agreed to join the program as such until a scholly opened up at the last minute.
Arguing with someone that wants to refer to him as a "walk-on" is pretty dumb.
Is that why there aren't ever any big passing plays in football these days?
By pure luck, not because the coaches wanted to give him one.
It's like saying that Boone Myers isn't a walk-on because he has a scholarship now. It's disingenuous and shows a lack of understanding of the recruiting process.
Why are you and your buddy matty here? Trying to police the spread of misinformation about your hawkeyes?
Grey shirting is not walking on. Speaking of not understanding the recruiting process.
I'll just leave this stat (that I've left a few other places)... ISU held the ball for 4 minutes and 5 seconds of the 4th quarter... That Defense was gassed.
