And that's why Iowa State is Iowa State

good job

ISU got jobbed on that 2nd down spot, but the next two play calls were terrible. Why go from the shotgun?

 

[Senor Martinez]

They won the 1st half, though.

That overturn the refs did on the td catch was the difference. Refs cost them this one. Sad that officiating is that bad to overturn a td catch on replay. Funny that replay can screw you now.

Should've measured on that second down pass. Thought he had it. Playcalling after it was classic ISU though.

I thought he had it too, but ISU got a terrible, terrible spot

 

[CoachRickVice]

So proud of them.

 

[unsubstantiated]

It's almost like they knew beating Ok St would help the Hawkeyes...

 

[Wordel]

Chokers be chokers.

 

[ih8iast8]

They certainly tricked me into cheering for them for 3 quarters...silly clowns.

 

[hawkeye54545]

I think Coach PR earned himself a lifetime contract by winning 3 quarters of that game. Please!?

after watching the 3rd and 1 call by ISU, I understand why Mangino was on a different page than Rhoads

That was a head scratcher. 3rd and inches in 4 down territory. That call alone should get him canned.

Coaches sent in the play thinking it was first down, since it should have been. Changed the call when they saw the spot, but Lanning didn't catch the change.

And you are right, that's why Iowa State is Iowa State.

Got screwed by the zebras on several other occasions. The key time may have been on OSU's last scoring drive. They're in their own territory, third-and-eleven, throw an incomplete pass. VERY late flag, false start, gave them another chance and they picked up the first down, went on to score the game winner.

However........despite the screwing, that happened because ISU let them pick up third-and-sixteen, one of nearly a dozen -- I am not exaggerating -- times OSU converted third-and-long situations. Also, Lanning played well but missed half a dozen wide open receivers, including one sure touchdown.

 

[Pepperman]

LC, sorry ISU didn't win yesterday and maybe they could / should have. But as you know, if Iowa wins out it doesn't matter anyway. I'd personally like to see 3-9 Rhodes stay forever.

I'm sorry you guys lost. I saw the first quarter, and was impressed with lanning's scrambling, and the play of your D.

The only time I want the Cyclones to lose is when they play the Hawks. Otherwise, I root for them (and any other schools from our state).

Finally murderers row is over. It's amazing that 6 of the 10 teams we've played were unbeaten when we played them. That doesn't mean much early in the season, but of the early opponents Iowa is still unbeaten and Toledo stayed unbeaten until last week. Oklahoma was not one of those unbeaten teams when we played, but based on how those teams played Iowa State, Oklahoma was the toughest opponent on the day we played them. This may be the toughest schedule in Iowa State history, but we also let a win or two get away. Yesterday Warren getting hurt in the 3rd quarter really hurt. He never ran the ball again, except for that failed 4th down run.

I was cheering for ISU pretty hard, admittedly because it would help Iowa, but also because they were playing really well against a really good team. Lanning looks very good.

Iowa's the best ISU will play all year and it's not even close.

I guess this goes down as another be careful what you wish for. I know back when we did not have reviews, I would rant and rave about getting jobbed on some lousy call and wishing there were a way to review. Now, the more they use it and for ridiculous calls along with wasting so much time, I wish sometimes it would just go away. Yea, there may be times I would regret that, but it seems to have gotten out of hand at times.
