What foolish statement are you calling me out on? I'm pretty sure you post here other than Iowa game week and foolish / delusional would describe some of the posts. I will venture a guess this is the highlight of your day. In all seriousness - that's sad. I hope things change or get better for you. If the Hawks lose this week I will take solace that you will feel good vs. how you may react to a loss. Remember it's a game and you don't need our approval.
I think maybe you should look in the mirror after drawing 59K for Illinois State where a large portion of the U of I student population comes from. ISU just opened an expanded stadium that sold out the 1st two games. I am all for cancelling the series with Iowa. ISU gets very little from it.
This game subsidizes your juco program. You will be in the big sky conference if we ever dump you.
Be careful there as ISU plays a schedule with a pulse. So when did you graduate from Iowa?
I was having a little fun with you guys.
Fair question.
A few things they could do to neutralize Ott. The short passing game, obviously. Those quick hitters and slants and pitch-outs to the WRs in the flats take away the pass rush because the ball is out in 2 seconds or less and it basically becomes 4 on 7 or 5 on 7 depending on if ISU goes empty or has a RB. And if you're going to one side that basically cuts the defense in half in terms of being able to react to the initial pass. It then falls on the DBs and LBs in coverage to make plays/break up passes at some point before the opponent reaches the endzone......
). He bullrushed right by the Illinois State OTs early and often, but what that also creates is a lane to step up in the pocket or a hole for the RB if the rest of the DL/LBs do not adjust their containment. Or they could also just more often than not attack Meier and Bazata and see if they're capable of making the Cyclones think twice about picking on them.
You should probably talk to your university about that. They don't seem to think so. In fact they'd be raging up a storm in the state's capital if Iowa threatened to halt the series before the current contract expires.
And that is where you don't seem to have a clue. ISU does not need Iowa on the schedule and certainly being from a P5 conference that does quite well financially, ISU should look South and West to replace Iowa on the schedule.
Umm, well because that's one less win you're potentially getting, of course......
Bailout response after another one of your idiotic statements.
I was surprised by that also. Hard to bench a returning starter and senior for a newcomer. Bailey was elusive and hit some screen passes early, but ISU seemed to close that off pretty early in the game. They probably should have tried Kollmorgen earlier, but I'm not sure it would have made much difference.
Kollmorgen was the starter two years ago when UNI won at ISU. It was very surprising to see them go with Bailey, and to stick with him until the game was out of reach. Bailey was very effective with his running, though.
Those 5 sacks on Richardson the other night were all coverage sacks. We're hearing Richardson was being coached to stay in the pocket, rather than take off running when his first and second options aren't open.
Another cool story. More and more Iowa fans (kids who live in state) are attending Iowa State. Wanna know how much that affects the Iowa State football program or helps to make Iowa State as a university better than Iowa?
