We can hope.Did ISU just blow their chance to put any points on the board today??
I'm gonna guess its a damned good possibility.

No argument from me, there!The BIG seems pretty shitty but I like it.
Just started in this thread not reading 20 pages. Not sure why we aren’t giving Kaleb brown 30 carries.

I get why you feel this way but ISU is still in it. I know Iowa's D is tough but one TO and this is a game in all honesty.Iowa is up 13. Might as well be a million
Still only 6 quarters of pigskin so far…Lester is 1,000 x better than BF, so I am happy right now.😎We won’t get ISU level teams the rest of the year, is the problem. And Lester has now shit his pants twice inside the five today.
Yeah - crazy!!!😜Get to NBC at half. Go Northern Illinois!
Speaking of Kaleb Brown, though, anyone seen him?Johnson
Yes! The edge is out friend!I'd also run outside right until they prove they can stop it.
Iowa State needs 3 TO’s to win this game.I get why you feel this way but ISU is still in it. I know Iowa's D is tough but one TO and this is a game in all honesty.
I was in Kinnick in 2002 so yea it's possibleIowa State needs 3 TO’s to win this game.
Yeah, I'd just go rugby ball and even give Large another carry or two. Get it inside the two and give yourself more options.Cannot BELIEVE we didn't run the ball down their throat from the 4. WTF?! Left time on the clock. Lester took his first dump as OC.
Wetjen and Kaleb Brown are my questions. Well, as well as using KJ just a bit more.Where is Wetjen on offense? No way anyone on their defense is faster than he is.
Yep. Pass on 1st, they know the run is coming on 2nd. The in-studio guys even say we have a clear advantage on the right side. Why didn't we run that way 3 times in a row? Hell...4 times. Punch it in, demoralize them.Yeah, I'd just go rugby ball and even give Large another carry or two. Get it inside the two and give yourself more options.
In hindsight, I actually would've flipped the 1st and 2nd down play calls on our last drive.
Run on 1st down, pass on 2nd down, and if you got yards on 1st down, maybe that changes the whole mindset to begin with.
You might think there's nothing wrong with taking a shot on 1st down, but you aren't moving the ball any closer to the endzone if it's incomplete. Then on 2nd down the pressure to do something begins to mount. If the run gets stuffed, well now its pretty easy to assume what's coming.
Run on 1st down, see what you get. Even if it's a nothing burger, you still have the choice of run or pass on 2nd down, and if you run it again and push the pile forward, that again keeps options open for 3rd and potentially even 4th down.
Basically it's about retaining the most options possible as you get into later downs.
Let's find out?!While there’s been some improvement from the Brian years, it still feels like Iowa doesn’t really stand a chance against the upper echelon of conference or playoff teams
Defense is very stout. Great even….but as we’ve seen against the best teams even they struggle against teams with speed and accurate QBs
Do we think the Iowa offense can get more than 25-30 points if it has to ?
That's depending on our offense. If we get 17, we win IMO. Your D has done admirably amidst the injuries. You score first here and our O doesn't score after, we got a game my friend and anything goes.Iowa State needs 3 TO’s to win this game.

#2 running ball. Should have 2 more TDs in place of 2 FGsJust got back from a grandson's JH FB game in Minnesota.
Too tired to wade through the thread.
What are we doing right, besides Defense?

Texas looks tough.So looking around the first 2 weeks college football is WIDE open this season besides Georgia. This is going to be fun. Hope you're watching Notre Dame suck right now on NBC
His upright speed isn't gonna make as much of a difference inside the 5.Why do they take Caleb Johnson out inside 5…?
Great point and I agreeTexas looks tough.
UM may be bad.Texas looks tough.
