*****Iowa St vs Iowa Game Thread****

Just started in this thread not reading 20 pages. Not sure why we aren’t giving Kaleb brown 30 carries.

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.
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.

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.
 
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 ?

Let's find out?!
 
Iowa State needs 3 TO’s to win this game.
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.

You guys just can't commit another TO or else it's bleak.
 
Just 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?

Do I think Iowa State scores 3 times in this game? No. Not at all. Are you a CBS executive trying to keep people tuned in?
