Their qb was atrocious in the second half. Poor red zone decisions; a one man turnover machine.
Ya, early in da season, and beat 2 top 5 teams since then.
Do your job iowa, redeem your season and beat ohio state
and help iowa state out too,win win those fans are inside, the end zone club was sold out, it was crowded. you can sit in your seat outside or sit inside and watch in the tvs, many fans chose to stay inside, especially at the start of the second half.
On paper, a good win. But no top 5 team's offense is going to get shut out by ISU's defense. It's good, but not the '85 Bears.
The Big XII hasn't been in the CFP for a reason. They've also had the fewest draft picks for a reason.

ISU's defense has allowed 20 points in the last 14 quarters: 4 quarters against Kansas, yes, but also 4 against Texas Tech and TCU, and 2 quarters against Oklahoma, In addition, 6 of those points came when ISU gave Tech the ball on the 7 yard line (they cored a TD but missed the PAT).
Texas Tech, Oklahoma and TCU are NOT bad offensive teams.
I conceded your defense is good. I'm just not convinced TCU is/was a top 5 team.
I understand transitive property is rarely a good measure, but a rather anemic Iowa offense scored more than twice as many points on ISU than two top 5 teams combined. I can buy teams getting better as the season goes on, but your defense didn't suddenly open a can of spinach like Popeye...
I don't know What teams are definitely top 5, although I'd be tempted to put Alabama in that category.
ISU has almost single-handledly destroyed the chances of the Big XII getting a team in the playoff, and the Pac-12 doesn't have any worthy candidates, either. Alabama is in. Ohio State will get in because it's Ohio State; dittoes for Notre Dame. So the question is who #4 will be.
To clean up the last post, I forgot Oklahoma wasn't part of that "20 points". Error on my part.
As for the playoffs, I do think ISU has single handedly submarined the Big XII. They'll need some help to get there this year
Is there a quota on how many times you need to post about this each week? Good Lord. Yes, they paid him a bunch of money. Are you concerned that posters here don't know how you feel about the subject? Here, let me help. WE GET IT..........
Do you happen to have my stats handy, MR CAPSLOCK? Cuz if not, then even if I did set a quota for myself, you would never know.

Of course, we should all over look OU going into Columbus and thumping The Ohio State University- right?
What is to explain, he has a perspective and I tend not to agree with it. I watched the game and OU totally dominated OSU in Columbus.
That bush league play probably won them the game. Instead of throwing a pick on the out route a couple plays later, I'm guessing TCU punches it in from the 3 there.
Cheating does pay off kids.
