UNI beats ISU 25-20

giphy.gif
 
Iowa will sit back in their usual defense, not blitz, and let ISU dink and dunk, building confidence until their OL looks good and their QB looks like Peyton Manning. I hope this year is different and we destroy them from the get go.
 
Campbell had a very good, no bullsh*t presser.

He talked about the reality of the program - they aren't a good enough ball club to overcome the mistakes that they made, that its not okay to lose these games with the fanbase they have, and that the fans are great.

I watched it all. Wasn't impressed.

Must be a different fan base that he was talking about.

After watching the game today it will come down to Lazzard vs Mabin… 40 times.
This is likely the early plan. Until Mabin can get his shit together, he's going to need to have safety help the entire game. The biggest difference might be the ISU OL is horrible so we might have a better pass rush to help the secondary.

The other X factor is Iowa should rush for 300+ yard next week which will minimize ISU possessions.
 
I just want to remind everyone that we are 2 seasons removed from losing to ISU (2 times in a row in Iowa City) as part of their 2 win season and possibly only power 5 win that year. That was as shocking of a loss as it gets so nothing should be taken for granted.

A loss that could've been prevented with Beathard had Ferentz not been so stubborn with Rudock

He's right you guys. We have to stay focused and keep our composure. 1 game at a time.

We're going to crush ISU.

In Mabin's defense the safeties never helped him over the top in zone coverage plays. Snyder got lit up big time on at least 2 big plays including the corner TD grab in the 2nd qtr I believe.
 
I think we will be significantly better with Jewell, but as we knew before the season we need consistant QB pressure and it's just not there. Our run defense leaked like a sieve.

We need to make a significant jump in quality based on the way we played yesterday. We are in real trouble with a d line injury or two.

Yep, Snyder was late. He needs to get better which I'm sure will happen.
 
Obviously it's still early for Campell, but maintaining success when inheriting a winning tradition vs. building one are entirely different beasts. See Todd Lickliter as exhibit A.
 
Of the entire Ferentz era I think Iowa showed up once with their act entirely together and demolished the 'clones in Ames. During the time when arnaud was their QB.
They've lost to some complete crap teams several times before. It can certainly happen again.

Thats what i was guessing w/o being able to see the entire field, if they were in zone snyder was a liability
 
Where's the litany of Cy-Posters that are here all summer univited and unwanted boasting all things ISU, Campbell, the Big 12 is amazing, the mega millions Cycline TV is bringing with their national TV audience, storms are brewing, greatest O-Line coach in the nation in Manning, yada-yada-yada, etc.

Lone Clone, CyCity, etc????? Totally quiet.
