Iowa is complete dogshit

I can smell it from here.

I have to say, that run is pretty impressive, but also bad execution for Iowa. But Montgomery showed great awareness.

 

[Churchillin]

Heady run by Montgomery there. A lot of RB's would have just plowed ahead for a few more yards. He kept looking for openings and found them.

 

[Churchillin]

Was not expecting Iowa State's o-line to look this good. We cannot sit back and expect our front four to get pressure. Bend-don't-break D is not going to turn out well. Will Ferentz or Parker start to bring blitzes. Sigh- highly unlikely.

 

[Churchillin]

As soon as I say that Epeneza breaks through for pressure.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Great drive there.

Can the secondary hold before half?

 

[wingsauce7]

1st half for Iowa: vanilla, conservative, under-performing, uninspired. Sounds like the typical game plan for the cyclown game.

We let these Jokers stick around for way too long and have to sweat the ending.

Iowa State is going to make a bowl this year . I thought people were too down on them ( which makes sense based on recent history ) but they've got good wideouts, solid backs , both lines look decent . Iowa has played fine other than penalties.

Yeah, but... Iowa State.

Yeah, but... Iowa State.

Honestly coming in this was the first time in my life I wasn't positive Iowa had the better talent .

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Stanley needs to learn to hit wide open receivers

ISU needs to learn to catch

I agree about this being a more talented Iowa St team than normal. If they don't make a bowl this year, I don't know when they ever will.

Wish this one was an afternoon/night game. I like this series but not while my Mounties are playing at the same time

 

[iowajerms]

I see ISU doing something they haven't done since Dan McCarney. Win more than 3 Big 12 games.

 

[podsox]

Man 45 runs hard

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Why does Iowa keep doing those shitty outside runs

It's the only thing ISU stops.

That and Stanley over throws

 

[rmilia1]

Frankly I thought this was a game Iowa was going to lose. Despite his 2 over throws Stanley has played much much better than I expected and Iowa secondary is holding up really well. Obviously not over yet but very encouraging

 

[iowajerms]

Here is the score prediction I posted on Twitter yesterday.

 

[podsox]

That was not pi either
