ISU -Iowa Post Game Thread

Congrats to the Clones. I am frustrated, but ISU was clearly the better team on the field. I was extremely impressed with Bowen again and Meyer had a great command. You have to feel good for your kicker.
My thoughts, exactly. On that final drive, I really had confidence that Meyer could make something happen for the Clones based on the leadership he'd shown all day. And he did! That pass to Bates was not only beautiful, but a really smart play based on the coverage. I hope this version of Meyer shows up for the rest of our games this year. :yes:
I predicted we'd lose, 35-0. Let me just tell you, crow never tasted so good! :yes:
The shoe is on the other foot now,
Iowa can use the "we won the second half" argument and they can have exclusive use of it from now on as far as I'm concerned. Hope we never have to use it again.

What a Beautiful way for Chizik to start his tenure at ISU!!! The future is definitely bright...WAY TO GO SHAGGY
Actually, I thought we won the game in spite of Meyer. He continues to carry the ball just asking to fumble it...and he did. He has learned nothing since the Houston Bowl fumble. Other teams will have that scouted you bet.
His check downs in the second half to worthless 2 yard pass plays were dangerous. Don't even throw the ball if the guys are covered like they are on the checkdowns.
He continues to telegraph with his eyes and head direction when on many plays...Fortunately, the hawk d-back was slow and/or stupid on some of those obvious 3rd down outs to JJ Sumerall and let him get the pass. A good corner will not.
His deep throws were uninspiring, except of course the great one to BAtes at end.
I guess the most disturbing is his running effort. His first two runs of game were great and indeed great decision making and done with vigor, but after that it was same old ankel-tackle Brett. I wish he would run like Christensen did, especially since he is a Senior, with some abandon.
I suggest a rotating QB system with Austin, ever other series. I think that will get both quarterbacks thriving.
Alvin Bowen is the real deal though. I had been thinking he was the product of poor d-line and HAD to make all those tackle opportunities. I say recruit more Gymnasts and wrestlers!

Hats off to the Cyclones
Totally outplayed the Hawks today for a well earned first victory of the Chizik era. :notworthy:

I thought Meyer played great today within the system the coaches set up for him. They didn't try to ask him to do too much and other than that horrific opening drive of the 2nd half he didn't make many mistakes.
