Lazard didn't "torch" anybody. Had 1 impact play all game....the 39 yarder to set up the FG. Besides that he was contained....no YAC.
Great player but he was held in check..

If Iowa's back 7 can hold every team's star receiver to <100 yards and 0 TD's and allow the rest of the team around 50 yards, I'm going to consider it a successful outing on their part.Iowa's leading WR last year averaged 50 ypg, Lazard has 96 yards through 3 quarters and got "held in check". Lol

Man I hope you're right. Looking pretty salty right now with two top 10 teams left in this meat-grinder though.Without looking I'm guessing you won't face another WR as good as Lazard and over half of your remaining games shouldn't have as bad as offense as ISU's which is saying something given your schedule
King only allowed 3 passes to his side for a total of 11 yds.
Mabin did pretty good against Lazard. And yes Half of Lazards yards came when the game had already been decided but he is a good receiver. He will probably get drafted in the middle to late rounds. Iowa put Niemann on Lazard when he was in the slot.
Your standard for getting "torched" is a lot less than mine I guess.He had 6 catches for 98 yards in three quarters against your starters. How is that not getting torched? You must have ridiculously high standards for WRs. Plus the play you referenced was all YAC.

If that's the case, Vandeberg set off a thermo-nuclear device in the clone secondary.

Yes they will. Lazard is good but people need to come to earth a little bit. He's not incredibly dynamic and he does drop balls. Again, he's very good, but he's not elite at this point.
Hence "the besides that" comment.
AL went 4/75ish vs. Mabin, 1/10ish vs. Bower, 1/10ish vs. King, 1/13ish vs. Jackson.
On all but one of his catches vs. Mabin he ran either screens or very quick hitches. He had the fly pattern late for a nice 35ish yard reception but that's the only damage he did the entire game downfield. There were at least a few throws his way that Mabin did break up. And on the screen he broke long he got run down from behind by our 235 lb. LB. And there were at least three passes in his hands that he dropped.
AL is good. That's about it. He's scored 0 TDs in 8 quarters against Iowa, to say he "torched" anything is just silly.
