It is still a Hawkeye State

Iowa didn’t play a nearly flawless, clean game. Far from it. They had two blown coverages that led to Iowa State’s only points of the game. They kept running the ball out of heavy sets on 3rd and 1 when everyone in the world other than the Iowa coaching staff knew that wouldn’t work. They effed up the clock management at the end of the first half, forcing them to settle for a FG instead of trying for a TD. Stanley had a couple misses to open receivers on what would have been big plays. Iowa’s defenders missed several of Purdy’s throws that should have been intercepted. Etc.
The blow coverages were because your secondary sucks. You guys are going to have teams that are going to exploit that better than we did.
 
Must have missed those "fair and open" posts.
Boy another one where I just made fun of Iowa:
Not saying it's going to happen yet since it's so early but that's a real positive type of thing for Iowa's win column going forward. They got the W on a coin flip style game and could be the favorites in the West. TBH, should be favorites in about 6 of their last 9 games.
 
Off topic but you and I are good, did you see what happened to the FL doosh QB? Hate injuries but as soon as he got replaced FL looked better.
Yea, kind felt sorry for Kentucky. They had that game...

Never want a kid hurt but have to agree....he’s a douche.

Like I said, I must have missed those posts which this one does fit.
So do you disagree with this, because I really don’t.
The only thing about that is that Stanley threw what easily could have been 2 picks, it was just lucky the ISU defenders failed to make the play. But overall Stanley and Brock both played similarly well. Neither one was head and shoulders above the other last night.

You’re gonna continue to be you though.

As for Iowa All-American defensive end A.J. Epenesa — he had just one tackle. Iowa State didn’t do anything fancy against him – Good-Jones blocked him, sometimes with help from a tight end.

Really, Epenesa was a non-factor.

Iowa's entire DL was really a non factor. We didn't even have to double team AJ, so nobody else really did anything either. Purdy was untouched really.

Wish the same could be said about the UNI game.... they got to Purdy quite a bit. UNI DL>> Iowa DL I guess?

Not an every down guy. He did well playing 3rd down because he sells out for the pass and is fresh. Well know that being good at edge setting and pass rushing is something that even very few pros are equally good at.

He's definitely a specialist. That kid from UNI looked better than he did as an every down guy
