*** Official IOWA STATE vs Ohio Game(Day) Thread ***

[RagingCloner]

Perfect time for this offense to exercise a 2 minute drill. Cant wait to see Norton run it 3 times for a loss of yards!

Wow. This game.

1920's football is jealous.

 

[cymac2408]

What? They have zero points…

Some people need to back away from the keyboards during games.

But moving the ball at will.

 

[CloneIce]

It's starting to become a problem. Will get worse if offense can't move the ball.

Yes, if we go 3 and out every series it will make it hard on the defense.

I guess I just don’t understand why anyone would be railing about our defense given we are pitching a shutout at halftime. Seems like the frustration is misplaced.

 

[Darius Bieber]

At least Ohio is trying to get creative. The problem is, they have way more success being vanilla.

 

[NebrClone]

78 yards to go. 2 mins.....

We got......



A small chance to get near the 50 yard line

Really smart play by Ohio not to touch ball and let clock run

 

[Trice]

SIAP but who else did this food poisoning hit besides Becht and Noel?

 

[cycloneworld]

I mean, if we're going to be a team that plays field position, we can't consistently keep letting them flip the field back on us.

Especially with an inept offense that isn't equipped to go the full length of the field.

Maybe but the defense is far from “bad”. They’ve allowed 9 and 13 points and shutout someone for a half. This is 100% on the offense.

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Here comes 3 straight runs to try to run out the clock.

 

[CyGuy5]

At least this game is only going to take 2 hours

 

[CloniesForLife]

Does being ultra conservative, bend don't break, minimize yards and points matter when the offense can't do ****? Or would we be better served by a more aggressive defense that forces the issue and tries more for big plays and setting up the offense with a short field?

Yeah we have a really good defense but think of how many short fields or points Iowas defense scores. If you're going to have a **** ball control offense you need your defense to create a little more. The defense is still down the list (obviously) on the issues with this team right now

3 runs up the middle for -3 yards.

But moving the ball at will.

118 total yards to our 82.

 

[Walden4Prez]

What a ******* joke this mess is.

 

[Cyched]

We get the ball to start the second, so I'd be surprised if Campbell gets too ambitious.

But ****, even a FG before half would help.

 

[ClonesFTW]

Jamie needs to figure out how to keep John Heacock and get a different head coach after the season. We are in the 8th year, Campbell can't coach at this level

Who is willing to come to Ames Iowa that would do better than Campbell’s last 5 years? Legitimate question.

does "run up the middle (Ohio TO) run up the middle (Ohio TO) run up the middle (Ohio TO) punt" count as a 2-minute offense?

 

[acoustimac]

Fortunately, Ohio just as bad as we are, why do you run the trick play there?

At least they are being creative

 

[simply1]

Definitely should have gone fishing instead

 

[madguy30]

The 2003 team would wipe the floor with this team.

No. No they wouldn't.
