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

That’s a good win on the road for us. Cincinnati obviously isn’t that good, but we came in and took care of business in pretty solid fashion.

It’s crazy how Cincy and TCU can drop off so fast.

Cincy I’m not really sure how good they ever were, but they were at least dangerous. TCU obviously was very good to make and win a playoff game a year ago.

The important thing is we really needed that one for a bowl game and to prove we can win on the road.
 
We lost by 30 to the only legit team we have played so far. We won't know if we've truly hit our stride or not until the Texas game. Still, this game is a step in the right direction.
Good teams blow out lesser teams, they did that last 2 games. Believe it or not that can also be an indicator especially this far into the season

A gloriously boring win by the Cyclones!
Offense very efficient and strategically explosive. Would have liked to see a little more out of the run game, but they held their own today against a decent rush defense. Rocco managed the game well in the rain on the road and saw more running from him w/a TD.
Defense is was just flat out stout most of the day, allowing only 214 total yards for a paltry 3.5 yards per play. Getting 2 more INTs was nice. Really physical, aggressive, took good attack angles, wrapped up and prevented YAC yards; The young LBs were good most of the day today.
Special teams: A fake field goal that actually worked and eventually led to a TD, long kick return, good punt and kick off coverage. Tyler Perkins w/a huge save on a bad snap on a made FG.
It's so good to see a good, solid, boring, Cyclone win on the road.

Indeed, it is Roccotober!
