Doyle cost Epenesa millions

[Statefan10]

Yeah, the cyclones let us down a bit.

That damn bye week lol

 

[dexterhawk]

Also TCU has the same record as us.. so by that logic Iowa has 0 good wins this year?

Borderline. It was on the road so it’s quality for now. @home it would have been debatable

 

[JP4CY]

Sure, but the Hawks have a quality win on the road and are ranked higher than they were at the start of the season. ISU not so much...unranked and a ok home win against TCU. Facts are facts

A quality win over a regressed team? Woof.

 

[iahawks]

Do you think Epenesa has regressed and Purdy has been great?

I think Epenesa hasn't met his expectations so far this season, much like ISU.

It's all relative. In two weeks Iowa State could be 5-2 and most likely ranked. I think Iowa beat a good ISU team on the road.

ISU was picked to win 8.5 games.

Talk to us at the end of the year. #bodyofwork

I'm just trolling the troll.

Gotcha. Epenesa has half the season left. If he tears it up, awesome. If he doesn't, is there any way he'd come back for another year?

I agree. Just talking about at this point into the season is all.

Mirror?

Anything is possible and there was some smoke out there that he was coming back regardless. He really loves it at Iowa. But I think no matter what happens on the field he is going pro. He is going to tear it up at the combine and that is more important than what happens on the field a lot of times. Look at Clowney's junior year stats and play and he still went #1.

Baylor is ranked above 5 B1G West teams at this point. Is the division going to step it up at all?
Hope Iowa doesn't lose, it could be 6 then.

And Purdy is great?

 

[iahawks]

And Purdy is great?

Purdy has been great in two games so far. He wasn't good against UNI, was good against Iowa and Baylor and great against ULM and TCU.

8 actually

That one hit against South Carolina cemented him in that #1 spot

I stand corrected

 

[CyTwins]

Purdy has been great.

Agreed. Best QB the state has seen since Seneca/Banks

It doesn't really feel like we have one of those magical quality losses, either.
