Iowa State vs. MN - Game Thread

Great second quarter, the offense worked itself out. I would like to see that continue into the second half and put these guys away.

Great first half. Shot ourselves in the foot, but our defense propped us up until the offense got on track. Scared the crap out of the dog with all my yelling the last four minutes.

I'm not a jumper, but that last touchdown got me to jump and shout.

 

[CycloneErik]

I really think that this is what we've expected the offense to be. If they can keep this focus in the 2nd half, we might be in for a fun time.

How do the Gophers respond to the punch we gave them in that last 4 minutes?

Their only big plays capitalized on some of our aggressiveness in coverage. I'm thinking they'll be in trouble if we can push the lead higher.

A stout defensive start in the 2nd half and ISU may put the nail in the coffin.

I agree. Benton and LJ each had one they overplayed seeking that interception. Just stay smart, gentlemen, and you have won yourselves a bowl game.

When would the team arrive back in Ames?

I'm in an irish pub in Carmel, IN (about two minutes north of Indianapolis. The drunk guy sitting next to me, who says that Iowa State is in the potato state and always competes for the conference championship, says this is a good game. And I concur!

Does anyone else feel like this is an Iowa or Nebraska game? A crap load of emotion out on that field.

Frustrating first quarter, fun second quarter. Defense playing well and the O finally rolling. Keep it up and we've got ourselves a winning season!

Yes. Yes, it does. A load of emotion here on my couch, too!

Issued to all Cyclone players in the 2nd half.

I appreciate the pxp and color during play, but, waaaay too much NFL during half.

 

[bgprest]

I think our special teams kick-off squad has certainly demonstrated the "hit 'em coming off the bus" philosophy!

And I agree with the comments on the high level of emotion on the field - and in all of our living rooms!!!

GO CLONES!!!

Not trying to be a smart *** but what would you want the NFL Network to talk about?

It's like they forgot that they're broadcasting a game......

I think Gray may start the 2nd half at QB for the Gophers.
