***ISU vs. Iowa postgame thread***
- Thread starter CTAClone
- Start date
Tom Herman has been a major let down.
LJ and Sims fighting on the field looks awful.
Iowa has come ready to play us the last three years and we have been handed our *** each time.
D-Line has been bad for about 3-4 years. It's time to get some d-line players, please.

At some point, we are going to have to get a special QB again to give ourselves a chance against these teams. Watching the Michigan game now, this QB is insane. I realize he is a special player, but we need another guy like Seneca. Guy that can run and pass and take a game over. Until we get that guy or develop one, we aren't going to be much better than .500.
Defense just has to get bigger, stronger and faster. I think it can over time, but it will take a few years of recruiting and coaching continuity.
Not a whole lot of analysis to do on today's game. Iowa has the benefit of continuity and they have had time to build their program up after Fry left. PR has not had that time yet. Iowa is bigger, stronger and faster at every position and was better coached today. End of story.

Don't forget we've handed Iowa their a** a couple times and they've gone on to successful years. We should have the same attitude.
EIU has a lot of talent this year and played a perfect game today. We were mediocre at best. But there's no reason to give up, let's learn and move on.

I don't think we win more than 2 games the rest of the way. Today illustrated the point I knew all along. Last year we overachieved and this year is going to be a long one.
It must be something about seeing that yellow and black across the line from him that gets into Arnauds head, or something. He just implodes for the Iowa game. Way too many passes thrown too hard, at their feet, over their head, etc.
We played right into the strengths of Iowa trying to throw over the middle and run right up the gut. When Arob got out on the edge, he got some yards. Arnaud didn't run the ball enough. It didn't seem like Herman made any adjustments on the offense to try and do something different.
One definite bright spot was Shontrelle on kick returns. Giving us the ball at the 40/50 yard line will definitely help in the future.

Next week will tell the tale of the season. If we beat KSU we can still have a good season and go 6-6, maybe 7-5. If we lose in KC, its going to be a LONG year
Gee - Mac's teams always went to war with the Hawks. This team looked scared and timid.
You do realize a good part of the second half was ISU's first string against Iowa's 2nd/3rd/4th string...
Or perhaps your post was sarcasm...

Come on guys. Ya ISU lost, key thing is to move on after tough losses. I believe this team will and will get to the magical 6 wins.
What I found disturbing was the lack of solid tackling. I thought that these guys were taught fundamentals, but there were some sloppy arm tackles and very poor angles on the defensive side.
I liked the way Knott started the game but those guys had to be beat by halftime.
I liked the way Money Reynolds finished the game. The few times I saw him he was still playing hard. That block on the edge was text book and he held it forever.
Other then that it was a long freakin' day. Can't say I'm going to save any money for bowl tickets.

That's awful, the position we could least afford an injury. Time for George step up.
No way we win 6-7 games,......Utah, OU, TX, NU......automatic losses. We can't ever figure out Texas Tech, Northern Iowa gives us fits even though we should thump them, and Missouri, Colorado, and KU can never be chalked up as automatic wins for the Clones.
:shocked:
He should qualify for a medical red shirt. The offense is going to have to score a lot of points this year.
This team did not come to play today. The oline looked like they never played a game before and then that lead to the problems with the rest of the offense. The dline needs alot of work. I didn't think we would have won today but I thought the game would have been alot closer. I hope this embarassmet wakes up the whole team. Dwell on it tonight but get back to work tomorrow. Need to start off the conference season with a win.
