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

[Bigman38]

They’ve dominated all but 2 mins. Just come out and beat the crap out of them.

 

[khardbored]

Blocked the PAT, at least!

 

[jay moe]

Couldn't take it anymore, flipped on John and Eric and synced it to the TV. Much better!

So just a recap,
Cooper has a ball hit him right in the hands for a pick six.
we still force them to punt, we throw a pick right a way.
get our best player kicked out and let this sh9tty team score to make it a 11 point game. we shoudl be up by 30.

Yep. We fumble then miss Higgins wide open, drop a pick 6, then throw a pick...

This is a very weird position because we are winning and almost dominating -

yet we are doing non of the little things well.

 

[tim_redd]

Purchase just whiffed my lord

whiffed would imply he at least put forth some effort

 

[RezClone]

Aw! Here we go.

Is Tampa out the 1st half of the KU game now?

I don't see an obvious targeting there, like the announcers were saying. The Receiver's head was coming down also.

One of those things. We will have to overcome now. This game and next.

No luckily it happened in the first half so he will eligible right away next game.

 

[DrShip]

I get that it was targeting by the letter of the law, but what's a defender supposed to do there?

There needs to be a penalty for targeting, and then something like a flagrant targeting where the player gets ejected.

 

[Hoxsuck]

That may have been the worst attempt at tackling out of this defense in a long time.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Crap end to the end of the half, but we’re dominating. TJ got a bit screwed as he turned his body, but that call is what it is nowadays

 

[Clonehomer]

If we were Iowa fans: He didn’t intend to target. The officials didn’t rule targeting live. This is BS

ISU fans: yeah… we figured they’d call targeting. We’re used to being in the wrong side of 50/50 calls

That was not a 50/50 call. It was pretty textbook.

 

[clonedude]

****. All because of a terrible throw from rocco

WRONG! That was all on Noel people…. he just stopped on his route.

 

[Cyched]

"Let's see how aggressive Matt Campbell wants to be"

LOL he's not doing **** after that sequence

 

[Hoxsuck]

One critique, I cannot even count the number of scores a CMC team has given up in the last minute of a half.

 

[AuH2O]

I just don't get what else Tampa can do on that play

Nothing but it is targeting per the horrible stupid rule that only a moron that’s never played a down of football could think makes sense.

This rule is so ******* stupid.

And Becht needs to get it together. That missed TD to Higgins has to be made every single time by a Big 12 QB. I really like Rocco and I think he’s the guy. But at worst you underthrow that and you gain 30 yards.

 

[cycloneworld]

No. Offense has moved the ball all day long.

Just a terrible throw by Rocco. Just because a player makes a bad play doesn't mean the decision was bad.

Several terrible throws by Rocco in the first half. Missed an easy Higgins TD, missed a wide open Noel in the end zone and then an unacceptable pick that turned into 7 points for Baylor.

 

[Clonefan94]

The announcer is so pro-baylor in his view of things its incredible

This color guy is ******* horrible. One of those guys who doesn’t know when to shut the **** up.

 

[CycloneErik]

It got worse.

It usually does. We'll fix this at halftime, probably.

 

[jsb]

I get that it was targeting by the letter of the law, but what's a defender supposed to do there?

Right.....I get that it was the right call. But in my mind, you should only get kicked out of a game if you literally are targeting them. If you accidentally hit them, make it a 15 yard penalty and play on.

 

[Cloned4Life]

Absolutely the most Iowa State 1:15 seconds imaginable.

 

[ClonesFTW]

The last 1:50 of the half could not have gone worse

Unfortunately has happened too many times the last handful of years.
