*** Official IOWA STATE vs Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***

Oh well, look on the bright side. Memphis is probably the cheapest option in terms of bowl trips, and you get to walk around Beale Street on New Year's Eve with your winter coat on!

WV after OSU and before UT and TT after UT and before OU. Emotional let’s down, prepping for big games at expense of others….who knows.

if these are trap games and a senior laden team falls for it…then we are far worse than I imagined. This team is so schizo as to defy logic.

Consistently aiming short of the first down is Tom Manning’s specialty

If Purdy doesn't find a way to do this, where does that leave us? He said he was viewing this as his "Senior Season," but it's not like he's getting drafted in the first three or four rounds with the season he has had. Do people want him back as the QB next year? This is a really, really significant half of football for the program.

Purdy needs to move on. Its Dekkers time.

Regardless of the first half, I still love p0rn.

Guys like you always think they do lol.

Was going to say it's hard to criticize the offense WHEN THEY CAN'T GET ON THE FIELD. Then nice score via Hall. This is tough.

Oline's been pretty bad.

 

[Hoggins]

Please explain this. Have we been stealing signals? How do we know this?

They’ve been absolutely stealing signals. It’s completely legal, but there is a reason WVU and Tech are running in play calls

I know its come up on some of the podcasts that we're pretty good in that dept.

 

[coolerifyoudid]

I think we still win.

Well, 2 bad games this year, as I’m including WVU. No Rose so it’s a little understandable, but WVU isn’t good.

I would call Baylor a bad game, too. Sure, Baylor is very good, but we laid an egg first half. That was a winnable game.

 

[Big_Sill]

This is making me regret the trip to OU next week. Puke.

Basketball school

Heacock better get his head out of his ass and make some HUGE adjustments.

Their QB has to get plays told to his ear every time and we cannot come up with anything to confuse him?

Barf!

It’s nearly DEKKEMBER time

We've gone from leading the nation in defense to giving up 31 first half points to TT. Obviously, losing Eni and Will is huge, but it shouldn't be THAT huge.

Enyi came back the next series. Will was in the last two series. Along with Rose being out vs WVU it’s not encouraging that we seem to be one injury away from really struggling on D.

He told the radio guy that they needed to find a leader. I thought he was the leader

Players will stop listening to the coach and at some point the players have to step up. I've wondered if we missed Kene and Jaquan more than just their on-field production - Akers and Dylan too - but from a leadership stand point and White in the defensive secondary. They may not have had amazing statistical careers outside of Jaquan but I think from a leadership perspective - I think they're loss is felt most there.


Honestly at this point I'd like to see more and young players worked in. I did see Daniel Jackson out there at receiver at least for a few plays. Not giving up on the season or the game but after that first half - seeing some young guys who are hungry might not be a bad idea

Has TT punted yet? You think we will win?
