*Game Thread* Iowa State 9/5

Re: *Game Thread* Iowa State 9/5

Our throwing game has been awful at best I feel like. Anything positive has been QB scrambles lol

Tirrell Rennie part II. Now that Salmon is not calling the shots any more, we now know who voted for the running QB...Farley. Not good. With these QB's, their big plays (long TD runs) have to outweigh their 3rd & 8 plays where they take a sack as they cannot throw down the field. Reminds me of so many Friday night high school football games that now have running backs playing QB.

Want to see Dunne. Want to see fifty pass attempts second half.

Not sure why we aren't looking for short throwing gains more. It doesn't take a super strong arm to throw a couple yards.

Farley must have gotten cold feet about up tempo offense...

This. Throw short and look for YAC.

Unless Farley isn't confident in his WR's.

So far conservative offense. We need to throw the rock in this if we want to win. Bailey may be a good thrower, but we have yet to provide the opportunity for it to show. It is only going to get worse. When ISU comes back out, they will start to blitz the whole house. We need to be able to counter this and we will not as currently constructed.

Re: *Game Thread* Iowa State 9/5

Bailey takes too long to make a decision to throw down field. He's the wrong guy for davis' scheme. We've turned it into a high school offense. I've been afraid of this for two weeks. Goddam it!!!

Re: *Game Thread* Iowa State 9/5

Actually I think the offense was doing better using the run to open the pass. Once they commit to stopping the run the pass, long or short, should be available.

This should be no surprise to anyone who's somewhat known Farley over the years. He's always talked about how he hated defending dual threat QBs. It goes all the way back to Tracy Ham, and a super quick guy from Missouri St., when they were actually good. Not saying he's wrong, just adding perspective.

Re: *Game Thread* Iowa State 9/5

Thought Farley would rotate more guys in on D but not seeing it. Boys gonna get gassed in 2nd half. Playing pretty solid so far though...as expected.

I certainly remember him, but our running QB's are a far cry from Ham. The perfect QB for us was Sanders. He ran when it was there, but also could make all of the throws. For his size, he was one tough SOB.

Rennie made quick reads, he just didn't have the arm for 13 plus yard routes he had called for him.

I was worried Bailey would get the job, and this is why. Dunne, Kollmorgen and Demos are more natural passers.

I don't want to overreact because his legs have made plays and it's 1 half, but I don't like it

Tracy Ham was Georgia Southern ... The Hambone offense. God, that was a great playoff game. UNI just ran out of time.

Don't be tempted to cancel your Cyclone TV subscription before the game is over. I cancelled at halftime so I wouldn't forget to cancel later, assuming since I paid the $10, I'd be good for the whole month. Apparently not. They cut you off right away. No es bueno. Pirate stream for the rest of the game for me. ****ers.

Did Bailey pull a groin muscle in the escape from the end zone?
