Yikes. Clones D is no joke.

Iowa State’s D has been very good under Heacock the last several years. It is surprising to me though that UNI is having a really hard time on the line of scrimmage when Iowa State has mostly new players at D Line and LB.

Cook might not even see the field at this rate

Not really. He’s had to scramble twice and they blew an assignment twice. Otherwise he’s stayed pretty clean and is just missing throws. Nowhere near an NFL quarterback from that half. Hope he shows up in the second half.

Agreed. This is probably the only sports forum I visit where I see so many completely off-the-wall takes regarding what's happening on the field. We have people in here saying Theo has no time and that our run game looks terrible. Meanwhile Theo has mostly clean pockets and our only offense has come on the ground lol

I don't understand what UNI OC have against slant patterns. It seems like we default to the 70's Raiders play design - run straight, run deep...

He’ll kick off the second half, so there’s that.

[panthergirl123]

But that's all the action he will see

I know I said I loved UNI +21.5, but I should have known. Anyone familiar with the general vibe of UNI men’s athletics should know there was simply no other way this game would go.

I was talking about run game in short yardage plays. Taking way too long to develop

UNI has roughly 55 rushing yards, and 86 total for the game. I haven’t seen all of it, but have seen enough to see we’re getting very little to no push in the run game. Combine that with bad decisions on where to throw and the offense looks way out of whack. UNI needs to figure out a way to take the top off the D to loosen up some of the underneath stuff they seem hell bent on throwing.

Oh my god, three passes completed in a row!? National Championship back on the menu!

[havok58]

That wasn’t roughing that passer, UNI gets bailed out.

[havok58]

Theo’s draft stock…

Yep, but when you don’t have a line to give you time to throw and receivers who drop the ball…

That’s the Farley way.

[panther-state]

Despite the lack of push, the running backs have been our most impressive offensive players. HBB and Tre have looked quick, physical and patient.

Theo not impressing after all the off-season hype. Let's hope it's just the physicality of the ISU D. Really don't understand why Theo isn't zipping in passes like last year. Too many floaters and passes that are giving the Clones chances to catch up and make plays.

[panther-state]

That pass to Pryor was the Theo I expected to see most of the game.
