I am enjoying the win. Thanks.
We feel that way because it took you guys into the 4th quarter to finally pull ahead and that was with us having a backup QB in there playing absolutely horribly. Had we had our starter in there, even if he didn’t score many more points, we’re quite confident he would have improved field position for us which would have resulted in your team scoring less points. It’s basic football. You played on a 50 yard field the whole second half and still eked out a win in the end. Make it a 100 yard field and chances are you don’t eke out a win.
We haven’t had a running game all year and we still beat Wiscy and Auburn. When you have a pass oriented offense, with a dynamic OC and a strong QB, you can get away with a weaker running game. When you have a backup who can’t pass, it’s a little harder. The backup QB situation changed the entire game. Our usual backup transferred to Kentucky, leaving us with a third stringer….not too many teams can beat a good team with a third string qB with no experience. That’s more than just losing a player to injury. Our biggest weapon is having the best receiver in college football, but if the QB can’t get him the ball, it’s not much of a weapon.
Whatever you say, Corky. Please listen to your mom and stop licking the windows.
You really don’t hope we play again. Your team loses by 3-4 scores at home without our injuries. in Indy it would be a blood bath.
You are trying to explain chess to fans they play checkers. They simply don’t understand football and think losing Clifford wasn’t a big deal.
Of course it was a big deal. I understand football very well after watching it for 30+ years. I simply stated that losing Clifford is one of several reasons for the loss. You can't turn the ball over 4 times on the road and expect to win. Back up QB or starting QB.
Iowa’s offense sucks. Not mediocre. Not average. It’s bad. If for some reason only known to god himself they would play in some game of consequence, they would be annihilated. It’s boring, bad offense. They should count their lucky stars that Clifford got hurt. MY and Clifford feast on defenses in the second half. Why? Because MY knows what to draw up after seeing how the opposing defense reacts to a certain formation or play. That’s why he is on the field and not in the box. He wants to hear what the offense is seeing. After watching that shit show of a game, does any real cfb fan doubt that MY wouldn’t have put up 21 or more points in the second half?
Iowa could very well lose every remaining game on the schedule. Who knows? I sure don't. I am greatful the team I cheer for is 6-0 and ranked in the top 3 at this point. I take it one day at a time.
All that plus a half against a QB who’s only taken a handful of snaps in his career, and you won by 3
Sort of. Campbell hit Clifford and then PSU kicked the FG to go 17-3. Then Iowa took the ball on the next drive and scored. Technically, it was 17-3 when he got hurt, but it was definitively 17-10 before Roberson had any impact on the game.
Clifford went into the locker room with the score 17-3. The impact on his teammates was had at 17-3
Alrighty then. I feel could say the nicest thing possible and I still would get called a prick. That's says more about you than me. I'm not sure what to tell you.
So Iowa only scored that TD because Clifford was hurt. My point was that PSU “playing without the QB” didn’t happen until 17-10.
It says a lot about Iowa or just some of it's fans? Do you have any fans that poorly represent your fanbase ever?
I guess you just lost to a joke of a football team then. Does that mean you would get stomped by Ohio State aswell? Or would Clifford be the difference in that game aswell?
I will go where I please. I haven't broken any rules. Who says I'm nice? I having sober fun
We’ll never know indeed, but we’re all pretty sure where this game was headed. Iowa fans know it or else they wouldn’t be so defensive in their posts. Phil Parker wasn’t going to adjust his team out of what was happening. This wasn’t a scheme problem. State simply had better players until they didn’t.
I fully expect Nick to be at PSU 2nd semester. Should be a good battle to the wire in that case for the team trophy. As long as everyone stays healthy that is. One injury could throw either team off the top
