TEXAS-IOWA STATE Game Thread

Game of missed opportunities, but a huge win for this team. I need my defense to get the F&$@ of the field on 3rd down. And maybe man the guy up who is their only player? We went man to man against WVU and it was great. Stress headache, but team grew up a little more today.

He was getting to the soft spot in the zone d repeatedly.
 
Rojo and JWhitt are real men that should be given a lot of credit for the culture.

Ford on defense, and the DL have stopped talking and produced.

Except you don’t go into a playoff at the end of the year, Texas had to have serious style points to remain in the conversation for the cfp, you can kiss that goodbye for good now. No way we are considered now, we barely won that game with QE at qb and rightfully so.

I don’t think we were realistically in the conversation after Tech, but I will take 11-2 with a conference championship and let the chips fall where they may.
 
Bijan was the man today. Ran hard, had some spectacular plays mixed in and generally just wore the cyclones out. We danced with the one that brung us.
 
Actually we were very lucky with a 4th down TD and close fumble caused by the D.
Our Secondary has major issues, but a lot of folks played really well.
 
Havoc I disagree.
Gundy was sticking up for his player who got criticized in the media. I think it was a tremendous thing to do.

Campbell is making a stink over a call on the field
a right call btw
It will be interesting to see how Campbell acts after he sees it was not targeting.
 
RoJo and JWhitt are the nuclear reactor and propellers on this carrier. Lots of weapons and fighters, but those too… man bro crushing harder every week. Carrier almost ran a ground today.
 
Quinn looked out of sorts this game. Those drops and bad routes by Cain affected his confidence! The rest of the team picked him up. He’s got to shake it off. OSU in Stillwater next week! Come on Quinn you got this!

Yeah anyone would take 11-2 but I honestly can’t see the Horns going undefeated against tcu, ksu, and osu.
 
"Matt Campbell wants..."

"George Bailey wants a flag on the coach for running that far out on the field"

See Matt, we don't always get what we want.

Ha! Like the naval analogies.

Let’s just say our carrier just sailed through a dangerous cyclone and emerged unsunk.

Hey, ISU makes teams look bad because they are a bunch of junk yard dogs. They have the best D in the conference. They have lost 4 games by a total of 14 points .
Our team played good enough to win. I’ll take that and be satisfied.
Next week is going to be another dogfight. 2 of Our d backs are freshmen. And you just can’t hide inexperience. :hookem::hookem:

I expect similar games against bailor and kstate

They are awesome, but Bijon is a F’g warrior. He ran into a tough well coached disciplined front seven and was a step away from breaking one all day. Still got way over a hundred running behind a line with two freshmen starters.

People need to put away cfp delusions. This would not be the year. We can rehash if we win the big xii

I don’t think so either, they can beat okie aggy next week on the road, but realistically I have that one in the loss column. I was really talking more about the mind set of winning each game any way you can, one point or 49 a win is a win. 9-3 is doable though and if okie aggy beats tcu we can meet them again in the championship game.

Well I replied to the post and agree with you - Gundy’s rant was justified, though still funny. Campbell lost his cool barking up the wrong tree.
 
Interviewed Ford on LHN
what a likeable humble guy,
Gave credit for the int to his coach fir emphasizing basics
Then he said the defense trusts the offense and offense trusts the D
THIS is a team.

J. Whitt, Ford, even Bijan: the humility and not “I” but the “TEAM” attitude is a major difference this year and that’s from coaching. Execution on the field is still inconsistent but the attitude is not.

He pretty much told Craig the same thing. Gotta love that guy, sure hope he's here for his senior year.
