October 16, 20223 yr 10 hours ago, Valmy77 said: Disagree. I liked the call. Doing that every once in a while forces people to take that into consideration on 4th down. And it should have worked, just didn't execute. You are wrong on this. The risk in this specific situation was way too great to not do your best play to get the three yards. ISU had just went up 7-0. You can’t risk giving them the ball at the 40 and chance to go up 14-0. So we called a play where Ewers throws the pass he is the worst at to a receiver who has the worst hands in the team. In an important situation. if you want to do that occasionally on 4th to keep defenses honest, you do it when we are up a couple touchdowns, not down 7-0 and can give momentum back to the other team.
October 16, 20223 yr I had to leave when it was 7-0 and Texas looked asleep and behind lethargic and just now getting to see the score/highlights. I’m shocked they won this game. This would’ve been a loss the last 8 seasons. They should’ve lost today - thanks for that wide open pass drop! Lots of fix. Pokie is a terrible matchup for this team. You left the game after one score?
October 16, 20223 yr Despite what the numbers suggested I thought this was a challenging matchup on both sides of the ball. Iowa st defense vs a young QB…. Quinn missed some big throws and had an easy one dropped, but he didn’t turn it over and we almost ran for 200 on them. That’s a win. Their dink and dunk vs our defense. We can’t get off the fuckin field. We stuffed the run but let the biggest JAG QB in the conference carve us up. I laughed when I saw the spread… take the win and forget about it. We lose this game last year by a lot.
October 16, 20223 yr Anything on Jamier Johnson? Didn’t see him once Watts went down, had the freshman out there

I agree. That is a play you shoot for when you are trying to extend a lead to double digits. It's not a play you try down 7-0 and your offense struggling.

October 16, 20223 yr Just rewatched the game. ISU has no room to complain about the refs. The two holding calls on Texas were both weak and wiped out big plays, especially the one on the kick return. The missed facemask call at the goal line on Roschon near the end was obvious and right in front of an official. The obvious pass interference calls missed twice. And the play they're whining about was correct. It was a fumble. It was not targeting.

October 16, 20223 yr Quinn played fine. Iowa State plays a solid defensive scheme and their players are extremely sound fundamentally. I wish with our athletic advantage we played as solid a scheme/fundamentals as they do. He missed some throws but then again so did Bryce Young last night...it happens.

I’ve watched most of their games and they play with intensity. Texas better be motivated or they will get their doors blown off.

Then we had our chances to go up big and step on their necks and blew it. Just how it goes. I am getting really tired of these blown double digit 2nd half leads, but at least we have double digit second half leads to blow I guess. Edited October 16, 20223 yr by Valmy77
October 16, 20223 yr I remember reading a Scipio recap from one of the Josh Freeman/Jordy Nelson Kstate games where he said something like "as I type this, Jordy Nelson is still wide open over the middle of the field." Well, as I type this Xavier Hutchinson is still wide open on third and long. Every single third and long I was screaming at the screen to put 3 guys on him. Hell, bring in 8 dbs and put them all on Hutchinson, because we all knew that's where the pass was going. When he was open by 10 yards on the pass he dropped I lost my shit. Sure, he dropped it, but that's the one guy we had to have multiple guys keyed on at that point in the game. Yesterday must have been what fans felt like facing Colt/Shipley. We all knew where the ball was going on must-make downs, yet somehow he's still wide open.

October 16, 20223 yr Our defense made the plays when they had to, especially with the turnovers. And that was absolutely huge. But otherwise, our defense was a beating to watch for significant stretches. The most galling thing to me yesterday was seeing Iowa State going for it on 4th and long in their own end of the field. They knew they would make it, and sadly, I did, too. If our pass defense was even remotely close to competent, that would have been an obvious punt situation.

But yes, let's play like a bunch of pussies that are too afraid to entrust our 1.000 rated QB to hit wide open deep shots. Because that's how you win championships.

October 16, 20223 yr 16 minutes ago, hookem48 said: did you see the guy for Tennessee catch 5 tds vs Bama? shit happens I guess If he's covered but makes a play, that's one thing. They had exactly one receiver who was eating our lunch, and somehow he was wide open in the red zone with minutes to go in the 4th and them needing a TD to win. It was the kind of bust that likely loses us the game if he doesn't drop it. If another player is that open or if he's not open but makes a crazy play, ok. Having their best wr wide fucking open at that point in the game (after he'd been burning us consistently) is coaching malpractice. Edited October 16, 20223 yr by Bill Lumbergh

October 16, 20223 yr From le model, Texas stands pat - Michigan jumps us while Wake Forest falls. Out of all top 25 defenses, Texas is the most battle-tested (played the most good offenses) and most reliable (fewest let-down games). Most of the lightly-tested teams have washed out of the top 20 (Minnesota was there last week). I think NCSU is the most suspect, highly rated defense but lowly battle-tested.

Which leaves usc still several spots ahead of Utah. and lsu dropping 4 after a decent road win. USC vs Utah is not doing much for either team. It looks like very slight upward pressure for both teams. I'd have to look through to see but it's probably because previous opponents look better this week. Oregon State pulled off a big upset. They were a common opponent of both teams - although USC also played Wazzu, who was on the receiving end. LSU's win was pretty ho-hum from the perspective of a top 20 team. (I understand what it means from a rivalry perspective.) But it's actually a net negative for them in the model. They fell in part because they have a relatively high-rated but also untested defense, which gives them plenty of space to fall when they have let downs against mediocre offenses.
