**Official Iowa State vs. Iowa Football Thread - 6:30pm - NBC**

[douglasbader]

Iowa opens as a 14.5 point favorite. The Fighting Hank Brown's will be dealing with the heat again, looks to be around 82 degrees and humid at kickoff, but down to a beautiful low 70's in the second half.

Let's see if Kirk can keep from losing 4 out of the last 5 to the Cyclones!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Stu Beagle]

If we win 50-0 I might forget about last years collapse

 

[KitKatApples]

I’ll allow it

 

[Kerky]

Let us only focus on good vibes this week:


57-3. I particularly liked the 3.

It's their Super Bowl.

No, it's yours.

14-13, iowa

We are going to dismantle them. It is going to be a skull fucking that will be reminiscent of the Fry Era.

That game will somehow end 40 minutes later than Iowa/ISU, despite starting at the exact same time. We might be able to watch the whole fourth quarter.

[BBK]

Iowa State didn't run the ball very well against SEMO. I can't imagine they'll be able to run much better against us.

"Lets beat fucking Hawks"

[HCPhawk]

Can we win comfortably against a team that's going to struggle to make a bowl game in a shitty conference? Please?

Iowa 34
ISU 13

 

[Verbal]

Brown starts and looks good as Iowa jumps out to a 13-0 lead. Kirk & Tim then squeeze the air out of the ball and the crowd for 2.5 quarters and Iowa State closes the gap in familiar and frustrating fashion. After Konrardy nails another 50-yarder, the lead sits at just 16-13 mid-4th before Hecklinski leads Iowa on a 10+ play, game-sealing TD drive.

*Struggle to win 4 games

 

[ChipHilton]

I hope they're crap, of course, but don't think this Clown team is to be compared with Campbell's first rag tag bunch with Joel Lanning at QB and nobody on defense.

 

[Shawneemicks]

It will be a tight game late into the 2nd half

 

[nikolausp]

Flying up to Iowa for this game! Mom has never been to an Iowa football game before, so I called her last night and told her we're going. She's pretty excited! #CCMF

 

[champion_thedrinker]

I am not worried about this one at all.

 

[KitKatApples]

Fuck

 

[Hawkstrat]

Didn't watch, but they had 3.5 ypc against an FCS team. Starting QB was at 50%, but over 11 yards an attempt. So, pretty poor showing on offense, outside of a few long passes.

On defense, they had six sacks, but didn't exactly shut down the run outside of SEMO's QB going for -52 yards. I'm not a big fan of "outside of the good plays, they were bad," but I think it makes sense here.

If this wasn't ISU, and all the bullshit that comes with that, nobody would be nervous.

 

[nolookpass]

new guy got the recipe for beating Iowa, stack the box, make Iowa throw. Hopefully, this time Kirk wont get a 3 point lead and spend the 4th quarter trying to run out the clock

 

[PoopyFaceTomatoNose]

Hasn’t that essentially always been the recipe?

 

[Herky823]

Iowa wins by 3 scores.

 

[Herky823]

Like I always say - champ…knows what he’s talking about?

 

[WCFHawkeye]

Iowa wins by 3 scores.

6-0?

 

[Laplace]

Iowa wins by 3 scores.

So at least 6 points.

 

[Laplace]

Dammit

 

[Shawneemicks]

I usually don’t put much in home field advantage in this series but at night that’ll be worth something

 

[SondyRules]

I am not worried about this one at all.

Champ is 100% correct.

 

[ChipHilton]

Someone please link the thoughtful tweet by Top Tier Iowa State comparing the position groups. HaLo will find it a useful primer for the game.

 

[RecreationalGynecologist]

Just play disciplined defense, don’t let their QB get easy yards on the ground, move the ball, score TDs in the red zone and we win.

We have the only Top Tier Iowa State fan here on HaLo

 

[CleteyColgate]

We have Kirk

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Better at every level of defense. LOLOLOL. We didn't give up a non-penalty first down until almost the 4th quarter right?
