Cyclones vs. Knights Game Thread

**** Gus, he lost this game bc he is a horrible offnesive coach. Now, we have to pray they can throw it down the field after throwing for 50 yards all game.

Gus was gifted this game by the defense and found a way to call the worst play on third down. Behind the line? Behind. The. Line. On third down. It’s crazy. Just crazy. I can’t understand it. It’s so gross to hope you get a broken tackle at that juncture. Spread the field 1 read and run maybe two reads and run. It’s just so unreal to make that call when they were obviously playing close to the LOS. Just unreal.
 
Absolutely disgusted. For a moment this looked like the game that Gus would pull out of his ass like OSU last year. 2015 was a more tolerable season since we KNEW O’Leary’s time was up. The future looks bleak.
 
GUS IS AN ABSOLUTE ****ING IDIOT. HANDED THEM THE GAME ON A SILVER PLATTER.

How do you put the game on your defense with 2 mins left and a TD wins it when you know your defense is terrible?
You're on the 42 yard line and don't try to get the first down or 3?

Any coach worth a shit would have won this game, but Gus snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.
 
I can’t get over that third down call. It’s insane. Who does that with the game on the line? 7 in the box. Gus set them up for failure and that’s not what a coach should do. Live with a call that fails but to make a call to fail is on him.

Iowa needed that stop and sold out on it. Let the players fail but don’t fail as a coach. Give them a chance. Gus is cooked.
 
What’s good with these 3rd and 4 / 5 and we go for a touchdown pass? This is infuriating. Pick up the 1st down. If we get one of those, we likely win the game. Death by a thousand cuts. We’re cutting ourselves in this case.

Nah.

Our defense balled out today against a very good team. They made stops, pressured the QB and gave us 14 pts.

We got Gussed

Plain and simple.
Balled out?!?!?

Some stats for IS:
28 first downs
530 yards tot off
275 passing
3-3 on 4th
Continue to miss tackles and sacks.

100% the two INTs were the reason we even had a chance but outside of that, they did not ball out.

Agree that Gus screwed up the opportunity to steal this one.

Dude, our offense was non existent in the second half.

Yes, our defense played well and gave us 14 pts all while being on the field most of the second half.

This is on the offense and Gus. Period.
