Iowa St. Cyclones at Missouri Tigers, Nov 21, 2009 1:00 PM CST
Boy would it be nice to see ISU close out the regular season strong. Nevertheless, I will go out and say that no matter the outcome, this team will play in a bowl of some sort. Looking forward to seeing how the team does, and disappointed that this game is not on TV. This matchup looks so much better now than it did 10 days ago, or whenever it was decided we'd be blacked out.
At the end of the day, it's more than just a bowl game. It's all about this:
Ok, well maybe not. I do wonder how many Cyclone fans realize that this game has a trophy?
Anyhow, I'll be listening on the radio, and posting my thoughts about the game. You are welcome to join in!
Go State!

Alright, lets see what this defense does

3rd and 16 for Mizzou now
Bailey Johnson with a big run stop

And ISU breaks up the pass
Mizzou will punt, and ISU will take over for the first time

Missouri takes over on the ISU 46

Damn it
Missouri moving now on ISU’s 25. Danario picks up a big gain

Time for the D to try to come up big in the redzone
Let’s get the stop

Well that didn't help
Washington runs for 7-8 yards, and an ISU facemask at the end of the play… .Mizzou now on the 4

Washington up the middle for the TD.... Mizzou 7, ISU 0
The Tigers are able to capitalize off of the Arnaud INT
by Mark Kieffer on Nov 21, 2009 1:17 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
I’m a little disappointed with how we’ve started. We turn the ball over, then allow some big gains, followed by a costly penalty.
Basically everything that ISU fans were worried about has happened.
by Mark Kieffer on Nov 21, 2009 1:24 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Wow
I grabbed some food real quick, and ISU is now deep in Missouri Territory

Arnaud to Darks for 23 yards, 2 A-Rob rushes for 14 yards, A-Rob reception for 8 yards, then the rest is history

DUMB
Lyle jumps offsides, but then also facemasks, so Mizzou picks up 15 instead of 5…

4th and Goal from the 1 now
The FG unit gets on the field. A nice stop for the D

I didn’t like the way ISU started the game, but they have played well the last half of the quarter. Hopefully they can carry this over into the 2nd

Dang it
Pass deflected to an open Hamilton

They run an option-fake…. Should’ve just lined up and gone for it with the normal offense

ISU on a 3rd and 4 false-starts… It’s on the entire offensive line, lol

Missouri is just able to attack ISU on the ground
They keep moving the ball

A-Rob getting going
Two 5 yard runs, then a 10 yard reception!

Nice screen
Missouri blitzs, and A-Rob picks up 17
by Mark Kieffer on Nov 21, 2009 2:07 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
ISU 10, Mizzou 10, A little over 3:00 left
Other than not scoring, this was a great drive for the Cyclones. They moved the ball methodically down the field, and ate up some clock in the meantime…
Also, the defense has picked it up and come up big the last couple of Missouri possessions

by Mark Kieffer on Nov 21, 2009 2:19 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
I have to say I'm impressed... 4 plays, 66 yards, in 30 seconds or so, and no timeouts used
They will likely go into the half with the lead, and they will get the ball first to start the 3rd Quarter
by Mark Kieffer on Nov 21, 2009 2:22 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Missouri takes the knee and heads into the lockerroom...
Missouri fans booing the decision
by Mark Kieffer on Nov 21, 2009 2:23 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
ISU has all of the momentum right now!
Lots of guys are stepping up… Halfway done, but now they need to play the second half like how they played the last part of the 1st quarter, and the 2nd quarter!
I hope they can come out of the locker room and continue playing like this!

So far
ISU hasn’t gotten completly burned, and has caused 2 fumbles, recovering 1. If the defense continues to play hard, and if the offense can continue to find the open guy and move the ball, I’m looking optomistic.
Missouri has a good rush defense, and it’s been awesome to see ISU pass the ball reasonably well.
Can’t wait for the 2nd half! Let’s go STATE!

Stats-wise
It goes down as a 12 yard run. I guess it was a backward pass
