Iowa would have lost if not for the Clifford injury. PSU was on a pace for 50+ points and 600 yards of offense before the injury.
I don't believe you want to see any part of us again.
It says on pace, not that PSU would have reached it. Reading is fundamental.
If you play your best, we still beat you with our starting QB. You do realize you were losing when Clifford got hurt, right?
We racked up a bunch in the first quarter and we’re a better second half team, so yeah, it was possible.
Iowa was well on their way to being boat raced when Clifford went down.
He’s trolling you. Anyone worth talking to could see this game was a blowout until Clifford went down. Nobody else respond to the thread this should be the last post.
Well Iowa hasn't allowed their last 28 opponents to score over 25 points in a game(a record) So I am going to respectfully agree to disagree.
Did any of those opponents have almost 200 yards of offense and 17 points in the first quarter? I don't care enough to look but figured you'd know off the top of your head. I'll respectfully guess none of them did.
How many of those opponents scored 17 in just a little longer than the first quarter? And how many of those 28 opponents were ranked in the top 4?
Be honest for us then.
28 opponents in a row to 25 points or less. Congrats on winning the first quarter
Your response let’s us know your answer.
I am being honest. Clifford had 0 TD passes(1 rushing TD) and 2 int. He had the wind with him in the first quarter. Why do you guys keep going with the "What if he didn't get injured" mantra? You and I will never know what "would" have happend if he stayed in. Phil Parker is one of the best DB coaches in the game and is great at making adjustments at halftime. Keep clinging to that first quarter!
So he wouldn’t have had the wind with him in any other quarter? At least be realistic.
Good points. Most PSU passing plays are called based on whether the wind is at their backs or not. Genius insight.
I'm not sure what you want me to say. You won the first quarter fair and square. Congrats. You don't have anything to say about 28 opponents in a row at 25 pts or less? You just want to focus on 1 quarter of 1 game you lost?
I am being 100% realistic. He would have had the wind for 50% of the game. Fact. What else do you got?
Isn’t it weird we won the quarter our starting QB was in the game and then didn’t after he got hurt. Isn’t that strange? Must have been Iowa’s great defensive adjustments that made the difference.
I’ve got the fact that we rolls up a bunch of yards and points when our starting QB was in and then we didn’t when he left the game. Not sure what would have changed had he stayed in the game.
Like I said, congrats on winning the first quarter. One player didn't cause your entire team of prized recruits to lose the game to the lowly corn fed Iowa Boys.
The last two turnovers and most of the penalties were directly caused by the backup QB. Losing your QB is different than losing players at other positions. We lost our best DT and the defense still played well. If you don’t realize that, then you know less football than I thought you did. Congrats, your team is better than ours with our backup QB. Enjoy the win.
Bwahahaha. If we suck, then that doesn’t say much about your team. It means you’re better than a team that sucks and has a backup QB. Think before you type.
We will never know because it didn't happen. Keep clinging to the "What might have beens" all you want. Doesn't change the very real outcome of the game.
