Not the best start for the OSU offense. The line has to do a better job .

Decent start for the OSU defense. Need the offense to get into some sort of rhythm here on this drive.
Zach Lancaster

Bit of a boring offensive game thus far. Let's see if the third drive's the charm.

Touchdown!!

First off, the 71-yard run by Ollie Gordon was EXCATLY what this team needed. Then the toughness of Bowman to get into the end zone from 12 yards out was HUGE. Let's hope this gives them the shot in the arm that they need offensively.
Zach Lancaster

Well that was a bit of busted coverage there by the Pokes on fourth down. Oof.
CProc7

How do we let the best player on their team run free twice already? It happens couple times a game. Fix that and their offense won't move at all. Go Pokes!
Zach Lancaster

Hasn't been the best start we've ever seen, but certainly better offense than we've seen in the past few weeks. Defense looks pretty solid as well.

Bowman's timing with receivers is off. It's almost list he didn't have 3 games to get in rhythm
Zach Lancaster

Bowman has to figure out the passing game and the Pokes' secondary has to start covering WRs.

Collin Olliver is EASILY one of the best players in the Big 12. But they need him rushing the o-line every play and hunting QBs. Thanks for the help BM.
NJAggie

Well he got that one in there about perfectly!

LOVE deep passes for touchdowns. LOVE. THEM.

For sure…

Our secondary really needs a CTJ talk.
Orangeheart72

Our QB rush has to bring it once in a while. This kid is way to comfortable with just a mediocre offensive line protecting him. Where's the all out rush?
Orangeheart72
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Could we have declined that offsides and took the kick/points?
CProc7
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Every time we all out rush we get beat deep.

Unfortunately offsides if they blow it kills the play.

But we got it anyway and a bonus penalty for the kickoff.

Not bad, but we need to make a lot of adjustments and seize this game in the 2nd half.
Orangeheart72
How long do you want to ignore this user?
If we allow them time to throw it deep, they're completing 50% of the throws for long yardage!
Zach Lancaster

What are y'alls thoughts on the first half?

Well hell. Might as well then!

We have a chance! There was a feeling that perhaps we wouldn't. And you have to think IF Bowman still has the stuff he showed as a frosh, he may improve dramatically over the next few quarters of full time play. Hopefully he finds his tight end and Presley some and loosens up this D.

Gotta think they target Brennan at LEAST once in this game.

Iowa State has 258 total yards..
The defense has got to get the secondary figured out

That pick was less than ideal. Solid drive up until that. Let's see if the D can come back out and get a stop.
NJAggie
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Well if we can not give up a 3rd down pass we can get it back.
NJAggie
How long do you want to ignore this user?
The line seems to be getting more penetration this half. Could be a difference maker if we can get the lead.
CProc7
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Defense doesn't care for three and outs that last about 45 seconds.
Zach Lancaster

y'all, this aint great.

Sadly, the halftime adjustments by our defense.. not so good
