This game was huge as many were nervous and had a gut feeling that the Bears would leave Ames with an L. Not that the concerns were unfounded, after all ISU came into the game 3-0 with a very talented team, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. Add to that the Cyclones hadn’t lost a conference game at Jack Trice Stadium in almost 3 years. Road game, in an extremely hostile environment, against a talented and motivated team and we not only get the W but in a convincing fashion.
So many great takeaways from this game:
- OL dominated a very good DL
- Took shots down the field
- Shapen found his rhythm
- DL looked like the DL of last year in the 2nd H
- Winning in Ames is extremely difficult, but we had them by the throat from the first drive
- 1-0 in conference play
If we take care of business this Saturday, I think we will have placed ourselves firmly in the drivers seat for another Big 12 Championship
Since I couldn’t go to the game and tailgate, I was active on twitter (which isn’t unusual lol) and had some fun:
