I jinxed emLutmer INT late! Looks like Iowa will pull of the upset!

maybe White Lightning has some insight on this, but i don’t see what the hype is surrounding Arizona DEI quarterback, Noah Fifita. he’s tiny (listed at a generous 5-foot-10, 195-lbs), doesn’t look like much of a runner, and appears to be a checkdown artist in the passing game.
i’ll readily admit this is the first time i have seen him play, but from what i’ve seen thus far, there are literally hundreds (or more) White high school quarterbacks around the country with similar attributes who never get a smell of a collegiate football scholarship, much less NIL money.
Hansen 13 carries for 48 yards now and another TDI couldn't agree more. It's weird as he was lights out good his freshman year and since then looks like a different player. THe quarterback for the ASU Sun Devils is a way better qb and a day one NFL pick in my opinion.
Iowa State leads 15 - 0 at the moment in the first half. Carson Hansen with 12 carries for 45 yards so far! It's great to see him not sharing the
load like usual. Let's hope it continues.
as good as Iowa State’s defense, tight ends, and quarterback are, their offensive line has been struggling to open running lanes. it’s crazy how often Hansen gets hit in the backfield. also, i want to echo CarolinaSpeed’s thoughts regarding the play calling while Hansen is at tailback. i don’t recall a single run where he’s run outside the tackles, except for his second touchdown when he walked in untouched. hard to break long runs when everything is up the gut.
as a follow up … Hansen’s (black) backup comes in and (after an initial dive) promptly gets an off tackle run, a toss off tackle, and a counter off the weak side tackle. Hansen didn’t get an outside run yet his backup gets three in a row. no wonder the yards-per-carry numbers aren’t impressive for the big back.as good as Iowa State’s defense, tight ends, and quarterback are, their offensive line has been struggling to open running lanes. it’s crazy how often Hansen gets hit in the backfield. also, i want to echo CarolinaSpeed’s thoughts regarding the play calling while Hansen is at tailback. i don’t recall a single run where he’s run outside the tackles, except for his second touchdown when he walked in untouched. hard to break long runs when everything is up the gut.
I hate the ducks more than any team in football, but happy to hear thatDillon Thieneman with the walk-off INT in double overtime to win the game for the Ducks!
I thought this was a parody
Yeah my final take is gambling and NIL ruined CFB in Weimerica.LOL. My only take away from that game is that the Iowa defense did a good job slowing down the impressive Indiana offense and if Gronowski did not get injured they may have pulled out an upset.
