“This Iowa State team, they never beat themselves. They find a way to win the game within the game, and then they are a well-coached team. I think Coach Heacock, their defensive coordinator is one of the best in the country. And the defensive stats bear that out. They have great players on defense. [Greg] Eisworth is their middle safety, kind of like our Chris Miller who plays that same position for us and he is a dominant player who can defend the pass, come up on the run. They have Joshua Bailey their nose tackle and [Ray] Lima is just a fantastic player. They have great players all across the board on defense. They tackle, they get off blocks and Coach Heacock keeps you off balance, they always have something new for you, something different for you. They will pressure you, they will max drop. And offensively, Brock Purdy is a special player.”
Quarterback #12 Charlie Brewer — Almost every game from here on out is going to be about the quarterback play. Brewer had a great first half performance against Rice but was not great in the second half along with the rest of the offense.
Running back #25 Trestan Ebner — Explosive plays were the story of the first two games of the season for Ebner but last week he faltered. He had seven carries for 10 yards plus one catch for five yards, it was rough.
Cornerback #13 Raleigh Texada — The team leader in pass breakups is Raleigh Texada. I like what I have seen from the junior cornerback but he has not been challenged to this level yet.
Safety #3 Chris Miller — Miller has been all over the field for the Bears this year and he will need to play like that in this game as well. The secondary has not been tested like they will be in this one and Miller will play a big role if the Bears are successful.
Quarterback #12 Brock Purdy — The leader and key to the Cyclone offense is this sophomore quarterback. Purdy has been terrific this season as he is completing 73.5% of his passes, has 989 yards passing, and six touchdown.
Wide receivers #8 Deshaunte Jones and #1 Tarique Milton — The Bears have not faced a talented duo like this so far this season and the secondary will finally be tested. Senior receiver Deshaunte Jones came into the season with all of the hype as their number one guy.
Defensive end #3 Jaquan Bailey — Well this season has been quite different than last for the 2nd team All-Big 12 performer from a year ago. He had eight sacks and 14.5 tackles for loss last year but so far this season he has zero in both categories.
Safety #12 Greg Eisworth — The Preseason 1st-Team All-Big 12 player has gotten off to a hot start this season as he is averaging 9.7 tackles per game and has two pass breakups.

Keep calling that 3 man rush, Snow
It'll lose the game
Well, we pitched a shutout for three quarters sending primarily three rushers at Purdy. Iowa State figured our defense out a little in the fourth quarter, using the matchup advantage they had with their big tight ends on our smaller DBs. But on the whole, the defense was outstanding.Robert Wilson said:Robert Wilson said:

That 3 man rush consistently cost us dearly their last 2 TD drives
Gave the qb way way too much time and frees up the RB to flare out for all those open dump passes
Terrible and stubborn
We were far more successful when we sent at least a 4th man

We mixed it up a lot more in the first half sending extra guys
Got in a rut in the 4th qtr playing too soft
bear2be2 said:Your doubt doesn't make you a CABer, but it's time to change that mentality. Matt Rhule's teams have been really good in close games the past two years, and he's never lost when entering the fourth quarter with a lead. Keep the faith until this team gives you reasons not to. It's natural to be nervous in those situations, but too many here turn into fatalistic turds.BBWCBear said:MilliVanilli said:Baylor is 4-0 and on a six game win streak dating back to last year, that includes a bowl victory and you Caber High trolls continue to look like whiny *****es.BBWCBear said:
Loser U on the field now.
So.... the fact of my watching Baylor for sixty years and watching infinite "stubbing our own toe" games over that period thinking this looked like one brewing after a three TD lead... and you make it a Caber issue.? I have no response.
You probably weren't around for the '56 game with aggy in Waco were it was basically a duplicate with a different result. THAT'S one of many over 60+ years.
I am truly glad for this HC's win.
Ha only a bunch of butt hurt cabers would play victim on a thread about Baylor going 4-0 after they called these kids "loser u".vanillabryce said:

You're snowflakes who want to act like fools with impunity.
It's a good way to mask those butt hurt tears at Baylor moving on without you.vanillabryce said:MilliVanilli said:Ha only a bunch of butt hurt cabers would play victim on a thread about Baylor going 4-0 after they called these kids "loser u".vanillabryce said:

Don't worry. I'm not arguing with you. I'm laughing at you.
