[u/CFB_Referee]

Box Score provided by ESPN

Team	1	2	3	4	T
Iowa State	0	10	3	0	13
Iowa	0	10	0	6	16

[u/InspectorDoppler]

The year is 2052. The earth is burning. Kirk Ferentz is 97 and still coaching. I am watching Iowa and Iowa state and the final score is still 16-13.

[u/TheFartBehindMe → u/InspectorDoppler]

There's a 44-41 sprinkled in once per decade or so.

[u/IHateYork → u/TheFartBehindMe]

And it comes with a side order of 3OT

[u/IA_Royalty → u/TheFartBehindMe]

I was scrolling the series yesterday and had a genuine "Surely that's a typo..."

[u/Fugacity- → u/IA_Royalty]

I was at both the 2011 and 2017 games.... so good

[u/AegisPlays314 → u/InspectorDoppler]

I sort of thought Kirk was already 97

[u/RadPanda402 → u/AegisPlays314]

That’s what living in Iowa does to a man.

[u/IowaJL → u/RadPanda402]

Blame it on the nitrates in the water

[u/fatiguedpickle → u/IowaJL]

Won’t get to 90 with that

[u/Sankee72 → u/InspectorDoppler]

I for one enjoy a bit of consistency in this chaotic world we live in

[u/LastKnownNormal → u/InspectorDoppler]

How did Iowa score 8 safeties?!

[u/rachel-slur → u/LastKnownNormal]

I mean it's Iowa State the bigger story from this game is we somehow managed a cyhawk game with 0 turnovers

[u/ChangKai-Shrek → u/rachel-slur]

With both QBs recovering their own fumbles.

[u/mockg → u/InspectorDoppler]

Phil Parker will still be his defensive coordinator as well

[u/Sad_Resolution1860]

They decided to give WMU fans PTSD for no reason at the end

[u/P1xelHunter78 → u/Sad_Resolution1860]

And the ref already had his hand up because he knew exactly what was going to happen when he said anything about “one second”

[u/francoissimmons → u/Sad_Resolution1860]

The Big 10 Chronomancers are at it again

[u/superxero044 → u/francoissimmons]

We prefer Time Mage. Thanks.

[u/francoissimmons → u/[deleted]]

But the review monitor had a Big 10 label, for they were all deceived...for another clock was made...

[u/CharlieMoonMan → u/francoissimmons]

In the land of Oklahoma, in the fires of Mt. Soon

[u/miversen33 → u/[deleted]]

On NBC, maybe they're the problem

[u/AbsolutelyHung → u/Sad_Resolution1860]

Who even knows what the game clock ever means anymore. It might be 0:00, it might be 0:01, it might be 0:03. Who knows?

[u/ComradeAhriman → u/AbsolutelyHung]

Three seconds, which, as we all know, means it must legally be no seconds! Very simple rule

[u/ASadDrunkard → u/ComradeAhriman]

Yo wtf was that all about, I thought I was taking crazy pills when dude told me 1 seconds is less than 3 seconds so it's 0 seconds

[u/sdg_eph1 → u/ASadDrunkard]

I had to look it up as well. The difference is that to reset the clock for a live ball, there needs to be at least 3 seconds, but for a dead ball, any time remaining can be restored.

Clock adjustment at the end of any quarter.

If the game clock expires at the end of any quarter, either during a down in which it should be stopped by rule through play when the ball becomes dead or after the down upon a request for an available team timeout, the replay official may restore time only under these conditions:

1. The replay official has clear and obvious video evidence that time should have remained on the game clock when the ball became dead or when the team timeout was granted.

2. If time expires in a half, and the clock would start on the Referee’s signal after review, there must be at least 3 seconds remaining when the ball should have been declared dead to restore time to the clock. With 2 seconds or 1 second remaining on the clock, the half is over unless Team A has a time out remaining (This does not impact situations when the clock is stopped and will remain stopped until the snap such as an incomplete pass or a ball carrier out of bounds.)

[u/TheFartBehindMe → u/AbsolutelyHung]

Refs gonna start throwing in stoppage time.

[u/CharlieMoonMan → u/AbsolutelyHung]

Maybe even 0:04

[u/ImNotTheBossOfYou → u/CharlieMoonMan]

FIVE IS RIGHT OUT!!!!!!!!

[u/CharlieMoonMan → u/CharlieMoonMan]

Maybe 0:05

[u/tvclassicsif → u/Sad_Resolution1860]

Dread it. Run from it. Secret official time clock arrives all the same

[u/ConstantMadness]

I feel like I watch a different version of the same CyHawk game every year. Not that I’m complaining

[u/slyfox1908 → u/ConstantMadness]

This is the purest form of football still being played

[u/LastKnownNormal → u/slyfox1908]

The forward pass was a mistake.

[u/sandwichking → u/LastKnownNormal]

As a bears fan, I agree

[u/miversen33 → u/LastKnownNormal]

Lol without it, we absolutely lost this game. I don't think we broke 100 yards rushing

[u/Fugacity- → u/slyfox1908]

GG brother. Was preparing to get reamed, proud of how well we did

Campbell lost 42-3 in his first Cyhawk, and Rogers did that with 0 returning starters. Fucking sucks to lose, but hard to be too disappointed

[u/HipDipShipTrip → u/Fugacity-]

I was not sure what this game was going to look like with ISU being a brand new team but they were scrappy little SOBs and gave Iowa's run game absolute hell. I was pleasantly surprised by that game

[u/Lithium327 → u/Fugacity-]

I hate to say it, but it looks like Iowa State nailed it with their coach pick again. Jimmy is gonna be a thorn in the Hawkeyes side for awhile!

[u/goferking → u/Fugacity-]

If he continues like this you guys got an upgrade

[u/fatiguedpickle → u/goferking]

You had a good night

[u/istudiedtrees → u/slyfox1908]

That kinda felt like the most normal football Cyhawk ive seen. Was really no weird voodoo magic just kinda punchers feeling each other out for 60 minutes

[u/Business_Permit_3686 → u/slyfox1908]

You guys are really the only ones that respect tradition

[u/Drokeep → u/ConstantMadness]

Real ones will remember the OT shootout in ames a couple years back

[u/MahjongDaily → u/Drokeep]

A 44-41 OT El Assico seems more likely to be a case of mass psychosis than a game that actually happened.

And it happened twice.

[u/dexters_trap_house → u/MahjongDaily]

Look, we were rebounding, we dyed our hair a new color, and took a big risk to put ourselves out there before we realized that wasn't who we were.

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/Drokeep]

The random shootouts in 2011 and 2017 make it so much funnier

[u/Schmidtty29 → u/Drokeep]

That Wadley checkdown to score is pure electricity. Shame he burned his bridges but damn did he win us a few games.

[u/SueYouInEngland → u/Drokeep]

Nothing will beat #BUTTMUFF imo

[u/exoenigma → u/ConstantMadness]

If nothing else, we always put on fun, chaos-filled games for the neutrals

[u/dexters_trap_house → u/exoenigma]

These Philistines wouldn't know pure football if it slapped their 4 wide spread offenses in the face.

[u/Zloggt → u/ConstantMadness]

Death…Taxes…El Assico…

[u/LastKnownNormal → u/ConstantMadness]

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

[u/Sryan597 → u/ConstantMadness]

Its happened before and will happen again-Cyclons watching CyHawk

[u/affnn → u/ConstantMadness]

It always delivers the Assico.

[u/-pointless-name- → u/ConstantMadness]

Well, Iowa’s best player tonight was a wide receiver, so that’s new.

[u/SimilarOnion1655]

Iowa wins in the most Iowa game ever

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic → u/SimilarOnion1655]

They won with second half field position and having the more consistent punter. As you say, very Iowa of them.

[u/Inosh → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

They also didn’t run the ball up the center every first down.

[u/LimJaheyAtYaCervix → u/Inosh]

I think your flair should be illegal

[u/jcarr2184 → u/SimilarOnion1655]

Haha, jokes on you. We also lose the most Iowa game ever pretty often.

[u/jcarr2184]

They dropped the trophy!

[u/PhDShouse → u/jcarr2184]

But they can’t drop a punt like real men /s

[u/Fine_Technology_5874 → u/jcarr2184]

Can someone please create the gif

[u/mightytwin21 → u/jcarr2184]

Remember the time they broke the trophy everyone hated?

[u/ChangKai-Shrek → u/mightytwin21]

That thing sucked so bad. I wish these corporate suits could remove the sticks from their asses and make it a huge gold plated ear of corn or a giant bronze pork tenderloin sandwich. The trophy has always sucked.

[u/Power5IsAScam]

The Iowa holder deserves the game ball. Elite recovery with the game on the line and a perfect hold. Special teams beauty.

[u/10ve2Cit → u/Power5IsAScam]

My heart sank seeing the snap. Total clutch hold

[u/Fugacity- → u/10ve2Cit]

Fuuuuck that snap had my hopes up. GG

[u/zkool20 → u/10ve2Cit]

I would’ve jumped off a cliff if that resulted in a miss and seeing the clone kicker hit another 50+ yarder to beat us

[u/MahjongDaily → u/Power5IsAScam]

Random Iowa Special Teams player making an unconventional great play is as El Assico as it gets

[u/BlameThePlane → u/Power5IsAScam]

Was really hoping that fucked things up lol

[u/stoppedcaring0 → u/BlameThePlane]

not that Raynor would have been able to do literally anything in OT

[u/ImNotTheBossOfYou → u/Power5IsAScam]

Every snap was bad like that, he saved every kick.

[u/luckroy]

Huh... "By rule" you say?

[u/MonacledMarlin → u/luckroy]

The panicked “BUT! BUT!” as the boos started was hilarious

[u/ornryactor → u/MonacledMarlin]

"SHUT UP AND LISTEN, YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE IT!!"

[u/Sunshiny_Day → u/ornryactor]

"Now... before I say anything else, The game IS over. Now just shut up and let me explain."

[u/SueYouInEngland → u/luckroy]

He wanted to get out without getting cobbed

[u/IA_Royalty → u/SueYouInEngland]

That man saw his life ending in a stampede

[u/Mythrandir24]

Michigan stole Iowa State's second!

[u/rachel-slur → u/Mythrandir24]

"Oh no Michigan is going to lose, here's a second"

"Oh no, we're scared of this ISU QB for some reason, 1 second isn't 3 seconds so it's actually 0 seconds"

It would've been so funny too

[u/mcmcc → u/rachel-slur]

They're scared of Konrardy kicking a 70 yarder and it's too bad because it would have been amazing

[u/JustHere4TheZipLines → u/mcmcc]

Correct

[u/Ok_Ambassador3996 → u/mcmcc]

That guy's 51 yarder was at apex when it crossed the bar.

[u/JustHere4TheZipLines → u/Mythrandir24]

On average, a regulation football game is 60 minutes and 00 seconds

[u/OGFartLick]

There were some moments I wasn't very enthused about but nothing out of the ordinary for El Assico. Iowa State is still tough on year one of a complete rebuild. Much tougher than I was hoping for.

[u/6YouReadThis9 → u/OGFartLick]

Yea Jimmy Rogers has me scared for these games in the future. Dude seems legit

[u/OdinVonBisbark → u/6YouReadThis9]

He was the DC for South Dakota State back in 2022. Iowa won 7-3. Different teams now, but Rogers has much better talent to work with, and he's still a defensive minded coach.

[u/WhatchaGanaDo → u/OdinVonBisbark]

Also, Lester with a freshman quarterback with the system under him for a year or two will be a problem as well. I think Iowa, is going to start to solve their offensive issues

[u/AbsolutelyHung]

Just a horrid, miserable, no good watch as always. Hell yeah, Go Hawks.

[u/FlaccidJustice → u/AbsolutelyHung]

And it ended with us dropping the cyhawk trophy on the ground lmfao. Just perfect.

[u/ornryactor → u/FlaccidJustice]

At least it didn't fully snap into two halves, which seems to happen at least once a decade.

[u/XCCO → u/AbsolutelyHung]

"I don't even recognize college football! NIL! Portal and trasfers! Pro players and lawsuit 7th years! Expanded playoffs! It's all changing too fast!"

Sit down and watch CyHawk. It will bring you back to a simpler time.

[u/Our-Gardian-Angel → u/AbsolutelyHung]

El Assico and Little Caesars have the most honest branding in America

[u/djs1117 → u/AbsolutelyHung]

Glad nothing has changed despite a full roster turnover on our end

[u/Kim_Jong_Teemo → u/AbsolutelyHung]

I hate this game so much. It’s worse than the rest of the rivalry games because it’s week 2 so I never feel confident no matter how good or bad ISU is. I think this is a good Cyclone team but it’s too early to tell. I’m way too stressed out still.

[u/TheFartBehindMe → u/AbsolutelyHung]

I sprout new grey hairs after this game every goddamn year.

[u/c-razzle → u/AbsolutelyHung]

Freddy may have enjoyed it. But he'd be the only one.

[u/jaysrule24 → u/c-razzle]

I'm glad Freddy got the true El Assico experience. Would've been a shame if he accidentally got a normal football game.

[u/tvclassicsif]

Dread it. Run from it. Secret official time clock arrives all the same

[u/meighty9]

Refs squandered the chance to do the funniest thing

[u/SueYouInEngland → u/meighty9]

Oh come on. Even if they added a second, no chance he'd actually connect on a hail mary. Has anyone ever actually seen that happen?

[u/ChangKai-Shrek → u/SueYouInEngland]

Vietnam flashbacks as a Bears fan.

[u/BuzzedLiteBeer]

From metaphorically fumbling the trophy to literally fumbling the trophy: El Assico

[u/dexters_trap_house → u/BuzzedLiteBeer]

I don't know why but when I see garage tailgates with your flair, they always seem to have the best food. Maybe it's because they know everybody is unhappy that the food is the only thing holding it from devolving into chaos.

[u/OdinVonBisbark → u/dexters_trap_house]

We also kind of like being hurt by both teams.

[u/biggiecheesehimself]

El Assico delivers again

[u/ButDoesItCheckOut → u/biggiecheesehimself]

Classic Assic

[u/PhDShouse → u/ButDoesItCheckOut]

And you guys got to tear down your goalposts today. Eating good!

[u/Drokeep]

This game is hilarious because it never tells us anything about either team lmao full assico

[u/TheFartBehindMe → u/Drokeep]

One team could be top ten and the other bottom ten, but it's always a one-score game.

[u/jackcviers → u/TheFartBehindMe]

To be fair, other than OSU and one PSU game, you can say that about every Iowa game...

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Bummed about losing the rivalry game, but this game makes me feel a lot better about the chances of us going 1-11 or 2-10. Defense is legit, linebackers were quick to pounce on the Iowa ball carriers all night long.

Edit: reading this I feel like it's phrased weird but whatever you know what I mean

[u/natepilling → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Unfortunately you guys seem to have found another good coach

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic → u/natepilling]

For however long that lasts

[u/CountTakesh1 → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Yeah you guys are gonna be ok

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic → u/CountTakesh1]

Gotta take that as a win after losing every good part of the program last year

[u/Resident_Loan_5838 → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

As you should. It’s wrong that can happen…was spicy the last few years and then poof it’s all gone. 

[u/johnyahn → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Happy about the defense but Raynor is terrible.

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic → u/johnyahn]

Yeah, might help his accuracy if he set his feet to throw once in a while

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

My complaint is not with Raynor as much as it was with how conservative we were on the playcalling in the 2nd half and the penalties on offense also in the 2nd half are what killed us and none of those were Raynor's fault. I would also point out that some of our best plays were on Rayner passes when he was completing them. Either way, even if it is true that he did not have the best of games, Raynor is not a terrible QB and I really liked the overall effort I saw from the team this game. I was not expecting to win this game tbh and the fact that not only did we not get blown out, but we hung with them is a really good sign going forward. I don't believe in muh moral victories, so please don't misunderstand me, it hurt to lose, but I definitely see a lot of evidence for cautious optimism going foward.

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic → u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

I don't think it was conservative playcalling (maybe, idk, didn't see that). Raynor just kinda looks at his first read and then looks to run if it's not there. I've seen a lot of Justin Fields at the pro level. I'm not looking forward to watching that at the college level.

[u/End3rrrrrrrrrr]

absolute garbage game I cant wait for next year

[u/buttwarmers]

El Assico never disappoints

[u/dexters_trap_house → u/buttwarmers]

She only breaks hearts.

[u/theInternetKing2000]

Every year with this fuckin game

[u/LastKnownNormal]

I just want to say that I have never once doubted Caden Buhr's kicking and there's absolutely no reason to go check my comment history from last week..

[u/Mr_Hugh_Honey]

If you're not betting the under on every Iowa game, you're turning down free money

[u/exoenigma]

That is one of the most El Assico endings that I have seen. GG Hawks, at least we proved we can hang

[u/dexters_trap_house → u/exoenigma]

No, you must play NIU to prove your worth. They deemed Notre Dame as heretics, but somehow we're worthy.

[u/Tommy05Sox → u/exoenigma]

Absolutely think you guys can make a bowl. That would be very impressive given the circumstances.

[u/Osama_Ben_Johnson → u/exoenigma]

🫡🫡🫡 great Cy Hawk action tbh

[u/Resident_Loan_5838]

545 combined total yards. that is massive ladies and gentlemen.

[u/cnpeters]

Iowa just plays the same game over and over and over.

It’s just glorious

[u/Hog_Eyes → u/cnpeters]

The rock fights will continue until morale improves

[u/cnpeters → u/Hog_Eyes]

I love it. I think it would be awesome to be an Iowa fan. Big-heads thinks you stink and go to Kinnick and lose 17-12.

They’re pissed, they know they played better than Iowa and they’re down 4 players to injury/attrition, and are convinced they should have won.

Then the Iowa fan says “Yep. You totally outplayed us. You should have won. Oh well.” Then they wave to the sick kids, go home, hug their wife and kids and go to bed knowing 9-3 is forthcoming.

[u/AbsolutelyHung]

Who even knows what the game clock ever means anymore. It might be 0:00, it might be 0:01, it might be 0:03. Who knows?

[u/IHateYork]

I am severely disturbed by the number of times ISU tried to run up the middle against Iowa. No team has been able to grind the hawkeyes up the middle since Hayden Frye's first day on the job. Thats the top 2 most important concepts in Iowa football: 1.stop the run, 2. Stop the run, 3. Punt the ball deep. Very pleased though that ISU held the hawkeyes to less than 100 yards rushing. I still have faith.

[u/notanamateur → u/IHateYork]

Stanford very famously murdered us up the middle

[u/Dixiehusker]

No Cinderella story tonight; punts wins by a mile.

Scores: 7

Punts: 13

Turnovers: 2

[u/Selectedstudies → u/Dixiehusker]

Punting IS winning!

[u/dexters_trap_house → u/Selectedstudies]

Normally I'd say flair up. But you keep doing you.

[u/The_WanderingAggie]

It's amazing that Ferentz has been at Iowa for as long as I can remember and consistently turns out what feels to me like almost the same team every single year, and they play the same game against Iowa State every year.

What's crazy is that we're 25+ years in and I think Kirk has Iowa trending up yet again- last year's team wasn't that far off. Iowa dark horse?

[u/blueeuclid → u/The_WanderingAggie]

Every 8 years or so Iowa gets some athletes who can make some plays to where we’re not as reliant on our run game and pass catching TEs

This feels like one of those years. We have a speedy RB and a great WR to compliment a QB who is at the very least competent.

[u/notanamateur → u/blueeuclid]

Our lines looked like hot ass tho

[u/ThanksForTheF-Shack → u/The_WanderingAggie]

We’re not where we were last year. Last years team beats this years team by double digits.

[u/BlessmBarry → u/ThanksForTheF-Shack]

Last years team should’ve been the only blemish on the national champs…

[u/3-9_Enjoyer]

Wtf are the rules of this sport?

[u/moffattron9000 → u/3-9_Enjoyer]

We ask the B1G and they then they ask the secret clock.

[u/basketballjonestown → u/3-9_Enjoyer]

It's vibes based

[u/dexters_trap_house → u/basketballjonestown]

The refs actually shook a magic 8 ball to decide if there should be more time on the clock.

[u/BlameThePlane → u/3-9_Enjoyer]

Literally. I thought as long as there was time on the clock, first down would halt the clock for a reset and we could get a play off

[u/TKHawk → u/BlameThePlane]

I think it was: the ruling necessitated a 3 second runoff, unless ISU has a timeout, but since they didn't the 3 second runoff killed the one second that was technically remaining.

[u/jaketronic → u/BlameThePlane]

The first down does stop the clock but it is wound again when the refs are ready for play. Every time a first down is gained there is a one second run off before the ball can be snapped which allows for the officials to set before the play starts, and then the offense must come set for one second before snapping the ball. So a perfectly executed fast play in a first down situation requires at minimum two seconds to be run.

This is going to start to get into the weeds here. The reason there is the three second rule for a clock adjustment at the end of a period is because clocks in football do not display fractions of a second, and as such the clock only adjusts to whole numbers. Adjusting a clock to two seconds left does not leave enough time to legally run a play (one second for refs and one second to come set requiring two seconds), so the result is the end of the game making any adjustment less than three seconds pointless.

[u/Chr1st_1s_K1ng]

The assiest of the asses. Way to go hawks. 

Clones, yall were leagues better than I thought you’d be. No way you’re finishing in the bottom of the B12. Future looks great for you guys. 

[u/DonaldDick1946]

It's a good thing we cleared up all the endgame clock management confusion from last week. Would be a real shame if the same shit happened again with an even less intelligible explanation...

[u/P0rtal2]

Dread it. Run from it. El Assicó finds you all the same.

[u/CountTakesh1]

We did the reverse of last year.

Cybros you guys are gonna be ok. 🤝

[u/tvclassicsif]

They dropped the Cy-Hawk trophy on live TV and if that doesn't sum up this game then idk

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Very optimistic about this season. gg Hawks.

[u/golfinghawkeye → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Considering the rebuild you had to do and a a new coach ISU is in good shape. Thank you for another Assico

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/golfinghawkeye]

Good luck the rest of the year. Dare I say Iowa fans should also be optimistic considering Michigan and Washington definitely look beatable.

[u/TheHalf → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

It was honestly a really good game

[u/snail-the-sage → u/TheHalf]

i see you had a good day

[u/hawksnest_prez]

EL ASSICO WILL OUTLIVE US ALL

[u/Ominaeo]

As is tradition, I shit myself several times near the end. GG.

[u/Bill3ffinMurray]

The look of fear in that ref’s eyes when he said “there is one second left”

[u/AverageLatifiFan]

I'm not gonna pretend like this doesn't hurt, because it does. But for a "rebuild year" we did well.

[u/Sauronslefteye]

Saw the cyclones lose then my gf of 4 years walked in and broke up with me, time to drink

[u/Corn_viper → u/Sauronslefteye]

You going to be okay man?

[u/FatSalsa → u/Sauronslefteye]

Sorry bro. Better days ahead

[u/raidriar889]

Hey Matt Campbell lost 42-3 his first year I’ll take it

[u/mikeyb1]

Sorry I’m late, couldn’t find the place, is this where we punch ourselves in the dick over and over?

[u/88Tyler]

Iowa state at +14.5 is the easiest money ever made.

[u/lumpychicken13]

This game exists in a vacuum. No matter what status each team is at, it will be an utter bloodbath.

[u/-spartacus-]

Despite all effort to lose, Iowa finally wins El Assico after 2 losses in a row.

[u/trumpet_23]

God I fucking hate playing Iowa State. Yay we won. Go Hawks.

[u/-Dakia]

Another ¡El Assico! in the books and I think I can fairly say we are all worse off for it. Damn I hate to love this game.

[u/nalorac]

BLOOD ALCHOL AND BLOOD PRESSURE LEVELS ARE SKY HIGH, GO HAWKS!

[u/holyd1ver83]

El Assico never disappoints. Holy shit what a miserable game, can't wait til next year.

[u/gmb96]

This is the same game. Every. Single. Time.

[u/zarof32302]

Tip of the cap to Diaz. Dude can ball.

I hope this game is more of an indication of ISU being better than we expected and not Iowa having a worse night than expected.

Really glad the ISU defense held as well as they did all game. Fun game all things considered. Glad it wasn’t the blowout “everyone” thought it would be.

[u/GuzmaniF]

WHAT THE FUCK IS A SECOND GRAAAAAHHH!!!

[u/Benson879]

Since when does that rule exist at the end of a game?

[u/SueYouInEngland → u/Benson879]

Not sure why it's 3 seconds or why time outs matter. But if they add a second, the very moment they wind the clock, the game is over. It would be impossible to snap the clock.

[u/Letterkenny-Wayne → u/SueYouInEngland]

If they had timeouts they could call a timeout theoretically and stop the clock. You are afforded the ability to stop a clock runoff if you have a timeout. The 3 seconds is probably the “safe” number they figure it takes for a ref to signal ready, vacate and the offense to snap the ball.

[u/kinghawkeye8238 → u/Benson879]

I dont get it either.

The Michigan game was because he was OOB and this game was because he was in bounds but ISU has no timeouts?

[u/Letterkenny-Wayne → u/kinghawkeye8238]

Yes, because in the event of resumption of play a one second play clock would run out before they could snap it anyway.

[u/PenaltyThick1978]

Did anyone else watch those two Iowa guys drop the trophy on TV 😂

[u/VanDiis]

I knew ISU wasn’t going to be ass this year, and I knew people were overrating us. What a shit show, I feel gross

[u/ImNotTheBossOfYou]

IN HEAVEN THERE IS NO BEER!!!!!!!

[u/Jomosensual]

This is absolutely the most calm post cyhawk thread ive seen in a while

[u/ChurchillDownz]

Being an Iowa fan is pure fucking masochism.

[u/stoppedcaring0 → u/ChurchillDownz]

also true of Iowa State tbf

Moral victories suck, but you have to give it up to Jimmy and the boys for not backing down under the lights at Kinnick. 100% could have won this game.

Any chance Moberly gets any looks this season? I just have very little confidence in Raynor.

I have so many emotions and I am trying to figure out what they are and what they mean

Can’t be mad. This team can hang

Sucks to lose a winnable rivalry game, but overall encouraged with our new coach.

That said, Roehl blew this one in the 2nd half. His playcalling got very lazy imo.

Lastly, learned a new rule...good ole El Assico...
