Who's the player of the game?

Colbert. Best linebacker on the team, and guess what? When Welch comes back we probably won't see him again.

Welch was pretty impressive himself in that first game.

 

[DDThompson]

Defense.


Phil Parker has shown some new stuff the last couple of weeks —- has dropped Eppy into coverage and then brought oppo side LB on blitz.

It looks like with a strong DL and the reputation they already have that he’s willing to call a blitz when he wants to instead of when he has to.

I like some of that.

AJ was named co-defensive player of the week in the B1G. That’s probably your answer.

MVP - Josh Mueller

"During Iowa State’s first drive of the season Saturday, the Cyclones marched across the field and moved the ball all the way to the Iowa Hawkeyes’ 1-yard line. With the Cyclones facing a fourth-and-goal, head coach Matt Campbell sent his offense back on the field to try to get to the end zone.

But Iowa State left guard Josh Mueller was whistled for a false start penalty, pushing the ball back five yards and prompting Campbell to send his special teams unit onto the field to kick a field goal instead."

Could also make a case for their left tackle, who was running the swinging gate all game. Unfortunately for him, he was the swinging gate.
