In what will go down as one of our most impressive wins of the season, the defense was the driving force today. The 2nd team defense gave up some late yards & a TD, otherwise the already impressive stat line would have been stellar. In the end, we allowed only 14 points on 10 1st downs. Gave up barely over 250 yards & only 100 thru the air while holding Iowa St under 40% completion. RB Jason Harris finished with 200+ yds, but about 120 of those came on 1 early TD run & 1 late run vs. the backups. We recorded a season best 8 sacks, with DE Greg Murphy breaking the school record with 4 in a game. We held the Cyclones to 36% on 3rd down and 0 for 2 in the redzone. Forced 4 fumbles, recovering 3 & 3 picks for a total of 6 turnovers, including 1 pick 6 for a TD by CB Hayes. In short, complete domination.
On offense, for the most part things went well. But we have developed 2 very disturbing trends. We allowed 5 more sacks & fumbled 4 more times, raising our NCAA worst in totals in each. Coach Juggs is big on mistake free football, so despite the lopsided win & 6-1 start to the season, his yells could be heard from the locker room before the media was let in. When they were, a fuming Coach said, "This $hit HAS to stop, immediately! It's a team-wide plague, and I can't sit the entire team. But I can make them practice to exhaustion tomorrow", before storming off to his office.
