I like Campbell, but am so tired of him always harping on the ‘Young’ card. First thing he brought up in the presser. Nobody cares, just keep winning. Good job, now beat Iowa. No more talk about young players! Winning is all that matters!

That's gotta be sent to no context cfb
Did anyone figure out what in the hell was going on with the north scoreboard and production prior to the team entrance?
Also, I’ve come around on the SEZ scoreboard and sound system. It’s a pile of sh*t and needs replaced badly

where's the highlight videos? the football twitter usually posts some thing by now. nothing on youtube either
Averaged 39 yards on punts last year. 54 today.
We were 100% in the red zone today and barely made 70% last season.
And most importantly, ZERO red zone turnovers, which as we all know Dekkers liked more than a five team parlay.
It's early, but these are the things you want to see for a team that lost a ton of one score games last year.

I thought the defense looked like they were pursuing with some DGAF-ness that imo was also missing last year even for how good they were.
Underrated part of today’s win is that ISU has now won 4 in a row against UNI. We don’t have to deal with this UNI game for another 3 years and only twice the rest of this decade. The next time ISU hosts UNI, it’ll have been a decade since UNI beat ISU
This all feels right

Good grief, there are posters still complaining about this? Given the starters we lost in the offseason 30-9 should be more than acceptable for a UNI team that always shows up against their in-state rivals when presented the opportunity.
This game had disaster written all over it into the off season and the team + coaches resoundingly proved us wrong. All the right steps were taken to avert the things people complained the loudest about last year.
They will only go up from here. Book it.

I'll take a 3 touchdown win over UNI. There were some real positives from the game:
- Special teams. 2 nice punt returns, 56 yard fg and long punts that flipped the field.
- Brecht was solid. Got rid of ball quickly and didn't make mistakes. I feel like Brecht earned the right to get all QB snaps against Iowa.
- We have a solid group of TE's who each bring different skills.
- Our defense was disruptive - 5 QB sacks & 2 INT's. THAT ROUGHING CALL ON ELLIS WAS BS!! Bacon brought it!
- Our run blocking was disappointing. Didn't see us creating holes.
- Production from our WR's was almost non-existent. We need to be able to stretch teams vertically.
- UNI was able to run on the edge.
- Thought our pass rush was effective, but guys seemed to get out of position at times. Against the Hawks we need to get QB pressure and keep QB in pocket. They love bootleg passes to TE's.
I just assumed they weren't throwing his way
Yeah idk I remember seeing him out there and then all of a sudden I noticed he wasn’t out there for a while. Saw him on the sidelines but I wonder if maybe he got dinged up and they shut him down?
Defense looked amazing. Special teams was light years better than last year. Looked so much more organized. Offense had some flashes but inconsistent and too many penalties. Overall a great game. Of the 3 units I would much prefer the offense to be behind feels like that's one that is easier to make big improvements over the course of the season.

The WR production seemed as much about play calling than anything. We rarely even attempted anything down field. Everything that went Noel's way was at or behind the LOS. UNI packed everything in, and we didn't do much to challenge them deep, outside of a few plays. We were comfortably ahead for most of the game, so perhaps we were content to let it play out the way it did, but I'm not sure that the lack of production can really be blamed on the receivers.
No, the team did, and it was awesome.
The good news is the overthrows were early, and he hit the deep ball in stride in the third. Probably just too cautious in his first start. The tight ends are back!
