*** Official Iowa vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
We had a starting NFL QB on our roster and he got worse every season under this HC and we could never win the conference. That was as good as it's ever going to get under Campbell; we've already peaked, ladies and gents.
Iowa could kneel the ball on offense every play and still win
It would take us 8 quarters just to tie the game if Iowa punted on first down with this offense.
We just get out coached. Every ******* time. We are never “ready” to play.
That first drive had me fired up, even with the blocked FG. We were moving the ball rushing inside and getting passes underneath. Suddenly we're trying to run outside all the time and dropping passes. We finally get a pick in this series, and then immediately give up a pick-6.
Outside the bad PI call, the officiating at least looks even. They've been allowing contact all game but call that one?

Dan Mccarney use to win these games with almost no defense. How is Campbell not able to do it, with one of the best defense in the history of ISU.

On another hand, it never does get old watching someone beat down Nebraska.
This is exactly the way not to play Iowa, and like every single year Campbell decides to do it anyways. Throwing short out routes and getting behind the sticks is just begging for interceptions, and yet we do it all the time. Not to mention a complete inability to catch the ball. Putting all the pressure on your defense will not win you games, like we saw last year
If we fired Campbell and made John Heacock the head coach, we would somehow get better.
It's the little things/winning in the margins.
Get creased on short yardage run, burned on play action, have a FG blocked, whiff a block on a punt return, continually run long developing plays up the middle & into the boundary, drop half a dozen passes, run poor out route on pass to wide side of the field (called out here early multiple times as a play we WILL get burned on eventually) and punt multiple times into the end zone & not get inside the 20.
Yeah, there is a chasm to span before getting remotely 'consistent'.
D started showing signs & brought pressure in 2nd quarter & didn't wait until the 2nd half. If the D can get a huge play (QB strip/sack?) there's a chance & plenty of football to play. However, if the offense can't get some things figured out, we could experience a 2nd half much like the first.

This is the sign of insanity , he has lost like this the last seven year and continues to do the same thing.
