*** Official IOWA STATE vs Ohio Game(Day) Thread ***

Well after we lose, I hope Colorado wins because we won't hear about anything else from ESPN or anyone else. There is no news but them.
 
who's doing victory laps? we're not celebrating this - we're just calling it as it is: BAD FOOTBALL.
It is bad football. Nobody is denying that. But the posters laughing at others for having faith or hope in this team are ridiculous. Things like "where the Campbell can do no wrong posters at now?"and such. That does us no good.
 
We have rushed for nine yards in this half
With our seeming inability to an elite run blocking O-line, I kind of wish at this point we'd have focused more on a wide open spread attack instead of trying to be the power running team of the Big XII.

I think wide splits and zone blocking better suits our O-line of the past few seasons IMO.
 
This team doesn't seem to enjoy playing football. Zero energy or emotion.

This is the concerning part. ZERO fire, energy, or intensity.

We are now at 5 half’s of football and 4 of them have been fun to watch. I know style shouldn’t matter but I don’t want to pay thousands of dollars per year to watch this brand of football.

The “Campbell can do no wrong” posters might be a small part of why we’re here in the first place.
 
We’ll see if they can come out better after half. Lot of teams come out flat on a Mac road game. We’re not good enough to do that and win
 
4 first downs, 0.7 yards per rush attempt to Ohio’s 4.9 and they had the ball 8 minutes longer. O line isn’t very nasty at run blocking and imposing their will on the defense it’s the other way around. Sad!
 
For those just joining, here is the first half synopsis:

The offense’s only hope is to do the opposite of what Ohio expects. Pass when they expect you to run and run when they expect you to pass.
