    Always thought Rohach was the guy for 2013

    We want to give Sam more of a chance after this 3 games stretch against 3 fairly bad teams with atrocious defenses but we're ready to ship JB out and call his scholarship a waste after beating 3 teams in the top 20 in 8 starts and then struggling against 2 of the top 3 defenses in our...

    Always thought Rohach was the guy for 2013

    Also, be careful of falling in love with Rohach bc of practice or bc he has the "Elite 11" label. You could have gone just as far as him int that Elite 11 stuff if you had paid your money to attend camp just like he did.

    Always thought Rohach was the guy for 2013

    Wait, he lost you with 2 back to back games of less than 50% completions? Isn't that what Sam just did and the defenses JB faced were much better than the 3 Sam has faced. Sam can improve but JB can't? Lets not forget, bc of this QB fiasco and the Steele project, JB doesn't have much experience...

    Always thought Rohach was the guy for 2013

    Has any other QB in ISU history ever beaten 3 Top 20 teams for their career? How about in their first 8 starts? i don't think we have the QB problems we do if we would give JB some confidence and give him a little more leash. I'd love to see his season stats if he got to go against defenses like...

    Who do the Fans want as Starting QB?

    I'll take KU and Tech over either UCONN or UNI any day. Tech specifically hangs 50+ on either, especially if it is in Lubbock. We are talking about Big XII football players and athletes. C'mon son! JB had the same number of total yards in 5+ games that SJ did in his 8, about 1700 is that right?

    Who do the Fans want as Starting QB?

    I think it might have been a bit unrealistic of us to expect a 19 year-old kid to not be rattled in his first bowl game at Yankee Stadium. However, he did score half our points in less than a quarter, you know...when we were struggling but still competing.

    Who do the Fans want as Starting QB?

    I want to begin this post by saying that what follows is sincere and honest. I am not trying to rile anyone up or rock any boats. I legitimately want to know the answers to the 3 questions that follow: #1- How do we see the 3 wins by each of these QBs as even? SJ had 10 TOs in 3 wins...

    Paul Rhoads Press Conference from Today

    OK CYCLoneNation, Efficiency or Flash? As for me: Efficiency, all day- every day without even a single split second's worth of thought or hesitation.

    Tom Herman's Offense Implementation at OSU

    TH was a good guy and good coach, however he often made the mistake of out-coaching himself and over thinking everything. I truly believe that we will see marked improvement offensively due to the simplification of the offense. Thinning the play book will prove to be THE most effective thing...

    Scrimmage Recap: Defense shines on Saturday

    I think we will be fine at safety. Durrell "Pig" Givens, CJ Morgan, and Broomfield are going to provide us with some skill and athleticism at saftey & nickel. They are both smart guys who put themselves in good position, plus they both played quite a bit last year. Spring is the place for them...

    Scrimmage Recap: Defense shines on Saturday

    IMO the defense is going to be fine. With the LB core we have and the experience we have at D-Line, we should be solid. Of course the question mark is still TB and LJ's replacements, we have some talented athletes out there but we will have to rely more on scheme and disciplined coverage now...

    Scrimmage Recap: Defense shines on Saturday

    I posted this on a different thread because this thread was defensive, but what the heck, it seems to be offensive now. Why not add fuel to this fire? I have seen both scrimmages and a few practices and I believe that CPR is "coach-speaking" about the QB position. I think he wants all 3 of...

    EXTRA POINTS: Pass game potential, more notes

    Why not add fuel to this fire? I have seen both scrimmages and a few practices and I believe that CPR is "coach-speaking" about the QB position. I think he wants all 3 of those guys to continue working, but I believe it is over. I had heard that from several people around the team, but after...

    SCRIMMAGE RECAP: QB competition to linger, offense efficient

    Wow, quite a bit of hating there. Those were some strong words for the guy who may be our starting QB next year. As I stated above, JB has put on some weight and in the scrimmage the other day you'd be splitting hairs to judge the difference in arm strength of JB and SJ. JB looks to have...

    SCRIMMAGE RECAP: QB competition to linger, offense efficient

    Technically there were 2 turnovers. SJ had a turnover on downs (still statistically a TO) and SR had the INT. SJ and JB looked improved, agree with Tiller's assessment that the game has slowed down for them. Wrong on SJ completing 75%. However, JB & SJ did complete WELL over 60% combined. Side...
