    What's the problem with offense besides Tom Manning?

    Are we ignoring the loss of RB1, and that RB2 in Ames, was a factor here. There is a clear drop off after Brock who is a complete back. It’s all interrelated, can’t run the ball and the safeties can help cover more and WR can’t get open. This is a young team that has to grow up and a coaching...

    What's the problem with offense besides Tom Manning?

    No $#!+, but no one is suggesting we are going to win 9+ games and a NY6 bowl.

    What's the problem with offense besides Tom Manning?

    I hear you, but it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. TTU for years would start 4-0, 5-0 and finish 6-6, 7-5. B12 is going to be a grind this year and we just exposed the hell out of Ku’s Offense.

    What's the problem with offense besides Tom Manning?

    So 9+ wins and a NY6 Bowl win? doubtful, but maybe on the back of getting to play a full nonconference slate (Why I added the “+”).

    What's the problem with offense besides Tom Manning?

    Maybe he was more competent than some people give him credit for before he left ISU. Winningest QB, tons of records, helped this team punch above its weight. Some tend to focus on just the negatives.

    Ben Bruns KU Game Recap on Iowa Everywhere

    No idea on Drumline. Woody played HS basketball and is a big fan of the sport. He also cohosts with Jared who understands basketball much more than football. Perhaps he over does it, but I appreciate the comparisons.

    Ben Bruns KU Game Recap on Iowa Everywhere

    Obviously Manning has been more successful than Messingham. I wonder how number of offense plays per game look like added to this comparison. As you said, many variables.

    Ben Bruns KU Game Recap on Iowa Everywhere

    I hear what your saying, but based on recruiting ranks; our 2 deeps are maybe *as* strong as maybe 4-5 teams in the league.

    Maybe he’d like to transfer here?

    Ben Bruns KU Game Recap on Iowa Everywhere

    No. That wasn’t my point. We lost last weekend due to a myriad of things, as we all know on Offense and STs. I was specifically responding a “we pay enough”. Do we? Are we confident that we can afford truly upgrade at OC? If we buck a decades old trend, can we retain him? Replace Manning...

    Ben Bruns KU Game Recap on Iowa Everywhere

    He has a stronger arm, we’ve seen it. Several were saying that he could make all the throws, this we haven’t seen yet.

    Ben Bruns KU Game Recap on Iowa Everywhere

    Your first statement is another key element, and there are quite a few. The past few years we’ve relied so heavy on them to supplement the OL *and* the WR corps and they aren’t up to the task yet and certainly not the level of Kolar/Allen/Soehner.

    Ben Bruns KU Game Recap on Iowa Everywhere

    Are we paying enough? Again, last in B12 in number of donors, donations, NIL, etc.. I am all for upgrading at OC, but who here is writing the check? We’ve been punching above our weight for 6 years in FB *and* and an athletics department. Our ROI is pretty damn good, but their is a ceiling...

    This is a really interesting point. Maybe we should have looked to the portal more to try to offset this impact, to a degree.

    Tom Manning Needs To Go

    He has more INTs than TDS this season versus P5 competition. Small sample size, but not very encouraging. He may want to channel that aggressiveness into try to be more mobile, move the pocket, scramble, etc.. they also may want to start rolling him out.

    Tom Manning Needs To Go

    Everyone wants to blame someone and have a silver bullet to fix it. There are a number of things wrong with the offense, including the OL and the QB; as well an RB injuries and not a deep WR corps. The OC isn’t perfect, but it’s not lost on me that he has been in place during the winningest...

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

    Coach abandoned “margins” for “precision and detail” a few years ago. It’s obviously semantics; but the latter is about execution. This team needs to execute better, even just the “simple” things. Yesterday was sooo hard to watch. I’d gotten to were I didn’t worry about mistakes from a CMC...

    Mevis was great, but we win that game with Assalley too. Hopefully Gilbert can recover.
