    3rd and long

    Yes, 8 guys should be able to cover but not for an eternity, which is what Stanley had.

    3rd and long

    I didn't say we would get to him, I said we would speed up the play. Stanley had too much time on that play and it costs us the game in my opinion. I know they only scored 3 points but they also kept the ball and kept us from good field position.

    3rd and long

    TOE is 3rd and 22 inside the 10. We rush 3 players and give a senior QB all the time in the world to complete the pass. This is what Rhoads used to do and it drove me crazy then. How many times during that era did we watch the other QB scramble forever and then complete a long pass. I am not...

    Carlton signs Australian contract

    They are not essentially doing the same job. Women's basketball and Men's basketball are only similar in they have a basketball and score points. If the women want to make NBA money they should be in the NBA. I know it is not politically correct to say so but the athleticism of the NBA is...

    Submit Your Questions for the 3/13 Mid-Week Mailbag

    While we were playing well it appeared we took a lot of 16-18' shots. There was a column about that and it seems after that the team either wants a layup or a 3 pointer. What caused us to go away from the mid-range jumper?

    Sources: Shaka Smart’s Departure Likely

    You missed one, there are a lot of people on this board who would have put Prohm on there. I think Steve is doing a heck of a job and a good fit for the Clones. If people would understand that the possibility that we become a blue blood are pretty thin and if we make a the second weekend every...

    Purdy wins Big 12 Freshman of the Year!

    We missed Lanning's run ability last year until Purdy came in. Kempt and Zeb were both too immobile and defenses didn't have to respect the run. Hoping this slows down the rush a bit next year and we do a better job of using the RPO to break free Montgomery if he comes back or the other 3 who...

    Wigginton news (until he is back) thread

    It really sucks him being out and the only good thing is he will get rested for when he comes back. I think he has been playing non stop more or less for 24 months. The Fab Four will get freshman legs at some time. LW needs to be back by then.

    Interesting hot takes about Campbell from the Iowa forums..

    Nebby hired the guy from Washington who had never won more than 9 games and it didn't pan out well. I realize Campbell had success at Toledo but if they are paying attention I think they would wait to make sure it is lasting. The fan base might even look at the fact Campbell is still using...

    Blum: Bring on November

    CPR inherited Klein and Knott who were a pretty darn good pair of LBers. If we don't have a stellar defense we will never have the offensive team that can hold on to win game after game. When we are good, our defense has always been able to bail us out. The best part is a lot of this defense...

    Restaurant Suggestions After the KU Game

    If you are headed back to Des Moines stop at the Legends by the race track. Lots of shops and plenty of choices for restaurants. Cabellas is always a good place to walk around.

    Being a long Time ISU fan

    When the Men's BB team would get down most years you always have the feel that they have a run or two in them to get the W. I am not there yet with Campbell's teams but each W puts me that much closer. I was just thinking about this exact same thing today. How many times did Mac have the BXII...

    First play after a turnover

    So you're saying that play predictability wasn't one of Rhoads' biggest problem? His coordinators let him down time after time. It was his job to fix that but he either wouldn't or couldn't adjust.

    First play after a turnover

    This is the exact same thing that got Rhoads in trouble. He was even worse at predictability after a turnover. I was complaining some but also curious as to why this would be a game plan. I know we have plenty of people with football savvy. Beyond wanting to prove we can run what does doing...

    First play after a turnover

    I can't believe we can't be more creative in these. So far this season we have run between the tackles on all but one turnover. The one time we didn't, TD. Is Campbell trying to make a statement by running it right at them?

    Media: One doesn't simply waltz into JTS?

    Even Herbstreet picked us. I know the spelling is wrong but I don't care. I think he was just trying to get some fans back after his ******* remarks from last fall

    Playing Calling.

    I think the majority of this falls with Purdy. He give Campbell so many options with his mobility.

    Fighting Halgerson's

    How many times did they stop play with an injury? It was almost embarrassing that every time we got on a roll one of their players went down and they got a free timeout to plan the stop. I remember TCU being bad at this but tonight was the worst. There needs to be some type of rule you get X...

    Kyle Kempt Future

    It would be a surprise but if Kempt gets drafted as in a late round, I could see him becoming another Sage that carries a clipboard mostly but learns the game from an NFL standpoint. At that time maybe he decides he likes that and becomes a coach. That would fit the AClone model and gets him...
