Another year without an All-American Oline where he just had to play action and read like two options, one being a future All-NFL tight end.
A one win conference season (with by far the worst offense) after being in the top third for 5 straight years is a collapse IMO. Subjective though.
But I think recovering to sustained success from a one win conference season in P5 is objectively unprecedented. If it's not, I'd like to see examples.
An 11-14 record the last two years requires an advanced intelligence and sophistication to grasp such a remarkable achievement.
Lol seriously!? Have to chuckle at Iowa State fans sometimes.
If 2021 wasn’t disappointing for you, then you do not care about winning or Iowa State’s future place in the college athletic landscape. It’s literally THAT important to win when you have a chance to win.
We had “preseason” expectations because we had a complete roster and our most NFL talent ever. It literally means ******* that “7 wins” historically is a typically good year for Iowa State given its history. History means nothing. Absolutely nothing. Winning now is ALL that matters. Remember a coach that said “******** programs go 6-6”? - he wasn’t wrong. ******** programs also go 7-6 when they absolutely 100% should be pushing 9 or 10 or more wins when they have the roster to do so. Nearly ever other school in the country has these types of years. Even Kansas!
We barely had any of that his first year at ISU and we were much better offensively.
Explain that.
He was better with CPR's leftovers.
And the most interceptions and one of the lowest passer ratings. I think he can make most of the throws usually, but I don't think he's a good QB at this point.
I looked at season stats. Some surprising and some obvious.
Missed FG ISU 10 OPP 5
Def Sacks ISU 18 OPP 26
Int thrown ISU 15 OPP 7
0 pts in RZ ISU 13 times OPP 3 times
total points ISU -1 for season
114th in FBS scoring
FD ISU 245 OPP 186
Punts ISU 55 OPP 70
3down conv ISU 42% OPP 29%
YPG ISU 370 OPP 286
85th in YPG in FBS
Penalty YDS ISU 548 OPP 496
Conclusion - Placekicking interceptions red zone and sacks killed us. Offense moved the ball in the green zone.

Charlie hasn't played a single snap in the NFL yet so that's way over qualifying him
Lucky man.
Pounding with the wife can be much more enjoyable than the emotion pounding of being a Cyclone fan.
How'd he do in the Red Zone?
Teams happily gave ISU yards between the 20s, because they knew we couldn't close the deal.
We'd play it safe, and be forced into FG tries.
How'd that work out?
We were only up 10 to 7 on a depleted West Virgina team entering the 4th quarter.
That's it. That's the one win.
K-State 2004 is close. 4-7 overall. 2-6 Conference. Awful conference teams that year. The next year was about as bad. Snyder resigned. Rehired after the Ron Prince experience. Had a helluva run again when rehired in 2009.
He just came off IR a couple weeks ago. He's in a bad spot also in Baltimore, you're playing behind a top 2 TE in the league with a really good backup in Likely.
First thing would be changes on the offensive line. Coaches and players. Then, a new quarterback. Dekkers isn't it.
Was talking about Brad Banks in '02 with Dwight Clark. Brad Banks had a very nice season that year but he also had a very simple job with the talent around him.
Another fact:
Campbell’s Iowa State win percentage just dropped below Earle Bruce after yesterday’s dazzling performance.
It looks like the 2020 season performance talking point is going to require a lot of exercising.

Who do you suggest we play over him then? That Becht or whatever sure isn't it. His size looks more suited to the UNI level.
We only missed 10 fieldgoals?!?!?! felt like 20. Can we count the field goals that we didn't kick because we knew we were going to miss them anyway so we ran a telegraphed a shotgun snap handoff right for no gain instead? Is that a stat?
