Thinking the same thing. Might want to double the best receiver in the Big 12.

do you want to see us get raped in the run game even worse? if we double bryant then they just run the ball with less defenders up front. you have to pick your poison

 

[Aclone]

and we run the same ******* run play EVERY ******* TIME!!!!!!

You did notice the backs are averaging 4.8 ypc at the moment? :skeptical:

Unless LJ can get us to the OSU 30 on the return, we may be punting rather quickly!

 

[huntt26]

lets not get pounded.. gotta get points here

 

[cycloneman003]

Thought I stumbled into the Oscars with all those stars.

its all the anger of this season boiling over.

i just cant stand some of the stuff we do, and it certainly doesnt help that there is so many youngsters

OSU's defense hasn't been the problem. :skeptical:

 

[cyclonez7]

Over/Under 0.5 punts for OSU?

That is true but they could honestly score on every deep ball to Bryant if they wanted to at this point. There isn't a corner in the nation that can cover him one on one and it isn't like Hunley is helping much in the running game.

Welp guys.. See ya later!!

Try to actually enjoy a Saturday of watching ISU football.. Dont take it too seriously.

Beat it. We won't miss you, or your Hawkeye updates.

I like the fact that Chizik is taking some chances. Why not play 4 down football all day long? Our D hasn't been able to stop anyone. Having said that the turnovers might hurt that argument!

 

[mj4cy]

Well I gotta pick the wife up. I actually dont' mind at all having to stop watching this game.

yeah, but i also noticed that the last 3 times we ran it it got stuffed. we can run the ball, we just dont need to use the same play everytime.

either that or AA will grow a pair and pull it back for robinson and take it outside the DE's who are crashing hard

 

[CyinCo]

So our best defensive play is the take-away. If we can't get a take-away, the other team WILL score. I don't think we even have put them in a 3rd down yet this game. Pourous. Pourous D.

 

[CRLCy]

Some of you guys sound like whiners, not ISU fans!!
Not sure what you expect here. 9th rated team in the nation.
It would be A HUGE upset if we won today...
Gotta watch and listen for positive points, not focus EVERYTHING that is wrong with a young team that WILL be better.

we actually have had them in multiple 3rd downs. we just dont stop them

 

[rhlentz]

they've had at least three 3rd downs they just convert them all

212 yards in 26 plays for OSU, 7.6 yard average. Look at it this way, we're at least making them use 2 downs to pick up the 1st every time.

 

[jaretac]

yess. Colorado down 2 touchdowns to A&M.

 

[IcSyU]

6 catches, 81 yards, 2 TDs...MIGHT wanna guard that guy

and the announcer just said "Ar-node" :biglaugh:

We have been handed opportunities to stay with them but haven't executed. Pretty sure whining should be tolerated.
