They're up by more than five touchdowns and still throwing deep. They are running it up.
this is ridiculous. there is no single excuse for us playing this badly. everyone keeps saying how "we're a young team, that's all." I say boloney! (I know, it's really spelled bologna, but why should I spell correctly if we can't play correctly, anyway...) We could be playing all freshman, but for how wide open OSU's recievers have been all game, that's just bad coaching. not necessarily our play calling, but just how our players grasp the fundamentals. Obviously they aren't grasping hardly anything, so the coaches are either teaching them incorrectly (highly unlikely)
Our guys look really tired..... Based on the score, perhaps Chiz should give some of the other guys a shot at it.. I am not sure who else is out there though...
One thing is called personnel. We don't have good enough personnel to go man-to-man, and have to try and stop the bleeding with a zone, but our personnel aren't fast enough to run an effective zone.
If ISU can't stop it than they deserve it. It would be different if OSU was doing this to Drake but ISU is a Big 12 team, even though we may not be better than Drake.
I'm not sure anyone but the biggest of kool-aid drinkers expected us to compete today. It was interesting to see at the beginning of the season how many people thought this would be a win today.
OSU's second and third stringers would likely start at ISU. This doesn't bode well for the immediate future... unless Gene is redshirting some speedsters or has them coming in next year.
....or we don't have a pass rush, and at least one safety and a linebacker is incapable of covering.
