ISU @ Colorado Postgame
- Thread starter superdorf
- Start date
I am serious...and I hope that you are ultimately correct. I just don't see it yet.
Funny, Walden called me and said the option NEVER wins games...Although Switzer and Osborne were in the background laughing at him for some reason.
Wouldn't it be just like ISU-luck that AA gets hurt and we have to pull the Redshirt off Tiller for the last two games of the season??:chatterbox:
They wont, not with two games left. There has to be SOMEONE on the team capable of taking the snaps for two games. :chatterbox:
I have been hoping that for 15 years. I don't think it is in their DNA as ex-defensive coordinators.
Lets play hypotheticals here...
With the spread offenses that the Big12 is lighting up the scoreboards with, can a Tampa Cover-2 defense with GREAT players succeed ?
IMHO, the defense and coaching lost this game. First of all get the basics right...TACKLE! On at least 3 plays, 2 guys were covering a Colorado receiver while another was running wide open. Can we get lucky just ONCE and stop someone on 4th down ?
There were some positives today
1) We ran a running back screen and it WORKED
2) Colorado's field goal kicking is worse than even Iowa State's since Tony Yelk graduated. That should have been good for a few laughs...
3) A pretty good display by A-Rob, Scales, and AA. AA showed some real stones when he stayed in the game after taking that shot to the ribs on a nonplay

I'll be back cheering next week. But right now I'm hurting.
Time to take a shower, go out, and forget about the game.
Damn

Absolutely. The decision not to pressure Hawkins on 2 consecutives drives was terrible. I thought the team played as well as it could given the experience and talent we have have. The coaches let them down. Today our kids deserved a better coaching effort than what they got. Terrible, just terrible.
Agree pretty much all around.
I'm not upset with our O 1/10 as much as I am about our D.
Has anyone mentioned the classic "fade" pass call after our timeout from the five, or by the way did you see Austin pleading for the coach to give him a play....any play.
There are a lot of drawbacks when you hire a def coordinator as a first time head coach. Takes time to assemble a staff and get on the same page and it takes longer for him to learn how to do game day coaching. If GC works out great but if not we should try hiring a head coach rather than another coordinator.
There was no DECISION, we blitzed nearly every play... Not sure what you were watching...
