Why can’t Iowa state be best versions of themselves against Iowa in September and the rest of the season rather than the rest of the “big 12”?
Matt Campbell quit on this team.
- Thread starter CloneinWDSM
- Start date
Dekkers can make every throw and Purdy can't. He has an NFL arm.
Today was evidence of that.
Campbell was outcoached. That is all. Hope he has the O ready to go in the future…
Maybe saying he quit on the team is probably harsh. I wish i could have seen or heard his reactions but it seemed to me like at some point he benched Purdy, Hall, and Hutchinson. But didnt bench McDonald, Rose or Kolar right? That seems very targeted. Ive seen starters benched because they were just off. And ive seen them benched to avoid injury. But this felt more like a message being sent. Like “if you’re not gonna take care of the ball, i will find somone that will” type of message. So the benching didnt strike me as quitting necessarily.
But then when i saw the play calls and the lack of urgency in the 4th quarter, i seriously also started to feel like we gave up. We were very much not out of the game, however we played like we were. It was seriously disappointing. Im still trying to wrap my head around it. But this thread is not way off basis. I think coach has some explaining to do.

Agreed- we shouldn’t have to. However, the starters weren’t getting it done and it forced CMC’s hand. He was trying to see if he couldn’t get anything going with anybody- the exact opposite of a coach that has ‘quit’ on his team.
The guy that nearly murdered a referee in the Big 12 Championship game QUIT on this team?? Nah.
Some players needed a break and coach gave them one.
Manning needs to ride the bench.

They are very good. Iowa's 173 total yards will most likely be the low mark for the year. Including Kansas.
Iowa's offense is garbage.
An average offensive and special teams performance wins this game today because of the defense. There are no words for how awful offense and ST played.
If some of you didn’t see that as the coaches raising the white flag with a quarter of football left only down by 17 then I don’t know what game you were all watching.
It was absolutely disgusting.
Ive seen a lot of crappy football through the years at ISU. I have never seen anything like I did today.
If I had an employee that pulled that **** on me they’d be in my office first thing in the morning and getting some time off.

And that said employee would take a promotion to the NFL later this year…
Campbell didn’t quit on the team. Our starters on Offense were getting their butts kicked . It was time to give the reserves a shot. He should have cut the power to Manning’s headset as well and gave Scheelhaase a shot.
It stinks to say but I told a buddy right before kick that Purdy was what I was most nervous about. I just don’t think we can trust him to play at a high level anymore.
One game? He's lost six straight to Iowa. It's basically a joke now. Corso and Kutcher must be smarter than all of us...
It’s was actually pretty funny the whole game day crew making fun of us about it. You just have to chuckle.
I'm lost like most of you. Something seemed odd/off about the decisions in the 4th quarter. We almost certainly will not get the full story here. Injury, messages sent, white flag, etc any combo thereof...
One possibility not brought up so far is that we had some big recruits here. What message did they get from this? Opportunity will be given if the starters aren't playing their best?
