Was this the worst coached game of the season, no. Is this another example of being out coached that can be added to an incredibly long list, yes.
Thats the point. I, as well as many others, are sick of this ****. Its not getting better.

Totally agree. It's not like we lucked into a position to have a chance to win in first place...
SOME of that must have been coaching right?
I'll give you that- someone should have noticed whether the sticks were being moved.
If it's that bad of a spot you call timeout so the spot can be corrected. Yes you would rather use TOs on defense, but the clock was running so it wouldn't have been that big of a deal.
Second, you've got two plays to make a few inches. The smallest amount of competence makes that play a non-factor.
That sequence was a complete bed wetting.
It's worse than it looks. Their average 3rd down distance was 8.6 yards. We had them in an average of 3rd and 9. They gained an average of 12.5 yards per play on 3rd down alone. Their average per-play was 5.8 on the game, but on 3rd down, they more than doubled that.
Good effort, but once again we failed to make plays that were there to make. If we had a limited sample it wouldn't be incriminating, but after 7 years you know those plays will just not be made at a high enough rate.
We are the only team in the country that would have called a play not knowing it was a first down! The "only" team. We are the only team that does a lot of things to again figure out a way to lose.
This thread is rediculous. We didnt get out coached. We had one bad play call and that was the third and one. We got out talented. Our coaches had a better game plan than osu. The talent just finally caught up with us. We held them better than most of the other teams. I thought we played good and the coaches coached good. We just lost to a better team. Like every other team they have played.
Oops...better check that. The only team in the country that called plays knowing it "wasn't" a first down. Always remember "We are Iowa State"
To be honest, I am really torn on this.
Do we give credit to our coaches for having us in the entire game, against an undefeated No. 8, or do we blame the 2nd half coaching for costing us this game?
I really don't know.
You seem pretty sharp and totally not regurgitating what others have said. What things do you think we should have done differently? What areas of their defense should we have exploited?
The only criticism you can have of the coaching in this game is the 3rd down call.
Yep. If people don't like us using the word "adjustments", how about we talk about in game management? Does that work?
Ok, i'll give that to you. How about some more examples of how we were outcoahed? Some specifics instead of the cop out of failing to make adjustments.
