Allowing a TD in OT, especially 2 plays in
That's 10 without even thinking that hard.
ISU had a successful fake FG against UNI for a 1st down that set up a TD. Plus, a success fake Punt for a 1st down against TT that IIRC led to a score. Also, a successful Onside Kick against UT, that helped with time of possession. Last, was Saturday's fake FG.
Last year, ISU had a missed Onside against UI and a successful fake Punt against NU. Were there any others last season?

If it does, we hired the wrong coach. Guys that constantly change their philosophy and gameplan based on one-off plays are almost always guys with losing records and getting canned.
One of those interceptions was deep in our territory for a TD. That was a killer. But, in the past the game would have been over there. This team fought back and got to OT. That never would have happened two years ago.
To you, me or the general public, CPR might seem a little defensive. But, if you look at it from Kuehl's point of view, Rhoads is standing up for his players no matter what! As a player, I'd guess Kuehl really appreciates his coach for that kind of statment, which makes the players only want to work that much harder to be successful next time!
I think from a player motivational factor, the response is dead on!
Yep I agree, and THAT'S the reason why these players would take a bullet for the guy. He's got their back.
I love the way the cyclones have picked up their play week to week.
And I love that teams have to spend any amount of time hesitating thinking about whether we fake something or not.

I love the way CPR answered the question, pointing out that Kuehl had already done it before successfully when they needed him - that it's part of football and no reason for him to be down about it... that's what good coaches do. You can't help but feel for the kid. He will likely carry this with him the rest of his life; he will always be known as the one that threw "that pass" in the Nebraska game. Fact remains that unfortunately everyone focuses on the last play of the game as the one that won or lost it. We all know there were several missed opportunities/mistakes that cost us that game. Keep your head up, Dan Kuehl... you alone didn't lose that game for us and we will need you down the stretch! Still a lot to play for! I'm so jacked up for Saturday I can hardly sit still!
Really really rough day for that kid (Dan Kuehl). Saturday was the 1 year anniversary of a terribly tragic event in his family. I am sure it weighed heavily on him and would have been really cool for him to be the hero at the end but it doesn't always work out the way it probably should. Glad he has this staff their to pick him up.
Really? I think he sounds like the kind of guy that players love to play for...... someone who will go to battle for his gyus when they are attacked by fans, media, etc...
Paul Rhoads +100,000,000...He's not over defensive, he is spot on and our players are going to lay it on the line for him....I love it
