Play calling and personnel problems

[isucy86]

IMO throwing every down isn't the solution. Somehow we need running yards from our backs/receivers.

We need to stretch the field vertically. If anything to keep defenses from stacking line of scrimmage.

On defense we need to get more consistent pass rush. Sometimes I wonder if in passing situations we shouldn't mix things up and play 4 d-lineman at times.

Honestly I just hope we make a bowl game.... let’s just say I’m torn. We have played badly but we are two defensive stands away from being a top 15 team. At the same time we are one fumble recovery from being 1-3. It is clearly an improvement that we have a chance to win every game. Campbell haters probably haven’t been fans for such a long time...

 

[SDClone]

Going to be hard to win games with no running game.

 

[ISUCY23]

Why Croney played so much, I’ll never know.

The thing is we have recruited two great running backs, but they’re both freshman. I’m confident in guys like Jirehl next year but he’s too young to be relied upon this year.

precisely we have a gap in rb recruiting because montgomery went to the nfl and kene is hurt
unfortunate
were lang and croney rhoads recruits?

 

[CyCrazy]

I agree, which is why I said the sky is not falling. I’m just severely disappointed with a 2-2 start.

Fair enough, it could/should be at least 3-1

 

[ISUCY23]

Should be 4-0

i almost excpected we go all in on the freshman today
is their pass blocking not ready?

 

[Cat Stevens]

Thats weird because thats what alot of people were predicting before the season started...

yeah, but that’s different because it’s all about going full clone dude for these guys.

I'd be happy with the Chizik Bowl right now.... or is it the Cheez It Bowl.... I can't remember?

Croney was Rhoads and Lang was Campbell.

Currently Middle of the pack B12 team. Not end of the world just disappointing. Maybe next year.

I predicted 8-4 before the season, but after watching us so far, I'll take 7-5 no question.

 

[Doc]

The sky is not falling, but between this game and the Iowa game I’ve noticed our personnel is a bunch of pussies

One of the funniest starts to a post I’ve ever seen.

Winning 5-6 Big 12 games is gonna be tough with this team

 

[CloneGuy8]

We're probably looking at 3 more losses for sure this season against OU, Texas, and OSU. So our ceiling right now just might be 7-5 at best.

I hope I'm wrong... but you'd all be best to be prepared for that right now.

I've watched too many ****** ISU teams to be mad about 7-5

That only works if we can beat KState on the road.....The biggest problem on Offense is a lack of a running game which makes our Offense one dimensional...And of course our Defense is not nearly as good as it has been the last 2 years..."The defense is not turning our opponents over like they used to"....Quoting Mr Jack Whitver....

 

[dafarmer]

Our inexperience in the secondary showed up today. With Baylor's tall receivers, we needed to slow them down off the line.

 

[CycloneVet]

Should be 4-0

Replace Should with Could

 

[CyBobby]

If you bought into the hype of challenging for the Big 12 title thats on you. Or your under 30

Thanks CyCrazy ...You just said it all....
