Total media creation fixation. For whatever reason (hmmm I wonder why that is?) the media thinks ISU has to pass to the TE's in order to be successful but we don't run a pro style attack that utilizes a TE coming off the line in a down position breaking out in to patterns.

I think they were very good today, except the drops. 300 yds, 4 tds and at least 4 drawn PIs. The drops were very costly, but they did a great job getting open and giving Park a target. Iowa is supposed to be a great D and they tore them up (except the drops)
I mean i get what your point is, but judging a position group by the exact ability that they are given a scholarship to a school for free for seems pretty fair to me.
I guess I'm simply to a point where it would be nice to see some of the hype we see year in and year out in the offseason be justified consistently. Yes, the WRs made some big time plays today, which was fantastic, but you still have to make the routine catch routinely, which they failed to do at key moments today. No doubt the talent is there, but it's gotta result in production on the field.
This..or 1 play too early at that time of the game. Was 100% certain that they were going to run that "option" (Park is going to pitch it) play that seemed like at least 5 yard money every time and then go with a pass play, put Iowa defense on their heels at 2nd down and 5 to make them determine if their stopping pass or run.
How many drops did they have last week against UNI? How many drops has Lazard had in his career?
Saying that, our WR's are studs, no question. If they would just catch the damn ball a few more times, they would be even better.
Some of you need to watch other teams. Sometimes guys just drop the ball. We don't do it more than any other team, you just care more when ISU drops it so you remember it.
Best hitter of all time failed 65% of the time.
The best Vikings kicker ever missed the most important kick of his career.
The best basketball player of all time missed 26 potential game-winning shots.
That's what losers say.
Drops will happen. Part of the game. All i know is Park is our best qb since Seneca. Monty is our best back since Ennis or maybe the Davis bros. Lazard despite being covered well today still managed 2 tds. Butler is a stud. Our defensive line is getting better talent that much is obvious.
Nobody should be criticizing Butler, dude is Mr. 3rd and 4th down. Very reliable. That was probably his very first drop this year, nobody gets them all. Iowa was able to get there stud Wadely the ball on that crossing route and we weren't able to get the ball to our stud Montgomery on that last drive. That was the difference. Our receivers dropped to many balls, Stanely overthrew too many open receivers, I thought line play was nearly a draw and I didn't really notice Iowa's vaunted linebackers. Quite a bit of progress 14 games in to the Matt Campbell era.
I noticed Montgomery trucking Hesse and Jewell at the goal line for a sixer. Hoks can't feel good about that game Wadley will wear down to a nub by week 6 if they keep giving him that kind of usage and their defense got bombed on by a bottom tier Big 12 team.
If people want to see your entire quote they can click that little arrow. Nothing stopping them. And I doubt it changes their opinion. Just pointing out what losers say. If you have a problem with that stop talking like a loser.
7 drops. Execution is the story of this game. Coaching was good enough to win.
