I would have to say WR is right there with QB as weakest position groups. We simply don't have the offensive skill players right now in the passing game to take it to the next level.

Good game State, you played tough for 4 qtrs.

So on 4th down you just throw it into the ground, sounds like a solid plan.

And you missed where I said before jantz threw an int, an obvious tongue in cheek post.

Bring on Richardson if Jantz is not the answer. Find someone who can make simple passes and not have a million knocked down at the line of scrimmage.

Very disappointed that we abandoned the run for the first 4 and out drive. I think that sequence really got in JB's head and killed his confidence even before the very last 4 and out. He had no chance.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WE LOST TO THE #6 TEAM IN THE COUNTRY AND HAD 2 CHANCES TO DRIVE DOWN THE FIELD AND WIN.

DO ANY OF YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE USED TO GET BEAT 40+ to 3 EVERY WEEK???

STOP BEING SUCH A BUNCH OF LOSERS AND BE HAPPY THAT THE PROGRAM IS GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!!!

OUR GUYS PLAYED A TOUGH GAME AND LOST. IT HAPPENS!

Strong effort today. Win or lose, ISU has made it clear they aren't a team to take lightly, by anyone. I can easily see another 4 possible wins on the schedule (Baylor, OK ST, Kansas, and Texas). For WVU, that's a long ways off, and a lot can happen between now and then. But seriously, 8-4 is a possibility, IMO.

The game went as expected- until JB did not connect with Sh. J on 2nd to last series. We complete that, and...damn.

Losing to Kansas St has to stop.

Great job! Good effort! :jimlad:

Honestly, it was a good effort by the team, on the whole.

Yeah, but mostly at QB... 16-37 cannot be acceptable for QB production... JB doesn't throw as many picks, cuz he's too busy spiking every pass into the ground 3 yards in front of him...

I agree, that was a killer. But that is how close we were.

I think Shontrelle is still running if on the screen pass.

Football is a team sport. I get that. The defense did well enough today, though. If we can't score 28 points in a ball game in the Big 12, then **** it.

Sorry, but that's not us. Iowa State is no longer a "we did our best" kind of team. We need to be the ones bagging the prom queen. I could not disagree with your post more.

A couple of those were plays where Bykowski just got beat by the DE. He didn't make the block he needed to make to either engage the end of get him on the ground.
