Am I the only person that would rather we just played 4 or 5 receivers a lot instead of platooning 10-12 of them? If someone gets tired obviously sub them out, but obviously our offense has not been effective at all with this strategy so far.

It seems like this strategy makes it difficult for a #1 receiver to emerge and makes the WRs wildly inconsistent.

Agree. Same with running backs. Other than situational stuff (it's always gonna be Woody on 3rd and short or goal line) I wish they would keep guys in the game long enough to get into a groove.

10-12? We've only played 7 WR's

Yeah you are right. It is really closer to just two platoons for 3 WR sets. I would still rather keep a main unit than do the platoon thing.

[Aclone]

That's ridiculous. Each point you made. Time adjusting to football, even though he's already seen the field....because he had a couple court dates? Getting screwed for a simple prank? Really? My definition of a simple prank and yours are a little different.

No, because of living in a halfway house while going to school--and being saddled with a pair of felony convictions at age 22. For what was a prank. A stupid one, but a prank nonetheless.

Your idea of a prank and my idea of a prank differ greatly. I don't know that I've ever taken part in a prank where felony charges were a possibility if caught.

At age 22 if you are stupid enough to pull a "prank" that involves robbing someone with any kind of gun I'm not going to feel to sorry for you getting a felony. I hope he is able to keep his life turned around long term, not just while he is playing for us, but a "prank" that was not.

I call BS. The only "robbing" someone was in the way the charges were filed. Perhaps you just paid attention to those, and not to what actually happened. Wouldn't surprise me that a lot of people did that, there is a definite tendency among the American public not to bother to look beyond the surface.

Besides, whether you Agree or not, my point is that it's a distraction, much more important and harder to focus on school, especially compared to football. And I'd say that easily explains his drop in on-field production.

[Land Grant]

To go in another direction, my brother feels like Gary bulked up too much and lost some of his shiftiness. Thus his lack of production might be explained apart from law enforcement.

Our O is bad and we really, really miss Darius Reynolds and Darius Darks with the obvious missing K.O. and Hicks on the line. Our QB's could still survive games being inaccurate with those players around them. I love Horne, Lenz, West and they do other things really well but we just can't throw the same type of balls that would be caught by guys last year who had bigger/better catching ranges/radius.

ISU WR stats (All 7 ISU WR)

92 catches for 1119 yards


Baylor WR stats (top 3 WR only)
106 catches for 1944 yards

[Cyclone1985]

It is hard for our WRs to put up big numbers when the QB only completes 15 passes a game. We play roughly 8 WRs and 3 Runningbacks...... you can see why having 3 receptions is considered having a "big game."

I am curious how much better were we last season? I dont remember us being world beaters.

Are we going to start down this road again? The fact of the matter is that many pranks could result in felony charges, but the county attorney usually doesn't do it. For example, knew a kid that burned down an abandoned house. By all rights it should have been a felony, but guess what, got some community service hours and probation.

I've know people to break in to schools, "borrow cars" and steal very expensive things, etc. etc. hardly any consequence.

Like I said, do we really want to go down this road?

Would probably explain the losing record.

[jburke]

To be honest with Bundrege getting the catches and making the plays he did last week, I would not be surprised if his touches lowered even more. I know there have been times he has been thrown to and just did not make a play....
