Do people really believe this?

This was my first spring game. I think we were pretty well coached considering we have new schemes and young players. Tiller looked good but he telegraphed his passes and dropped a couple snaps. The DB coverage was better. Sedrick dropped 2 easy passes but also caught about 3 tough passes. I didn't see much from the OL run blocking, DL pass rush, and second string LBs. I'm very impressed with the DC so far. The spread offense seemed rudimentary - and still needs a lot of development.

We need more time to adjust to the new systems - and we are still short in talent in many positions. So, if we somehow get 6 wins this year, it would be a huge accomplishment.

The snaps were terrible yesterday. High and then low. That's not Tillers fault.

Arnaud did have some good passed that bounced off receivers chests.

They said ahead of the game, it was going to be a pretty vanilla offense for the spring game and it looked that way.

And this happened alot last year, too. There were two first downs there were flat out dropped on that last series v. KU. Happened all year...

Sedrick had a case of the Houston Jones'.

I agree Tiller has good skills, but the starting job is still AA's. The biggest thing that concerns me after seeing the game is the depth on defense. When Bo was in with the first team, against the 1st team defense he had troubles, but the next series he was in with the 2nd team and ran off a long run. That tells me the 1st team defense is much better than the 2nd team. This is another thing that needs to be taken into account when looking at Tiller. He will be very good, we just need to be sure he doesn't get turned off by sitting and waiting for his time.

We did this a few times last year during the season as well with ARob taking the snap. Had about the same result.

That is an improvement over last year, when there wasnt much difference from the 1st team to the 3rd team and they all were bad.You have to start somewhere.

Is Tiller going to see the field enough to keep him happy?

He is a freshman. How many freshman QBs see the field? He already used his redshirt so unless he goes DII he is a Cyclone for 4 more years. He can learn the ropes and be ready to take over his JR year.

He's just an injury away from being the starter...

And here I thought it was just a myth that you guys really felt that way. There's a reason ISU can't get out of the cellar, and crappy attitudes like yours is one of them. You should want to win EVERY game like it were Iowa or Nebraska.

If you would really be happy with 2 wins, you're not a real fan.

Just like you have the nutjobs that believe Iowa is in the NC hunt every year, we've got guys like this.

Don't lump us all in together

I guess facilities, budgets, coaching, and talent levels have nothing to do with winning and losing. It's all about our attitudes! Man, what a revelation! C'mon guys, let's all close our eyes and tap our heels together while reciting, "there's no place like the Fiesta Bowl, there's no place like the Fiesta Bowl, there's....." No doubt we have the power to WILL this team to 10 wins this year!
