THAT'S the big ISU Achilles heel. (and the drop off between the two deep and the rest of the team).

Where did you hear this?

Defense is still waaayyyy behind where it needs to be. Hard to breakdown a specific position that is the weakest, because they are all significantly lacking compared to other defenses in the top 8 of the Big 12.

Not good.... not good at all

If Haughton doesn't make it back... we're in DEEP trouble.

Our O-line is already one of our weakest positions... even with Haughton. Without him... I don't want to even think about it. I really fear for Arnaud's blind side.

But we are ISU... so I'm sure he's probably gone. We don't get good news in Ames.

You forgot last friday already?

I believe that the production of the lines will make or break us this season. If the O and D lines can produce, or at least stay somewhat competitive, we definitely have a shot at a bowl game.

HCPR sounded pretty confident about Haughton returning in the fall.

Parker had 1 sack last season that came in the last game of the year. No offense to Parker, but he is not the answer at DE. How Lyle didn't start over Parker last season is a mystery.

From a few players on the team. Not gonna name any names or anything but Im hoping they are just assuming things and that there information is incorrect.

parker will start

Parker's problem is that he tends to let the OL lock him up which takes him out of the play. I am encouraged to hear about the emphasis that Burnham is putting on use of hands to get a separation and not let the OL velcro our DL. Hopefully this will help not only Parker, but also the rest of our DL.

Haughton is still on the team. No need to worry guys

I think the position that is the most open is WR. We have so many guys coming in the spring that could play. Bellamy, Reynolds, and maybe one of the freshmen. I wouldn't be surprised at anything I see depth chart wise at that position
