I hope our opening play of 2024 is a 75 yard bomb

Just not in the first three games

 

[cyputz]

Stay off the brakes the first three games - play to overwhelm

Just not in the first three games

All eleven starters back. Plus four interesting transfers. I don’t think that’s going to be an issue.

I don't get it. Go after it from the beginning. Do not play games. Hone, sharpen, yourself from the first snap.

Do not play games. Do the best you can do from snap one. Attack. Get after it. Win or lose. Attack!

It was an issue with Brock and Breece

What part of “eleven starters back, plus four transfers” was hard for you to grasp? Not once did Brock and Breece have that situation.

That aside from the fact that Rocco is pretty equivalent to Brock, while Abu is already compared to Breece—plus the talent surrounding them is better. And deeper.

New OC. Extremely conservative coach. What part of "it might not be explosive" is hard to understand?
We might be. We might not. It's just a wait and see thing regarding Campbell's approach.

What part of we had a loaded offense and we blew it that u don’t understand?

We're getting into a decade of CMC's teams playing to work on things in September but THIS is the year that August matters

I'll believe it when I see it.

I hope we would try deep passes, often, to back defenses off, and to make them think.

Hello, Iowa?

Make them play the whole field.

Its not like we’ve never tried stretching the field vs Iowa before.

Let's see how we respond when a couple of deep passes are intercepted.

Is stretching the field now known as two up the gut runs followed by a 7 yard comeback route on 3rd and 9?

Bold take!

 

[SwirlyBird]

So you are saying we are going balls deep?

Good news here—to me—is that somebody must have confidence that the OL can uphold its end of the bargain!! Now if Clanton, et all cen ensure more OL performances like we saw at the K State game $ none like we saw in the Memphis game, this team might just compete for the title.

The proper punchline to this based on recent history...

Iowa State throws a 75 yard bomb of a touchdown on first play of game, doesn't run a passing play rest of game.

And then classic CF will think 75 yard plays should just be a normal thing like teams don't scout and adjust.
