Don't undersell the big play, followed by a fast tempo no huddle play that has the defense scrambling to get into position... which is always a plain vanilla handoff up the middle.

Fiesta Bowl when part of the playoff =/= Fiesta Bowl when it isn't a playoff game.
No doubt about it.
It seems the difference in opinion here is whether you value the height of one year or consistency over a period of time. ISU has been better than TCU more often than not during CMC's tenure, TCU has had the best team of those same years.
No, it's not THE problem, but it's A problem. If you're going to do it, you can't be so predictable about it. You can't bring the fullback in and run behind him 90% of the time or run in general 95% of the time. It just seems like if Klotz is coming in, we are almost surely running the ball and there's a really good chance if you run to where he's going, you will muck things up and end up with a TFL. Klotz is good at what he does, but he's not nearly as versatile as Soehner was. That's one of my biggest complaints about this staff...when they had Kolar/Soehner/Allen, they had an identity. It wasn't flashy, but it worked. They should have been trying to find a Soehner clone the second they figured that out. Instead, we seem to keep trying to find the next Kolar. That's great, but Soehner was the one that unlocked the offense.
Using Klotz in the passing game on some simple routes might help open things up a bit more.
Wait - is someone trying to argue that we're a better program than one that made the national championship game less than 2 years ago?
I think we're in a better spot than TCU at this moment, and we certainly kicked their ass last year, but come on. They just played for a damn natty.

The point was that we are not that much different than TCU. With the talent returning this year, if we catch some breaks there is no reason we can’t have a special season. During TCU’s season two years ago, they won many close games and made many clutch plays at the end of games. We need a similar effort and some luck. I’m not thinking National Championship, but more like Conference Championship. This is not a prediction. It is more like “why not us”?
For this season, yes it should be. But if you want to have a lower level... I expect to succeed. Failure happens but I don't go into a game, race or job expecting to fail.
Unfortunately a fan's expectations have nothing to do with what actually happens with the people playin the game.
I'm hopeful and optimistic this is the year the O-line plays consistently well. We hear how improved they are every off season, so one would think just by the law of averages one of these years it has to happen.
