And I am pretty much past wanting to listen to Campbell's pressers anymore. I wonder what the coach speak will be this time?
He has to let go of the offense. Will he? I don't think so.

First photo they are playing 9 yards off bitter. Second photo is when play is developed. As you see he still has plenty of space for quick throw or quick slant. Play action to quick slant. Or quick throw after snap. The play was in traffic in center of field for deflection. There were so many blown options all day like this.

Losing 20-13 to the Hawkeyes was not embarrassing. As I said previously, you want to win every game of course, but that is a reasonable outcome. And I’m sure Campbell will have things he wished he’d done different…maybe he even does struggle to our coach Ferentz, but that doesn’t make him a bad coach.
You also can’t ignore that this was Rocco’s second start…and there were multiple drops. There will be a lot of good tape from this game to use for growth going into next weekend and then the Big 12 slate.
True, but it plays a big part in the success or failure of the PROGRAM in a state like Iowa with two D1 teams imo.
A college football player freshman or not. The coaches should be calling for the slant or quick throw when defense is 9 yards off. Not on the quarterback that’s on the coaches not adjusting to what the defense gives them.
The success or failure of the PROGRAM is how the team fares over the course of the entire year, year in and year out. By taking the extreme to your scenario, Iowa State could go 1-11 each year, but the lone win is vs Iowa. Under your viewpoint, Iowa State would be considered to be the more successful program in the state
We won this game fairly often under Mac. Have lost it almost every year under Campbell. We had growth under Mac, but the program is without question better now.
Keep losing for a few more years and watch what happens.
Going to need to see credentials before trusting your analysis over CMC and staff.
I should have known better. I keep thinking that the light will soon go on. Nope, run up the middle for a loss to end the game. Nice
Again…have lost it consistently. Our recruiting classes haven’t been better. People are just bent out of shape because they can’t puff their chest at all those they see wearing black and yellow. A week from now this game is the same as if we had lost to UNI and beat Iowa. It just really doesn’t matter as much as some fans make it out to.
Iowa State has lost 7 of the last 8 meetings vs Iowa. KF lost his first 4 vs Iowa State, including 2002 where Iowa State gave them their lone regular season loss.
Yep, I bet Iowa fans thought the 2002 season was a complete failure for the program. A team can still be successful even when losing a rivalry game.
Ya don’t say? Only problem is, we look exactly the same as last years team that finished 4-8. Can move the ball at times, but totally inept in the red zone and the same mental mistakes, turnovers, and special teams mistakes. Why should I believe it’s going to magically get better?
Because this year has a freshman QB, freshman RB, freshman TE. Those players will get better as the season progresses.
I get it. Iowa State lost to Iowa again. Some fans are upset it happened again. But when you sit back and look back at the game, we were VERY young at the skilled positions facing a top 5 ranked defense. Did they make mistakes? Of course. I expected them to make a few mistakes. Dropped passes and a poor throw directly led to the loss today. Those things can be cleaned up easily.
Am I ready to throw in the towel yet? No. The team fought to the end. I would feel differently if the team was completely lifeless. But this squad has fight in them. I will support the team so long as they give 100% each play.
