TCU postgame thread

[DarkStar]

Some costly injuries for both teams tonight. Hate to see that.

You mean we had a jump ball WR, which still resulted in just 14.

Noland needs to play better, and he has, but I’m more concerned that we’re trying to put square pegs in round holes.

So... The same offense as last year then?

 

[SoapyCy]

Well, it could if the threat to pass disappears. Our run blocking is becoming serviceable, but I’m not sure if it would be if opposing teams didn’t really have to respect the pass.

How many passing yards did we have tonight?

How many passing yards did we have tonight?

My point stands. I think we ran better in part because they took away the pass.

Zeb is not a Big 12 QB. Play the freshman or Kempt. That last 3rd down play was so bad it’s scholarship pulling worthy

 

[ca4cy]

Is this what being a Hawkeye basketball fan feels like?

No. We have fans.

Why not run some reverses or shovel passes or options or trick plays? Anything? Absolutely no creativity in the play calling

 

[CTTB78]

Although it was incomplete to Butler, I was happy to see we threw the ball down field at least once.

I actually thought the OL was better today. TCU has a really good dL. Zeb needs to play better. He had terrible throws and didn’t react to most blitzes thrown his way. I’ve defended Zeb before today btw.

Without a OL that can consistently run block and pass protect we are going to have to be the best checkers players we can because we won't be playing chess until that OL is better.

What game you watching? They were playing football

Vomitting is a side effect of concussions. Doubt we see JGJ for at least 2 weeks.

It’s also a side effect of getting hit in the stones.
He was back out there the next play.

 

[HouClone]

Another moral victory. Whoopee.

Play-calling and games-plans impact the OL execution though. We are taking an OL that is struggling to stay afloat and putting lead vests on them.

As bad as these post game threads are....they are less damaging for Cyclone Football than Facebook is for America.

Hit 'em with the Annexation of Puerto Rico!

Seriously? I hope you're drunk because you can't be stupid enough to be calling for a kid's scholarship who up until tonight had great QB stats.

Since you're so brilliant, where did you want him to throw the ball on that last series? He had nobody running deep routes. He doesn't call the plays buddy.

I place the blame on the guy on the sidelines calling the plays that makes multiple millions of bucks a year over a college kid trying to get an education and might even have tests this week he's worried about..... who knows?

Park losing it was last season hotrod

He was a junior last year.

I hope he didn't have a concussion because he was in about 2 plays later. That wouldn't look too good for our medical staff.

Yeah, but without the jump ball WR. Butler is tall, but he doesn’t fight and body for balls.

We miss Lazard more than we miss Manning.
