It's conference time and AA as a captain and quarterback needs to step up his game. I think he will and hopefully we can start becoming successfully throwing the ball down the field.

Fail.... but i suppose u are right about the bolded part because it is rather hard for a defender to get to a ball thrown five feet into the ground in front of the receiver...
I dont like this post at all and i dotn think it makes much sense at all
Dude, you've made your point. You hate Austen. Let it go. Holy crap. Right now Austen is our best and really only option. Get used to it.
just trying to figure what is goin through everyone's heads.
and the bolded part kinda makes me mad. I dont hate AA, i hope that maybe what you meant to say is that i dont want him on the field. AA is a great guy and no doubt a leader. so no i do not HATE AA. anyone who literally hates a football player is kinda a ******
What is your cure exactly? Who can take snaps right now and be more effective than Austen Arnaud is? I'll give you a hint, the answer is nobody. All you have ever done is rip into Austen and it's complete crap. We don't have a better option. Austen could throw for 400 yards and you'd still think he isn't a Big 12 quarterback.
I think that AA has to get a LOT better if ISU is going to win any more games. We've run out of non-BCS patsies. I was really disappointed that Tiller didn't see some action last night when ISU was up by 3 TDs. I thought that maybe they were keeping AA in to try to get the passing game going a little, but all they did was hand off and run the QB. IMO that was a dumb play, if for nothing else than the need to placate Tiller a little. We don't need him transferring and sitting him during mop up time may not force a transfer, but it can't help.
Total McCarney move to keep your starting QB in up 3 TDs in the 4th quarter.

i think we can be adults here and just agree to disagree, there isnt a better option and ill admit it. this thread was made to get opinions and i gave my mine.
u have your opinion and i have mine but reguardless it comes down to the coaches and i trust what they do.
Re: PASSING GAME
We could probably use more of these threads, I don't think we have enough of them.

Re: PASSING GAME
Sorry, I just logged on and did not see the previous thread -- pretty harsh IMO
The Meyer comparison has some merit to it. Brett came off of a solid soph year and played well in the bowl game but I think AA showed some more promise even though he played on a worse team.
He is on his 3rd O coordinator in 4 years. We are 4 games into this season. But, yeah, he should look like he has run this offense for years, so let's send him packing.
My goodness some people here don't have a frickin clue.

Doing nothing more than echoing some of the better posts in this thread but there are two big factors as to why he is not performing as well this year to start.
One, his timing with his receivers has yet to fully develop. The underneath routes are always a step behind. Whether this be on his throws or on his receivers' lack of separation. Against NDSU it felt a lot like it was on Austen but after watching Army I have a feeling a lot of the issue is receivers not getting the needed separation to really make things click.
Two, our offense is not suited to his strengths. Austen excels at throwing the intermediate 15-20 yard routes behind the linebackers and underneath the safeties. He also is a much better thrower on the run. With the lack of plays from under center in this offense it is harder to run a play fake and roll him out to find someone open.
His touch on the deep ball is very good too but that is a play that can only be run effectively a few times a game. Especially if the only receiver getting any kind of separation is Hamilton.
We need to be patient with this offense. Let it create an identity for itself and build from there. Remember the leaps and bounds our offense made between Year 1 and Year 2 of Chizik. I think we would all argue that Herman is going to be a more creative coordinator than McFarland.

its his THIRD offense in his time here
it will take some time for him to adjust. i think we will be able to tell a lot about our coaches as the season goes on. if they are doing their jobs well i think we will be able to see marked improvements in offensive efficiency as the season goes on.
i think a lot of people on here expected this. my expectation are not that high for a dominant offense this year. but next year, once the system is in place, and we return the bulk of the offense, this SHOULD start to improve.
it is very rare for a new offense to be installed and have immediate stellar results.
