I don't think we would be losing if Barnett wouldn't mistake his receivers hands for their feet.
I can count at least 8 throws that have been awful in the first half. That's too many.
Bring in Mangino next year -- an article in the newspaper down here mentioned he was ready to get back into coaching now.
It gets funny when our best chance at a running play is a broken play situation when Barnett can pick up few yards.
It's not so much that our run game is terrible (it isn't good either) as much as it is opposing defenses daring our quarterbacks to beat them through the air. Jared & Steele don't scare anyone when they drop back.
You know what's bad? Missing wide open receivers at their feet. Having an OL who can't block a high school team. This offense is a problem, and the QB is the first position people look. Doesn't make a difference that Barnett is on pace to throw 300 yards. He's missing too many throws and reads. It's understandable that people want Barnett out. Defense is a different story entirely.
The whole offense is bad. Twice in the first half, receivers ran routes next to each other. Offensive line can't sustain blocks, the QB makes poor reads and poorer throws. To make this worse, the O coordinator calls a very poor game. There is no motion to help the QB make reads and I'm going to scream if I see another WR screen for a one yard gain.
Putting Sam in on the road down 7 would be insane. If he is going to play this year it will be at home.
NO, I KNOW BETTER THAN THE COACHES WHO WORK WITH THIS TEAM EVERYDAY OF THE WEEK!!
I would like to has some of that Kool-Aid your drinking! That first half by barnett is embarrising. I have never wanted Barnett in at QB because he throws crap and is consistant at doing it.
um he has been bad... simply because if he put any mustard on the ball we have 2 more 1st downs, and are scoring more... the sideline routes take 10 seconds to get there in the air, and we cannot run the ball which makes JB the better QB in our offense. Without the ability to run, his Play Action deep touch passes do not happen. Not all JB, but still not good. OUr entire offense is terrible.
At the very least we need to do bubble screens and set up blockers to gain some yards. We seem to like horizontal passes to receivers who are covered and don't move much to get uncovered. That's not on the players, that's on the OC.
yes the same guys that put in steele two years in a row to only bench him, then put steele in in the bowl game to watch him suck royally.. coaches we have are awesome, no doubt, but not always right.
Exactly. I'm actually sitting here wondering if being an ISU fan was funner back when we were bad and just accepted it and enjoyed the game. I know it's just a few on here, but sad to watch.
It's not all Barnetts fault. Nor was it all Steeles fault. The offense is bad all around. John Elway could be back there and this team wouldnt move the ball. Problem is, Barentt is just sooooooo limited, it really makes it hard.
Someone said Barnett is going to throw for 300 yards...yeah and thats not enough, need to score points, keep the offense on the field by not making horrible throws, not turn it over, and complete more than 40% of the passes, and you have to be able to run the ball.
scoring 21 points a game will win ZERO games going forward.
