*** Official #17 IOWA STATE vs Texas Game(day) Thread ***

[Cy$]

I blame our offense, giving up almost 50 points by halftime isn't the reason why ISU is losing

 

[mharder]

All I want to know is what's the issue. Coaching? Lack of effort? Hero ball?

The answer is D, all of the above.

 

[NoCreativity]

TCU just held this exact same team to 57 points..... in the entire game!!!! We suck, no other way to spin this.

 

[rochclone]

These team averages 63.7 points in Big 12 play. They put up 49 against us. This thing is going sideways in a hurry unless this squad pulls their head out of their ***.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Uh-oh turning on the coaches now. Took most people 5 years for Rhoads, took about 5 months for Prohm.

 

[Final42b]

I hate to give up on Prohm this early but I don't have a good feeling about this....

He can't be judged until he gets his own guys here

 

[mjhavlo76]

But was Coach McDermott a better coach than...never mind.

 

[tim_redd]

It's hard to even get mad anymore, we are who we are

I'm still a little mad, but I'm getting there.

 

[CoKane]

When oh when will we learn to play defense?

 

[Dandy]

Horrible. This team is just disappointing. When does football start?

Get out.

 

[CRcyclone6]

Getting spanked by a terrible team. 49 pts at half and Texas scored 57 Saturday.

Aren't we still blaming the fans at the Baylor game?:unsure:

 

[Erik4Cy]

We need defenders...BAD. What I wouldn't give for a Kelvin Cato or Chris Babb right about now.

 

[ISU42]

49 in the first half...

We must have got tired early tonight.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

 

[NetflixAndClone]

We won every game we were down at half right?

 

[awd4cy]

Anyone still think 9-9 is an overreaction?

 

[mjhavlo76]

We really miss Naz Long!

 

[ThatllDoCy]

I don't think it lands on Prohm. The culture of a program doesn't change in a year, we've been disinterested in D for years. It may be a really long year.

 

[IcSyU]

At what point are we going to stop blaming the players and start looking at the coach? This league has 7 of its 10 coaches with Final Four experience. He is over matched daily, uninspiring, and unable to make halftime adjustments. His off-season focus was defense which has been TERRIBLE all season.

There isn't a defense that can be effective when only 3 guys want to play it.
