I have to disagree. I think the QB issues for the UT game were unforseen. I think TCU was that good. You're right about UNI.
For the record I don't think we were a juggernaut last year but I did witness us score a TD (several, actually) on Iowa.
110% Because of Terrible Scheme + Terrible QB's

Do people not realize the same person calling plays last year is the same person calling plays this year?
To be honest, I always figured it was some Campbell and some manning. I realize what Campbell has said but let’s not pretend that he is always 100% honest.
I had hoped it was manning calling the dumb plays and Campbell calling the good ones. Saturday makes me wonder.
Campbell called the plays last year with the help of Manning and Gasser up in the box. Campbell calls the plays this year with the help of Gasser and whoever else is up in the box now with him
Plus people need to realize that this was our first game of the season. We lost to UNI in the first game in 2016, last year we beat them thanks to two defensive TD's but only outgained them by 27 yards offensively. If we were playing about anyone but Oklahoma this week I would predict a win and think we looked significantly better. That SDSU game being cancelled really hurt us IMO
I agree mostly. That cancelation was killer and everyone should have realized it.
Park vs Kempt, Game #2 at home vs on the road in Game #1, Lazard vs Lazardless.
You’re going off a one game sample in which there’s several more impactful differences than having a different collaborator on the offensive playcall.
Excuses are like hawkroach relatives. Everybody has one and they all stink.
IDGAF if it's a one game sample size. This team has to be better than 3 points versus Iowa or not only will we start 1-5, we'll finish 2-10.
Then I expect you to shut up and not complain when you are right.
Not if we're staring at only 1 win that late in the season we won't
In that case my "bold" prediction will be right, genius.
If you've got a counterpoint to my assertion that we start 1-5 let's hear it. Or just troll, you be you.
Let’s bench DM next week. He clearly doesn’t have it anymore. Poor OLine play is just an excuse. And why didn’t Lazard catch more balls? Not having eligibility is just an excuse for the weak.
Personnel changes and prep time aren’t excuses and you apparently do not understand the one game sample implications.
We will be underdogs in 5 of our first 6 games. I believe we beat Akron and then upset one of the TCU/WVU/Okie State games
So we played one lineup all fall supposedly and then switched it up, which would have messed with cohesion. Then we're switching it up for game 3. And for the record JGJ was getting smoked just as much at the C spot.
Things that stick out in my mind about the game:
1. Terrible punting resulting in unearned points.
2. There were two plays where it appeared that there was a first down. One for each side both reversed not in our favor. I believe that led to the Iowa TD.
3. Passes bouncing off the almost chest of our normally reliable receivers.
To me those things were the difference in the game.
