I'd just like to comment on how for the last 2 years everyone (the negative asshats) overly criticizes Manning. Then later in the year when ISU has record setting offensive numbers, they are all quiet.

It just gets a little old. Yes Manning has some misgivings, but why not just hold it in for a few games.

Also, let's say we don't do as good as we want this year, I'm still going to enjoy!
T-Noah……T for Tom? Manning? Should You be posting when we’re not playing well?

Horrific clock Mgmt that last drive, some really questionable play calling….again

Yep. The first two drives of the game, we give Breece the ball once and pass all the rest of the plays..... when time isn't even a factor.

But with time running out in the half.... we then decide to run Breece and not pass.... when time is a critical factor. It was like we were running the clock down on purpose to just set up the FG try.

CMC is actually more conservative than KF/BF.... by a long ways IMO. We only throw the ball about 6-10 yds ..... never deep.

I like to bring perspective also.
OU should have been beat today.
Iowa is killing indiana, but indiana has more yards has a 25 to 14 min possession advantage. They just have penalties and turnovers.

A top 10 team would go down and score right away, get a 3 and out and score again. Then put it away... we shall see soon :)

Research says that the passing game, especially the deep passing game, opens up the running game and not vice versa. Need to take a shot early and back them off the line and things should open up for Breece to carve em up.

If you look at it in the perspective of the coach you want to put the team in a position to score that last possession without giving UNI a chance with the ball. In that respect it was successful. It would have been great to get a TD but given all the things that could have happened this was the second best.

Indiana reminds me a bit of ISU in 2002. All they have is that QB......and he isn't Seneca.
