The Great, the Good, the Bad, the Ugly

[RonBurgundy]

Short synopsis and grades. No comments on refs. Decent.

Great
X - No more to be said
D - I hope we can hold Heacock some more years
OL - I can see a "good" instead of great, but very strong today, pass and run blocking. Nice surprise

Good
Brock - Studly effort, but cannot, cannot fumble on the one. Don't care if Rus hit you. Hold the f'n ball.
Kicking - Not a disaster, lol, saying something
Dekkers - We need better effort, young man. Two horrible picks.
QB running - Not great, but lovely to see it part of our offense again

Bad
Manning - wtf not going under center at the one?
TE - Do we even have a competent TE on the squad anymore? wtf?

Ugly
ST - Wow, getting one punt blocked is insane, two is inexusable
Campbell - Can we show up for an Iowa game once? 3 turnovers, 2 blocked punts. You have a gold bar up your ass to win this one.

Correction on the Dekkers evaluation. One of the two picks was a poor choice and throw. The other was all on the receiver running the wrong route. It was an easy completion if Noel had run the correct route.

Manning deserves some credit for that 99 yard drive against an elite defense. One of the most beautiful drives I’ve ever witnessed.

 

[Trice]

Cyclones held the ball for 38:15 of the game. That is good, bad, and ugly all wrapped into one stat.

I think Dekkers said that pick was on him. Dekkers said he the WR ran the right route he got the play mixed up with another

Not a great game for Dekker, but it was his first away start in one of the most challenging places to play. We have a shot to be 4-0 before October, and there is no sign of Broctober anywhere. Say what you will about the game, but Dekker did something that Purdy never could.

Defense did too, getting takeaways for the first time in 5 years?

Not just the 99 yards, but burning almost an entire quarter doing so

K-state used to have a lot of drives like that when they were successful. Absolutely back-breaking drives when they take almost an entire quarter like that.

Dekkers, please.

I’m not convinced they have an elite defense. They just play against a bunch of ****** QBs/offenses.

That’s a decent chunk of the Big 10. Mediocre teams with the biggest TV contract.

Dekkers said exact opposite on the Noel one.

It was mind bending and maddening when they would do that to us and there seemed to be nothing we could do to stop it. I’m really glad we might have that in our arsenal. (And to do it in THAT situation in THAT stadium was just glorious.)

That’s an optimistic list imo. Another disaster was only eluded because Iowa uncharacteristically played like a CMC squad in this matchup. They were due, but what will it take for this staff to get the team from trying to give this game away?

Great:
X

Good:
Defense. Maybe great, but that’s a bad offense they played
OL. Overcame Manning and the well coached Iowa defense

Everything else needs to be much better

 

[Pope]

I'll tell you what ugly is. It's Brian Ferentz sending his broken QB out to the post game press conference instead of going out there himself to take the heat.

 

[dafarmer]

Do you think Fox has any regrets with their $billion dollar contract with the BIG? After this weekend, they may want some oft he money back.

*Dekkers. There’s an s at the end of his name.

You can always count on some post midnight drunk ranting and ravings from Burgundy.

You think they’re paying them to win?

The only regret is they missed out on future big UT games because ESPN outmaneuvered them.

Hopefully the BYU-Baylor and Ok St-ASU games did well.

We won…..The Great
