West Virginia beats Baylor. And scores 43 points. Maybe Manning needs to watch how other teams move the ball and score TDS.
WTF
- Thread starter dafarmer
- Start date
That’s because other teams are good and are able to score. We are not.
Maybe the refs forgot to call 3 consecutive 15-yard penalties against WV.
We never got a fair shot against Baylor.
That was one exciting game but likely lost when Baylor's QB, Shapen, was knocked out by WVU targeting. Still both defenses were pretty leaky by ISU standards.
two points:
WVU ran all over Baylor. 163 yards rushing by the backup rb on 22 carries. WVU had over 200 yards rushing. WVU's oline beat Baylor's dline in a strength on strength matchup.
2. Baylor's qb shouldnt slide at last second. I regret his injury, but the play to me isnt even a penalty. I played de in college and if im going full speed im not pulling up at last second bc qb slides.
If he doesnt want to take a lick he needs to slide early enough that i can safely stop without having to dive over him. Otherwise he gets a lick-- and it shouldnt be a penalty.

I wasn’t able to watch much, but I was watching towards the end when the WV back broke off the long run to the 10. They showed the replay from the end zone angle - all those linemen just zone blocking to the right, a big hole opens between two of them, the back zips through, gets by the lone linebacker about 7 yards downfield …
Is it really that hard to never be able to do that? Is it just too hard to scheme that kind of play, and instead run over the guard into a stacked front followed by 3-yard drag patterns?

I think your bias is showing. It was definitely a penalty, and not even close. If he dove over the top of him there wouldn’t have been flag. I’ve seen plenty of more questionable calls this year.
I know our season is disappointing. I would say Baylor's is worse at this point.
they were supposed to contend for a conf championship and will have to claw to 6 wins. Just shows most programs have to go through rebuilding phases. We are not immune to that.
The game against WVU could be pretty huge, may be the difference in a bowl for us or not.
I think most would be comfortable with a rebuild if we weren't still seeing the same errors being repeated year in, year out.
Not to mention the continuing unforced errors during games where we don't seem to handle urgency well and become mired in indecision.
I forgot to say our special teams is hot garbage as well.
Defense is awesome though. 1 out 3 ain't bad.
Seems pretty clear that this is targeting.
A bowl! You're talking about a bowl game? You kidding me? I just hope we can win a game.
Clearly the worst offense in B12 is ISU. Probably ST also. Not sure we will be favored by more than 1 point in the next 6 games. ISU defense should be in the top 3 . B12 top to bottom is very competitive. There are no high probability wins left on the schedule. If we go 0-9, at least this will force Campbell to device a new offense and not emulate Iowa, if he is even capable of any adaptation. We might be in danger of losing Kohl due to offensive coaching incompetence.

I just don’t understand why these kids don’t understand that you need to keep your head up and see what you are tackling?
You absolutely cannot lower your head and use your helmet as a weapon. Yet they continue to do it all the time.
I’ve never agreed with ejecting kids from the game for it, but if they’re going to be that stupid, maybe they should be ejected? Ejected for being a dumb a** should be the call.
He was going low to tackle the qb by the knees and hed already committed when the qb slid.
It is targeting under the rule, which didnt exist when i played and needs to be modified now.
sliding is very dangerous because it exposes your head to the force of the tackler. Even if the contact is the shoulder pad and not the helmet, chance for severe injury is there.
Sliding should be illegal. They need to devise of something else to signal the qb wants to be down. maybe he could spike the ball.
You mean the difference in whether we win another game or not right?
