How about some props for DeShawn Hanika? He had a nice game and has been the best receiving tight end on the team this year.
Props to Manning and the other coaches
- Thread starter CoKane
- Start date
Every team left on the schedule
We will score just enough points to lose painfully to whom ever..,
If k sate scored 20 wr would lose that 20-17
If Kansas scored 21 we would lose 21 to 20
If Texas scored 35 we would have lost 35 to 31

It was better, it doesn't excuse the pathetic effort up to now, and let's not forget, they still didn't score enough to win the game. Better yes, which is a start.
Right, but less of the problems were scheme. We were back to the bad offense with turnovers. It wasn't Mannings fault Dekkers threw a dumb interception. And it wasn't Mannings fault Dekkers fumbled/the refs were incompetent.
ISU played better on offense today...scored 21. Elsewhere, the 6 teams in the other games were scoring 40,43,42,52,40 and 43.
That was really weird. It's clear Brock and Norton aren't 100%, but they kept getting snaps/carries all game.
The running game has been terrible since Brock got banged up. Hopefully after the bye week both those guys are good to go full time again.
In my opinion, this is hard to put this one on the coaches. Sure there were a few questionable play calls but that happens everywhere. I questioned taking a delay of game backing up our punter but it didn’t end up hurting them. A pick in the end zone, Johnson dropping an easy pick that ended up in Texas td, and X’s drop. There were plenty of opportunities but just didn’t make plays.
True, but ISU out scored every other one of UTs opponents except TTU.
Drive 1: 3 plays, 3 yards - punt
Drive 2: 3 plays, 4 yards - punt
Drive 3: 11 plays, 84 yards - TD
Drive 4: 9 plays, 53 yards - Interception
Drive 5: 6 plays, 17 yards - punt
Drive 6: 1 play, 3 yards - end of half
Don't know if props are deserved for this half.

Dekkers is young and having him run the ball keeps his jitters down I think. Helps the run game as well. Having him run has to be part of the game plan for us to win a couple more games.
Dekkers has the talent to lead and the offense has to keep the urgency going.

Of course, the most likely outcome is 5 wins, and a heartbreaking loss in the game that would have been #6 and therefore keeps us out of a bowl game.
He spread it out quite a bit today, Hannika had a couple catches, Stanley, Noel, and of course X. Also went to Shaw once incomplete
The only props I'm going to give coaches today is props to Campbell for having enough composure to not physically assault and official today or one of their mouthy players.
I am just astounded by the crispness of Dekkers' passing and our receivers ability to snag the balls out of the air. The 10-20 yard plays were what we have been waiting for and expecting. NOW, if we had ANY type of running game.
Texas won the game when their tandem backs swapped out with multiple 15 yd runs and marched down the field in the 4th quarter, topped by a 4th down TD pass.
I am still confused by our poor coverage of the TD pass. In a very tight space we had two defensive guys to their one receiver and it was not even close.
Four and five star recruits putting up 52 against Alabama.
Manning put up 9 and 11 against Kansas and Kansas State. If you need a ton of 4 and 5 star recruits to put up more than that, you’re not doing a good job.
That being said, for the first time since Ohio, seemed like Manning actually knew what he was doing out there.
This is my issue. We knew Dekkers could do this against SEMU and Ohio. Didn’t see it much against an elite Iowa team. But why, oh why, did we have such a conservative passing game the first 3 weeks, especially against inferior defenses in Kansas State and Kansas?
