Campbell’s Offense

Because our slot receiver will drop the ball to avoid getting hit.
That's why I am not a fan of hiring coaches from EZ-mode places. Mt. Union? Probably FCS talent playing D3 competition. Whoopee! Toledo? One of the easiest non P5 jobs in the nation, besides Houston previously.
ISU has never had more resources and better support than recently. And this is what we get?
Coach speak and excuses? What's next, the airport is too far away again?
Noel needs to see the bench then. Use a TE post or something but for god sake it was open when they used it 3 times
Well, you see, Campbell calls the plays he wants, doesn't matter what the defense alignment is, or what tendencies they have shown. You run a Campbell offense, it works, dammit! That's the Mt. Union way.
For how much we adjust and scheme and look impressive on defense, or offense looks like it is drawn on cardboard with half-eaten crayons.
Lol. The middle’s been lava for years now.
sark calling a gem vs Bama. Burning them over the top over and over.
Lol heck yeah it does. It’s like watching a really bad middle school game. I’ve never seen so many routes also ran so close together. Ends up being a congested mess.
We have talent but they're young. I mean we lost our starting QB Rb TE T. Not many teams are gonna be lighting up the scoreboard against that Iowa defense with freshman playing.
take the best player out of lot of the bottom 25, they drop too right?This is an analysis I did in Dec last year...
Beni Ngoyi to make decision between Iowa State and Nebraska on Wednesday
Every year our base of talent improves under CMC. We beat Texas 3 years in a row. This year was bad. Overall things are good with our program.cyclonefanatic.com
Like I said, Kohl is obviously a huge part of the class. There is no great way to represent what the class means without taking him out as he skews the overall average ranking so drastically. The reason I removed him to represent ranking is that if you take him out, it would better compare to prior seasons. There isn't a better way to discuss the average ranking of other recruits, unfortunately.
With Kohl, we're currently 42nd.
WITHOUT Kohl, it drops to something around 60-65.
That would actually be the bottom of our last 5 classes. 2022 was 39th. 2020 for instance was 46th. That's a huge difference and a reverse of prior trends. You would expect this class to be the best ever based on the timing of the Fiesta Bowl season.
Last year we had 9 recruits in the Top 600, this year we have 1 inside the Top 700 (Kohl).
Again, there is no great way to represent this, other than the average ranking of our recruits is drastically lower in this class vs the last 5.
And also again, I'm not being pessimistic. We're a developmental program, but the better the player to start with, in theory the higher the ceiling they have. I'm just breaking down the numbers because all I hear is that this class is a monster class - when it's really a monster QB and then lower than average in every other position.
Way to conservative, too a fault. 4th and 1, no timeouts end of the game and he runs it right up the gut with no chance at all. You cannot win in college football if you are not willing to push the envelope. Maybe some misdirection, a reverse, push the ball downfield anything beside the vanilla ass plays he insists on running. Not going to win **** with this type of play calling. If nothing changes then we’re looking down the barrel of 4-8 at best. Unfortunate but true.
Campbell is quickly turning into Rhoads 2.0. I used to think we couldn't do better, but today has made me think otherwise. Kansas looked like world beaters againstIllinois. ISU looked like monkeys ******* a football. Campbell is done.
P.S Noel needs to sit.
P.S Noel needs to sit.
Not to toot my own horn, but I was way ahead of the curve on wanting Rhoads gone. I’ll let this season play out, but I’m going to be there again with Campbell. I’ll be saying we should cut him loose now, 75% of posters will disagree, two years later everyone is like “we should have gotten rid of him 2 years ago”.
That really was just a fluke year and fluke success. If covid wasn’t a thing we probably would have been 8-5 that year.
Scheme is pretty generic. After 8 years can you define CMC‘s scheme? I can’t. Actually, I can on defense b/c he trusts Heacock. So CMC has a good offensive scheme and the OC playcalling has been the issue?
