Who cares about pass interference or the field goal? We got outplayed by a MAC team

I'm absolutely rarely in the 'but refs' camp but everyone who watches any football should care a lot about that field goal call in the name of reffing shortages and refs getting worse.

ISU got out played, didn't deserve to win, but that should be 3 points in any situation.

It’s not even the loses (ok that is most of it) but especially the WAY we lose. Run up the middle, throw one yard short for a first down, miss a fg…repeat. I mean why not TRY a reverse, a flea flicker, a fake punt? It might actually work

 

[HFCS]

Never should have kicked that 2nd FG. You go for the kill there. 7 points or nothing. Matt is weak …

Especially when the hurry up sneak had been a VERY easy 2-3 yards the previous two times. It should just be known that if they are a yard short the whole team does that when they are inside the 50 and down late in the game.

The box score says they ran for 38 yards.

Can anyone at the game confirm the running backs took the opportunity to run 200m intervals on the track to ensure they got something out of the trip?

Saying “******** programs care about 6-6” seemed overly optimistic, but I think it fair to say ******** programs lose games on fields surrounded by tracks.

I line is such a complete disaster

 

[acoustimac]

If a coach like Nick Saban can grow and change, maybe it's time that Campbell does the same, without it, this team will struggle to win 2 more games.

you are being overly optimistic.

I knew it was good right away, second view confirmed it beyond doubt…

But I also know if we had got back to 10-10 our overtime play calling would go back to first half play calling and we’d be 100% guaranteed loser in overtime. Actually feels better this way and I hate bad refs more than anybody.

When you recruit and develop

And yea CMC is very good at that,

You need to pay someone to scheme and do the game day heavy lifting.

Heacock is that guy on D.

...is he though?

 

[ISUAgronomist]

Wonder what Dekkers bet was today?

 

[dosry5]

Man I am just dreading the start of big 12 play. Could get ugly in a hurry

Brother, it’s already ugly

 

[Klubber]

Defense holds opposing teams to 13 and 10 points in consecutive games, and we lose both.

The real nut punch is that much better offenses await, and our offense might be about as good as it is going to be. Good chance this season gets uglier each week.

H

It will. The offense is what it is and is what it was last season.

Campbell wants a conservative offense. We have a conservative offense with a below average running game and O-line; not a recipe for success.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Campbell has become the very definition of Einstein's definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.

 

[Thomasrickj]

All this bull**** is on Campbell. I don’t care about whether the field goal was in. I don’t care about PI. You spend 90 percent of every game calling the game like an absolute coward and you’re left having to hope for a call or a good bounce. They don’t deserve to win these games. Campbell is out of his league completely and we will never have success again unless he quits with the uber conservative bull****.

That’s a perfect analysis.

Yeah who knows how ISU finds a way to screw that one up but that was pitiful.

Withey's 5th foul at Hilton '13 or KSU PI flag picked up '17 level.

There's gotta be a still shot of that out there on the webs.

 

[cyclones500]

We've reached the Donnie Duncan approach to offense. Settle for field goals whenever possible.

 

[HFCS]

It will. The offense is what it is and is what it was last season.

Get the message to him that running on first and second down while averaging 1 ypc is not conservative.

 

[CySmurf]

I don't feel bad for a guy who is unwilling to change when it's obvious to everyone that change on the offensive side is needed...to be fired.

 

[Darius Bieber]

Mevis' brother hit a game winning 61 yard field goal for Mizzu and we miss inside 30 regularly.

 

[Clonefan32]

The tv angles are misleading. You’d have to be directly under to see where it was when it went over. He immediately said no good. I have no issue with it

I bet Matt Campbell would give his left testicle for a 6-6 season now…
