So be that, those things are not getting better. Rocco has proven he can’t win with our line, backs, and wide receivers. Maybe Kohl can win with them. If Rocco can’t win against the MAC with this team, he won’t win against the BIG 12! Maybe Kohl can, as he has much better arm talent. My guess is that Campbell will double down on Rocco . . . Similar to my Sophomore year at ISU when Walden refused to play Troy Davis at RB even though it was obvious to everyone he was the best player on the team! Maddening what pride does to people.
Nobody can win with our offense. The play calling prevents that. Don't be surprised if Anthony Becht talks Rocco into transferring out. I would probably be more surprised if that didn't happen. The chances of playing in the NFL would be higher at pretty much any other school.

Offensive line is the main problem! They’re to heavy and slow! Weight only is not making them better! Pitiful line play! Come on Clanton where is that violence you preach?

What are you going to do with Kohl with the mess around him? Throw into coverage? RPOs? Isn't he lacking mobility?
Give it a try? Rocco just lost to a MAC team! What makes you think he beats BIG 12 defenses? It is like arguing with a brick wall around here?? Rocco threw 2 interceptions and scored 1 touchdown against a MAC team. Everyone who cares about winning should want a change!

Rocco didn't lose to a MAC team.

ISU lost to a MAC team.

Seems like you're Kohl's high school friend or fam or something and have an agenda and it's weird.

What? My only agenda is winning! I guess that is
‘Weird’? According to you?? BTW, I have never met any of the Kohls!

Don't forget about Brahmer and Sama. Sama can't do much because our line sucks, but he is the best RB on the team. Brahmer will end up being one of the best TEs in ISU history.
I honestly couldn’t watch the game today (turns out thankfully), but sama had -5 yds on 3 carries….. I agree the line sucks but -5 yards.

There was literally 0 places for Norton or Sama to go. They gave a strong effort to follow where the play was supposed to go but it wasn't even remotely closed to being blocked well. There would have been a very minimal at best difference if we just chose to not play an OL at all on run plays

You blaming this on Rocco is comical. Those 2 picks were not on Rocco, you are not bright.

Agree. Thought he played mostly well.

The one thing that surprised me was I thought he was better running in the open field but the vast majority of the game I thought he was good.

Young QB mistake at the end but it's gonna happen when you have young QB;s
What mistake? Hitting the receiver in the hands while the receiver was being tackled?

I am not bright? He scored 7 pts as the starting QB against a MAC team with 2 pics? He still lost! Do you think he can win in the Big 12? You are the person who is ‘not bright’. Sorry, we have a guy on the bench who was recruited by everyone in CFB and we are sticking with Rocco? Talk about moronic decision making!

Kohl looked terrible against uni.... let him redshirt this year and give him a chance to adjust to the college game.

How were either of those "pics" on Rocco? If you think they were, shows your lack of football understanding. First one, guy and a good route, but fell down. Second one was pi and trying to make something happen at the end of a game.

If anyone thinks the coaches are going to let Kohl even try to throw the ball downfield when they won’t let Rocco is kidding themselves. They don’t need to play Kohl, they need to let Rocco throw the ball downfield. He showed he can do it. Anyone that says he needs to be benched because of today’s loss either didn’t watch the game, doesn’t know what they saw, or has an agenda.
