There’s already plenty to build on. We’ll be fine against teams more on our level. We’re still young as hell in many places.
Defensively I’m nervous about the rest of the year, but I think this offense wins 6 games. Unpopular opinion here I’m sure, but I see the possibilities

heh ou lineman hugging orange every time. no wonder there's no pressure
I get that the umpire makes a determination about leverage and effect on the play, else there’d be a holding flag on literally every play - but when you see the D-lineman’s shoulder pad get twisted upward out of position as Gabriel gets 45 seconds of time to survey the field on 4th down … I mean, you don’t call that? Really?

They are killing us with slow, white 5'8" wide receivers. Give me a break. Defense is getting out schemed as badly or worse than our offense was out scheming itself the first 3 weeks

Their Oline not allowing pressure is why receivers are open.

It is nothing new for the QB to have all day. We had the zone going and guys covered. Now, QB has all day and guys open.

Heacock changed the D to a 3-3-5 for the Texas game in 2017 to take advantage of our best guys. 6 years later, time to go back to 4 down linemen.

we have got to add some more passing trees to compliment the seam routes we have been gashing them with.

Everyone else goes into the portal and gets big time players from big time programs but our beloved coach will get from useless programs if he even gets some. Look at OU transfers in the defense. You would think that Will McDonalds draft in the first round would have helped ISU in recruiting.

They are going to be coming downhill defensively for the rest of the game. Let's see how Rocco handles it. Learning situation!
