Approx. 10% of our offensive plays were kneel downs (half and end of game).
That was so egregious I still can't believe that happened. I hate refs but I don't think they are on the take. That one made me wonder.
The Freshman QB handing off to the True Freshman RB running behind the True Freshman Guard, the True Freshman TE, and Walk-On FB/TE was a lot of fun to see!!!
My eldest son tells me ISU set the NCAA record for average yards / play, though they dropped the average by a yard with those Rocco losses. Has anyone else seen this as confirmed, namely the yards / play component?
Probably. They lost 9 yards on the last possession. Was tied 497 for both teams, ISU ended with 488.
Never going to complain about going 6-3 in Big 12 games and winning 4 Big12 road games.
But your right in the staff needs to figure a way to turn these 7-5 seasons into 8 or 9 win seasons. IMO that comes down to Sept games.
Zuriclone is a troll.
Never posts anything other than backhanded things about ISU's failings.
Just watching the replay now. Wow were Tillman & Brando slurping Sama and taking the company line with the backs that didn't travel.
Great job out of the ISU side to control the narrative

Running the ball up the middle 50 times for a 0.6 yard average is just as bad as turning it over on purpose. That was Ohio/Iowa game strategy. Nothing “safe” about putting young players in that position.
I’m glad they turned it around but there’s no disguising the game plan in those games was crap. We even flirted with it for first half of KU game.
Not sure if it’s been shared yet, but we’ve arrived
What we’re the plays that sprung against KSU? We’re the play calls different or was there better execution?
ISU threw the ball 44 times against Iowa.
If ISU comes out vertical early in both games, the opponent adjusts, and ISU doesn't have answers.
KU had well timed stunts that screwed everything up for ISU. Perhaps shorter passes to receivers sitting in pockets helps but the timing was still going to be messed up. ISU was pretty sloppy all over that night for whatever reason while KU was crisp.
His posts are killer.
If Sama breaks runs for 77, 79 and 60 yard TDs against Iowa are you still here complaining about the decision to run the ball?
