Every single play in football can get people hurt. Quit this weepy bull ****
Bad take. Kneel down is a formation that most are released for. If you are a diferisse player that starts blowing up kneels downs not only would you likely hurt someone, b it a ref may even throw a flag at you. Not saying it is right, but it is what it is.

This is a typical CMC coached game so far. Not really prepared after a long layoff......poor offensive line play.......trying to run the ball when the opponent is giving you the pass.

So not really upset about the game, but sort of humored by those here who insist this is an "exhibition/glorified scrimmage". Tell that to Matt next time he is blowing his stack.

We have at least 3 real ones in the actual college home stadium. Do we have any “kind of” road bowls? I saw Miami had to go up to play Rutgers in nyc.
I’m not sure I get your point. We don’t play the bowl game in Ames, so it’s either on the road at a neutral site or it’s a true road game.

I also can't believe that on 4th and < 1 yard early in the game we went shotgun and didn't try a plain old QB sneak.

Having said that, I think we're still in this and can come back.

ISU players and coaches did not play smart football on that last drive…Settle for a field goal, give up a trick play, Surges just needs outside contain to end the half and completely whiffs. We gotta recruit another transfer corner. Ice the kicker never works. Just a lot of dumb plays.

I agree but it’s still pretty empty compared to us winning at ksu, byu etc
We shouldn’t be getting our ass kicked
For me, its more about the comfort of playing on their own field and not so much about the fans. Their QB threw two perfect bombs for two TD’s. Maybe it didnt have anything to do with playing on their home field, but the comfort of doing so certainly didn’t hurt.

Come on folks, are people that bad at reading lips? He was mad that the refs allowed Memphis to snap and get a practice quick in.
He should look in the mirror at himself if he’s mad. He waited too long on the TO. DONT GIVE THEM THE CHANCE TO EVEN SNAP IT.

They scored on their first drive of the half. We need to score on the first drive of the second.

You’re right that the defense is disengaged. But that’s exactly why the play works. If people want to ban running plays that the defense doesn’t expect, you’re going to have to completely redo how the entire game of football, or, at minimum, also ban pooch punts, fake punts, field goals, and spikes.
