None of those are what you said in your first post. Calling the O-Line "embarrassing" is ignorant at best, and totally moronic at worst. I have NEVER seen an ISU QB have as much time to throw the ball as Jantz had in the first half. They did very well pass blocking, and they ran block alright in the first half, and poorly in the second. but calling them "embarrassing" is unacceptable.

I went in more depth of what I was trying to convey in the first post with out using the same words or I would be just repeating the exact post. I hope coach Rhoads does not think that the OL performance was acceptable. In the second half the way Iowa's DL was manhandling some of our 300 lb OL at the point of attack was embarrassing.

The biggest issue I am having is all the Iowa talk on the news etc that Iowa had some much trouble in the redzone. Like ISU didnt have issues with that today?
Didn't Iowa score both times they were in the redzone today? Sure they didn't make it into the endzone....but they still got points. We on the other hand got to the frickin goal line 3 times and came up with ZERO plus missed an extra point.
That is a lot of points to leave. This game should have not been close.

I love Jantz, but it seems like he is due for at least 1 zone read pull back fumber per game and he just can't read the middle of the defense yet when he is throwing the ball.
We can't keep turning the ball over!! we have 7 TO's in 2 games to our defense 3 take aways. That needs to be flopped around for us to be successful against teams in the Big12

Couldnt of said this better myself. I will add though, that the one thing I do like seeing out of Jantz is his completion percentage. After 2 games he's like 68%. If he keeps that up we will move the ball pretty effectively. Just needs to read the middle of the defense better. Those two picks were jus terrible decisions.
