Does the offensive line play put us yet another year behind in rebuilding? The line we have now is totally inept. Even if we bring in better lineman this next class, very rarely can a true freshman step in at one of those positions and make an impact. Very, very disappointing to say the least.
not so fast my friend.....Mizzou with a fumble recovery. Frankly I hope Mizzou wins this. It's time to start cheering for the Big Twelve, especially the North.

It's important to bring up Minny and Brewster only for the reason that it shows what can be done at a losing program. The Gophers were absolutely awful last year. They won one game beating Miami OH, while losing to the likes of Florida Atlantic and North Dakota State. This season they are now 6-1 after winning a huge game today on the road at Illinois no less.
I'm not saying we hired the wrong guy in Chizik and should have tried to get Brewster instead. But seriously, what is wrong with our football team and program? The more things change it seems the more they stay the same here. We can't finish games, we can't beat any ranked teams, and we can't win on the road. These things have all been hallmarks of ISU football for years and years now with different coaching staffs as well.
College football logic doesn't seem to apply at ISU, because you would think that sooner or later we would break some of our losing trends, yet it doesn't happen. I don't have the answers. I like Gene Chizik and think he was a good hire, but to be honest I expect more at this point, and not just in the W-L department but also in the way the players execute game plans and the basic fundamentals. At times last season I thought we made breakthroughs, but now we seem to have almost regressed in many areas. Brewster and Minny show what can be accomplished at bottom tier programs. What's their secret? How did they get things turned around so quickly? Will it ever happen at ISU? I don't know.

Man, the North is back to the norm. The norm being the wicked stepsister of the South.
In a good note...Kennard Banks was back on the field tonight. The only good thing I saw tonight.
So what is the over under on attendance next week - I guess it will be in excess of 50k because there will be 10k Nebraska fans there ready to give us a major beatdown. I really don't like the Huskers.
