Look at last night. Once again the offense started off terrible. Once the the offense started sustaining drives in the third quarter the D played pretty well. Also, hard to lose two NFL caliber LBs.
Just hope that CPR hires a great offensive mind that is on par with Wally Burnham. Yeah, statistically ISU was dead last in defense in the Big 12. First, that had a lot to do with how bad the offense was, second, the guy lost guys to the NFL last year. Everybody knew it was going to be a rebuilding job on the D side of the ball this year, and in stretches the D actually looked really good.
Go watch the game again. It was a game of attrition. WVU had guys dropping left and right from injuries and we simply outlasted them, much like what happened with our inexperience early in the season. Our plays late worked primarily because we were playing their backups; not because we had any miraculous epiphanies. I'm happy for the win, and proud of our guys for not giving up.

Not sure why everyone on Bliel. I didn't think he was great with the O line in previous years, but hard to argue that the TE didn't get better this year. Did anyone see what a stud Bibbs was the second half? I am fine with him coaching TE's.
If West Virginia had beaten us they would have outlasted us. You don't "outlast" a team that is beating you by 17 in the fourth. You go and you take the win. That's what our guys did on Saturday. They fought back and took the win.Go watch the game again. It was a game of attrition.

I'm not one of those that likes to celebrate someone losing their job, so I'm not going to be amongst those jumping up and down shouting for joy that Mess is gone.
That being said, Mess had to go. It simply had to be done. He was neither developing QBs or leading the offense in any kind of way that made any kind of sense.
