Imagine if Cinci didn’t suck donkey dicks

Right

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Tied at half. I'll take it.

 

[CycloneVet]

Purdy was awesome when he ran. Then Cambell pulled the reigns on him and he regressed.

Those “reigns” made him a better qb and helped him stay healthy

 

[cyclones500]

No shots at the end zone? None?

 

[madguy30]

Just no Boise bowl game please.

Do geese still kill themselves on that (was a rumor) field or did they figure out how to deter them?

 

[CYISFLY]

Tie ball game folks, wish I felt better about it

 

[Clonefan94]

We’ll need even more summer O Line improvement than usual next year.

They’ll definitely tell us how improved they are. If they’d have actually improved as much as the coaches have told us under Campbell, we’d be the ‘92 Dallas Cowboys.

Lol at the Cincy player letting the ball bounce Iowa State's way.

 

[demoncore1031]

Ginger mullet!!

 

[ISU_Guy]

Tied. And played about as bad as we could.
Get ur **** together 2nd half

 

[awd4cy]

2 horrendous teams out there. Still hoping to pull this out and beat a bad KSU team in 2 weeks.

 

[LAClone]

It’s not Mouser. It’s Campbell. Manning, Nate, and now Mouser. It’s the same scheme and game plan. It’s Campbell ball. Doesn’t matter who the OC is. The same ****** formations and the same ****** scheme and play calling will happen.

But I put new tires on my Ford Pinto every year. What could possibly be wrong?

Better? You think he improved during his time in Ames? No he didn’t.

Nope. We all should have known better... we take ZERO risks. Worse than KF.

ISU's last offensive play got blown up by a wide 3 man front.

A 3rd and 9 ?

In theory shouldn't happen... happens. Is it good offensive line play? Nope. Not in the slightest. But it happens. Especially when you have a DL that knows you are passing the ball and the pocket can't move.

So if you're offensive linemen is struggling to straight pass pro - which THEY ARE - move the pocket. What's been arguably our best play? Those little roll outs either to Burkle short or where we hit Higgins deeper. Stuff like that alleviates pressure off the OL because its harder for the defensive linemen to know the launching point.


Or god forbid, we actually decide to discover this amazing concept of a flubbing screen pass.

The offensive line is not playing great. To argue otherwise would be insane.


But, BUT importantly... what we are doing right now is basically this.


"Offensive line, what's going on, what's open?

"Coach, bootleg is wide open, maybe try running toss. They're coming hard tackle to tackle, we're struggling right now, we gotta slow them down and move the pocket some"



Our offensive game plan: " Run inside zone, maybe some G power and straight drop back"



Getting mad at the OL sucking at what they suck at is like me getting mad at myself for not looking like Brad Pitt. It might make me feel good at times, but it doesn't address the problem. Which is we're not doing anything to help them. We're taking what they are struggling with right now and saying "do that. Over and over again. If we do it enough, we're going to get good at it."

Really poorly played game.

 

[Dgilbertson]

This. See what happened after he started running more consistently in the league.

 

[DSM4Cy]

That was another gross half of football.

 

[CYISFLY]

And We get the ball to start the 2nd half

 

[cyphoon]

Fortunate to be tied at halftime. Special teams is outplaying our opponent, but the O and D took L's that half
