***Official Iowa State at Oklahoma State Gameday thread****

We have a coaching problem. Every game we get OWNED in the second half when we aren't in Iowa City. Baylor had such a lead they didn't have to worry.

You are being kind. It is more obvious in the second half when our advantage of being proud dissipates and things get down to X&Os, but we are pretty consistent in our lack of making football plays.

Given how bad we are, we are pretty limited tactically. If we are doing well in one area, it likely means we are exposed in another. Smoke and mirrors only last so long, and it is critical you capitalize while it is working.

So I thought most fans thought that changing OC after last season was the thing to do. Yet when we discuss the offense it is PR fault so what difference did it make to change OC

The two are not mutually exclusive. Changing OCs was the right thing to do. It was the only thing left to do. The fact we needed to change OCs and are in Year 6 just starting to build for future averageness is CPR's fault.

So just force the ball into double-coverage so you Sam bashers can find more reasons to hate on him? Sure, that makes sense.

If our WR didn't suck - our TE would get linebacker coverage and not doubled.

This just in: When our WR's don't suck, SR can't hit them.

When have our receivers not sucked?

McCarney? Not overally talented, so separation was an issue, but he had a couple teams that would make tough catches.

That's my point - we have not had a good WR group in many years and definitely while Sam has been at QB.

"Life isn't fair. Life isn't fair".
AD needs to change his Maxi and realize the world isn't fair. Teaching the players that life should be fair with unicorns and rainbows and everything will be just super fine...

Sam would look a lot better under Mac and Loney with a run game and reliable guys like Whitver and Danielsen.
