*** Official IOWA STATE vs #4 TCU Game(Day) Thread ***

[cyclonehomer]

Can we throw some $$ together before the press conference to get some actual questions asked?

Special teams is a disaster. Need a new coach there.

You know it's bad when Cdub and CycloneFanatic have no halftime show. They know it's just gonna get worse

Or they're out in Oregon because of that tournament.

We don't deserve to be in this game in the slightest but that was utter BS that we weren't allowed to sub. Last week against Tech they stood over the ball for a good 5 seconds then let Tech waltz on the field. Just now they didn't even give us a half second. Inconsistent officiating is staple of the Big 12.

They had a TD on the call stands replay so does it really matter?

Man you can sure see the team speed disparity in those clips. What yeast was it?

They still did a live pre-game show a few hours ago

Need a coach there…

This will be interesting to see what happens here. I mean Matt has to see the issues here right? He can't be arrogant enough to not make changes? Right?

Was listening to the radio when the sub fiasco happened on TCU's drive at the goal line. I knew it was bad when both John and Eric said "that's BS".

Tom Manning developed offense. If we fired CMC & Tom, make John Heacock the HC , bring some G5 OC / specials team coaches, things will actually get better.

CMC is nothing without john Heacock.

This is one of those clueless statements. He hires Jon, just like TJ hired green to install or BB and saying TJ shouldn’t get any credit.

 

[cyatheart]

Reality is....two of the three units are horrific. Not bad, not having a bad couple games, not young....horrific.

 

[isuno1fan]

That ref plain ****** up or he doesn’t understand the rules. It’s not even a question if that should have been a delay of game because we should have been given time to sub. It’s like the people who coach our special teams also advise big 12 refs.

Quit whining. It should have been a TD earlier if we are being honest.

 

[JM4CY]

I was thinking we led the nation.

How do I look this up to confirm?

This game isn’t on Manning.

Only teams losing worse than us at the moment are Colorado and Northwestern. We have stooped to their level as a program.

Even West Virginia beat OK State in Stillwater, something we could not do. We are a bottom 10 FBS program and it isn't even close.

 

[CRcyclone6]

I am really curious what the penalty would have been had CMC not taken a timeout. Illegal substitution after given a split second to decide to sub or not?

5 yd penalty John said since TCU didn't have a TO

 

[Cyclonepride]

Probably the first Campbell coached game that has basically looked like our average historical pre-Campbell game.

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Was listening to the radio when the sub fiasco happened on TCU's drive at the goal line. I knew it was bad when both John and Eric said "that's BS".

Im still trying to wrap my brain around how bad that was … its so ******* bad.

CMC: TL DR

This game isn’t on Manning.

Not entirely but he's nothing close to a solution.

He's had a terrible scheme for years that was covered up by elite talent. And we're seeing what it looks like when the talent isn't elite on that side of the ball.

Isn't his thing supposed to be o-line coaching? They've struggled there repeatedly for years.
