I wasn't getting negative, just pointing out that I think our players are showing a lot of growth while our coaching staff still seems to be making a lot of the same mistakes.

Proud of the guys coming out fairly disciplined and thus far never really looking complacent. Good strides week to week in some key areas. Cincy is B1G West level bad, but still some good positives.

The play calling sounds good on the radio, and with pace?

How is the OL looking? Pass protection still sounds great.

OL's coming along. I'd like to see if they can get Sama or Sanders out in space.

Love Norton but he's more of a crasher.

OMG! The negative nancy's were getting all moist over the thought of ISU giving up points and it didn't happen!

I wasn't thrilled with the play calling on the last ISU offensive series, either, but good Lord!
Just because it did not happen, does not mean the offense series before that was right. In previous occasions on this same cript by CMC we have given up points before the half, which ends up being the difference in the loss

Wow! They had 2-3 guys behind us on the Hail Mary.

Good lord.

Yeah…. that was scary af! They had a wide open guy right there coming across.

Actually was not a very good play by Cooper there IMO. I would have liked to see him coming forward on that and knocking it down versus backing up a little and waiting for the ball to come to him and getting the INT.

Thought the Cincy player was going to break right in front of him and get the TD.

Thankfully that didn’t happen! Move on and dominate the second half!

Seems to me that we've been getting short-spotted by a yard on a lot of plays. May be seeing it wrong...

Compared to the last trip to Ohio, it is night and day compared to what it was and what is now!
Not playing football when puking makes a difference, too! Glad they stayed away from the skyline chili!

It’s easier to just pick it off if you can get your hands on it. We just sa what happened when WV tried to knock down a Hail Mary, it ended up right in the hands of the trailing WR.

I could go for a soul crushing 15 play 75 yard TD drive to start the 2nd half.

Yeah jump balls tend to be just kind of oddly timed and unnatural vs. conditioned drill-like playmaking.
