ISU just has to make some plays. Twice today ISU had a chance to recover critical fumbles, and they failed. They had a first and goal at the 7 and failed to score. Stuff like that is what wins and loses games. Just have to get better.

And you end up being 1-8 in the last 9 games decided by a single score or less.
If you read any of my posts about the Texas game, you would have seen that. I said if we continue to make mistakes and play like we have offensively this season, we would lose badly. Well, the Offense improved, we made too many mistakes, the game was close and we still lost. It was improvement in some places and still bad in others
I haven't read through the thread, so this might already be posted.
It’s like blaming Breece for Iowa loss last year because of one play. Insanity.
Just meant the team (especially on offense) is improving, and I think they will start winning some Big Xii games. Cannot change the past games, but the season is not lost - even sitting 0-4 at the bottom of the Big Xii.
I know we aren't supposed to say it around here, but it does matter that our two best running backs have been out/banged up pretty badly for several weeks now. I'm hopeful a bye week will help.
The comment about not having the talent to run the offense they want to run is spot on. We don’t have the TE or line talent to try and control TOP and also score enough points to winI haven't read through the thread, so this might already be posted.
The timing of todays play makes it a you can’t overcome type of play. If that play comes with another opportunity it is bad but you can overcome. With how it ended up it absolutely changed the outcome.
For sure. Honestly, it would be nice if they went to two bye weeks like they did during COVID. Add another week on to the season.
Toss the rule. NFL doesn’t use it. Enforce 15 yarders for unnecessary roughness or intentional hits to head.
Sorry, but that's not worse than X's unfortunately. X didn't have his knocked out by a defender like that.
The season goals have changed for me, wins and losses aren’t all that important with a low tier bowl game on the line at best. I want to see Dekkers play well enough for me to believe next year won’t be the bottom out of the “rebuild”, I saw that today. Sucks, but that’s where I stand.
I’m not smart enough to know what changed today on offense, but Dekkers looked much better. Love the rollouts, which @Jeremy predicted. Running game is still a disaster, but we overcame that much better today.
Can the defense not fall off next year? Some huge talent losses.
Once again, hate talking about next year with 5 games left, but I think that’s reality.
