Can someone explain to me how the D gets a delay-of-game penalty?
This. Doesn't have to play clock related for delay of game to be calledIf you prevent an opposing player from getting to the LOS, or mess with the ball placement.
We beat a crap team. Was it nice to beat Iowa? yeah. But I think its fair to expect to beat one of the worst offensive I've ever seen in almost 40 years. It's obviously better than the alternative especially to end the streak and on the road.Whatever. We just beat Iowa last week. The new season starts next week then I’ll really be watching.
We were really slow to sub in the punt team for some reason.Can someone explain to me how the D gets a delay-of-game penalty?
ok, man.We beat a crap team. Was it nice to beat Iowa? yeah. But I think its fair to expect to beat one of the worst offensive I've ever seen in almost 40 years. It's obviously better than the alternative especially to end the streak and on the road.
As awesome as it was to beat Iowa and as awesome as it is to be up 37-10, people have the right to be frustrated about calling back to back timeouts against Iowa only to get stuffed on 3rd down and two blocked punts, etc. Or blocked PATS or a false start right after calling a time out today with the starting offensive line and then a shanked punt.
The idea that suddenly some of this stuff gets cleaned up by next week? That's not typically how football or life for that matter works. You don't just all of a sudden decide to do something right.
Yes, we are a very young team. Yes, going 3-0 to start the year is absolutely amazing and I am very happy to see that despite what a lot of people thought we aren't just going to fall off a cliff after last year's class graduated. And sure, I'm no Bear Bryant but I do have a background in coaching a tiny bit in college and more in HS even if I was probably a crap one.
This ISN"T, to steal Coaches' phrase, the best version of ourselves out at the stadium today. Which is incredibly encouraging. Just like winning last week - yes, against a bad Iowa team - but not playing great and winning on the road was encouraging. Blowing out Ohio with the multitude of mistakes - mostly mental - is ENCOURAGING . Yes. But we're going into week 4, into league play with a massive step up and some of this stuff has happened in every game. That is not so encouraging (yes, I'm looking at you special teams)
Look at coaches' body language - does he look happy? That's all I'm saying. I'm loving the 3-0 start but we run a serious risk of being 3-1 if we can't get some of this addressed by next Saturday. More of a big picture view

I think out SP Teams performance thus far this year is the worst I have seen by an ISU team in 20 years! My grade for SP Teams today would not be above a C-.Why is our special teams so butt?
I now downgrade our SP Teams performance to a D. Two shanked punts, one almost blocked, two KO not reaching the end zone, one missed extra point & several Ohio that we’re unacceptably long!Why is our special teams so butt?

To be a fair with true freshman kicker, I don't expect 100% touch backs. I'd just like competent coverage mixed in with the occasional touchbackI think out SP Teams performance thus far this year is the worst I have seen by an ISU team in 20 years!
