Will someone PLEASE tell me why we are in the blasted shotgun (6 yards off the goal line) when we should have QB sneaked it 3 times in a row. Holy Toledo!!! Help me undertand why you don't have a 6'2 inch 230 lb QB pusing over from 1 yard out against UNI!!

we've tried that twice this game so far - it was shut down both times.

Yeah we need to see how this team comes out of the half. I would have liked to have seen us with a couple touchdown lead at the half, but we aren't the only team that has struggled in the first half today. KState is 0-0 at the half to E. Kentucky. Tech is 10-9 to Texas State with a quarter to go. Texas is 3-3 against Rice at the end of the first.

James White ONLY bright spot......
Tell Jantz to RUN on the roll out,,,,,,and stop running outta bounds short of the first down?!!!!!!!!!!!
Herman's play calling????????????

Running the radio audio over the Clone Zone is DUMB. Junior High.

I'd rather have Jantz run out of bounds than sustain a career-ending injury against UN-effing-I...

UNI definitely brought a grudge. That ahole on Reynolds needs to sit.

This game isn't going much different than last year folks. Except, we're turning it over and UNI isn't.

Also, we have too many undisciplined football players out there. I was going to say we're an undisciplined football team, but that's not fair to all the guys out there that are disciplined. Rhoads will be chewing some serious *** at the half.

This has been an embarrassment thus far. We are supposedly a Big 12 caliber football team and we need Jeff Woody to push our QB into the endzone illegally in order to gain 2 inches against UNI.

Probably what I'm MOST disappointed with, besides our stupid penalties, is our total inability to run the ball against an FCS team. I really can't stand the way we run the ball in this offense. It's SO slow to develop. Jantz holds the ball for what seems like an eternity trying to decide whether to hand the ball off or not. And by that time, UNI is in our backfield. Very frustrating.

We are so lucky to have a 7-6 lead right now. We had better look a LOT better this 2nd half or we could lose this thing. Jantz seems to be getting a bit more comfortable... I hope.

One thing I haven't understood is why Herman insists on not running the ball. They have got to run the ball the second half to open up passing lanes.

At least a lot of the Big 12 has looked pretty terrible today...

I agree that we need to pound the ball via the running game. Even with guys injured/out, we should be able to push UNI around. Then go to the air...

Jantz has made some mistakes, but he hasnt panicked. The nerves subsided a bit in the 2nd and I think overall we will be alright. Get the ugly out now, thats what the early game is for.

I really wish Reynolds would live up to his hype. He has yet to catch a ball in traffic... in his career.

Yes John, it IS Iowa State's fault. They are the ones who chose the ****** content provider.
