Um but that was what, year 1? This is year 6, under Campbell, this is wayyyyyy worse, its over imo.

That poster said it was the worst they'd seen since CMC has been at ISU. Year 1 counts in that.

Conversely, one of the most dominant wins under CMC came that season vs. Tech.

Not exactly sure.
Team is good. The coaches thinking 1 yard shallow crossing routes to a dinged up wr is your best option against a bad defense is really bad.
Receiver has to know down and distance also. X is great but when you need 3 yards, get a 1 yard pass, you need to turn and drive up field immediately. Just falling forward will get you 1.5 yards so you just need one step to pick it up. Tried to stretch it sideways too much.

My kingdom for an Allen Lazard about now

Duh!
I am concerned that we've seen Dekkers barking at CMC in a couple of games, and at his teammates. Meantime, we have WRs looking at the side line like WTF. I don't recall seeing that much, if ever, in the CMC era. Dekkers has to be under tremendous pressure succeeding the best era in ISU history, as well as the Media/fan hype. I just hope this group can come together and find more success this Season.

Blum and others did this kid a disservice with how much they hyped him up during the off-season.

Duh!
Problems may get worse. SIAP posted, but apparently some @$$hole leaked Gilbert’s cell number and a bunch of @$$holes are going after him via text. Come on! We are @#$&ing better than that, not to mention our enemies will pile on posing as Cyclones. He‘s an 18yo kid that feels worse than any fan right now.

X did this a few times actually. He didn’t look good today.

The last time we saw a QB barking at CMC we ended up with Kyle Kempt.

Kansas had 43 yards in the second half. Defense shut them down. Offense couldn’t finish.
This was my take. 14 total points (with 7 coming on a INT shortened field) should be enough to win any game. Period. End of story. And we had opportunities to score points, and peed them all down our leg. Offense needs a come-to-Jesus in the worst way.
