If our o-line improves big time then next year could be a really good one. Good-Jones sucks! Newell needs to work on accuracy on snaps. The d-line will be one of the best in the country with Bailey, Lima, Johnson, Enyi, Leo, McDonald etc.
Agree 100% Will McDonald will be a freaking monster very soon

Honestly I wasn't impressed with Washington State. They had no running game. Took no shots downfield. Their d game up a bunch of big plays. We beat ourselves with the turnovers and false starts.
I hate that sometimes we are so close and we cant just get over the hump, so many close loses these last two years, so Many/
Better then getting blown out I guess.

Give our D credit. They can make a lot of teams look bad.
Overall though, I think if you’re a neutral observer, you probably come away thinking the better team lost.
Despite a lot of mistakes, I thought both units played at a high level.
We've got over many humps! Onward & upward for ISU!! Look out next year non-believers!!!
I think they wanted to take shots down field, but we had them covered up.
We repeatedly punched ourselves and the refs threw a few in for good measure.
I know it does not matter, NO WAY did WSU beat us, we beat ourselves.
Their fithth in Heisman voting quarterback had one lucky pass in the second half to secure the victory. The defense had him completely confused. Had zero in the second half. I want my 32 and 18 back......
I think Montgomery is way more ready for the NFL than Buttler. You give David a strong o'line, hell who knows? Butler is so talented, but still needs another year to polish everything up.
I hope for Montgomery's sake he goes. He's taken a lot of hits these past few years and the shelf-life for a RB is short. He needs to get paid now.
Honestly, they should both go. After watching both of them get tackled 100 times with their legs getting twisted and turned, they need to take the money and run. Will be nice to have some skill players drafted!
Butler is an NFL player. May as well get paid to get better next year.
We will be fine, ISU played the #13 ranked team, we are #24 and lost by 2 points, . Look at the roster, we return a ton of kids. Yes, we will lose 2 great players, leaving early to the draft, but we will be fine. We are starting the glory years of ISU football, lets not become Iowa fans, ******** about the results and enjoy it.
Washington State didn’t beat us, we beat ourselves and the refs helped
I'll agree with this one. WSU played cleaner and it gave them the win, even if they had fewer big plays and some advantageous refereeing. We played well and had some great big plays to counteract our mistakes, but we had less "slack" to use. Minshew slipping out if those 4-5 near sacks for big plays really made the difference I think.
Plenty of blame for our own mistakes, but also major credit to team for fighting back when previous years' would've quit after those turnovers/missed FGs/calls etc.
