Outplayed at every position group except running back against a middle school team. Plus, we still run 3 yard out patterns on 3rd and 9.

Play calling is just as bad as it has always been. No creativity in the offense.

Kirk needed to be fired with Brian last year. Hopefully Beth tells him to take a hike after a 7-6 season.

Iowa's defensive line and lb's were superior. The defensive line was getting gassed late because the offense couldn't throw the ball.

Our Dline got zero pressure on the ISU qb; the ISU Dline was in our backfield all day. Advantage: ISU.

That’s football

To my untrained ‘fan in the stands’ eye without having watched any film, my grades for yesterday (not a statement of ranking or potential):

Special teams:
-punt and coverage = advantage Iowa
-kick-off & coverage = advantage Iowa
-punt return = advantage Iowa
-KO return = advantage Iowa
-FG = advantage IA State
-Long Snapper = Advantage Iowa

Offense:
-center = advantage Iowa
-guards = push to slight adv IA State
-tackles = advantage Iowa
-TE = in this game push receiving, advantage Iowa on blocking
-RB = advantage Iowa
-WR = advantage Iowa State
-QB = advantage Iowa State

Defense:
- DT = normally big advantage Iowa , but yesterday push to advantage IA State
- DE = advantage Iowa
- LB = advantage Iowa
-Corner = harder to tell as such big difference at WR, but advantage IA State
-Safety = push to advantage IA State

We were the better team plain and simple. Even ISU knows that... Our HC is a stubborn dumbass. That is why we lost.

We are not a better team. They have an offense. We don't. They have creative play calling. We don't.

ISU is not a middle school team, nor even close to whatever the college equivalent is. This might be their year to win 10 games.

They are finally in a position where the offensive side of the ball trumps their D, which is normally pretty solid. The LB position may be their undoing in a few games but there isn’t a team on their schedule they can’t beat.

We dominated the 1st half. Coaching lost us the game and won them the game. We play 10 times, we beat them 8.

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

We’d beat them 8/10 with the same, shitty coaching staff? Doubt it.

No pressure once starting to gas. ISU's offensive line was much better than Iowa's.
