Tight End
Randy Peterson reported that the first catch by a tight end was in game 3. I remember seeing #87 catch a ball in the second game against Iowa. Last year, tight ends caught 6 passes. It has been reported that the new coaching staff would utilize tight ends much more. To date that has not happened. -

Season of hype is almost over.
After the end of each fall season, the hype talk starts up with the new recruiting class and how this new class is better than last season. Then comes spring practice with the talk of the improvement individual players are making and how good some of them look in scrimages. Summer rolls around... -

COLUMN: My nightmares about ISU's O-Line in 2016
You can not put all the blame for sacks on the OL. Last year the freshman running backs did a poor job at times of picking up blitzes. I saw several times where they whiffed on block attempts. Some of the blame also must be placed on the QBs who sometimes held onto the ball too long or did not... -

Spring QB Writeup
Coach said Lanning can play winning football in this conference. He has to push positive thoughts. What he did not say is that if Lanning plays at the same level next year the number of victories may not increase. ISU needs improved play at the quarterback position if it wants to be more... -

Why are we recruiting so many defensive backs?
According to my count they have 6 dbs so far in the next class. It seems like 4 would be a normal class size. Reasons for the large class could include players leaving or the new coaches may be trying to improve the talent level at the position, but does anyone have any input as to why we are... -

A strong rushing offense alone will not result in more future wins.
Jamie Pollard recently quoted that in Big-12 games the team that rushed for the most yards, won 80% of the games and that our new coach had developed good offensive lines with better than average rushing offenses. The logic is that if we rush more we win more. It is not that simple though. I... -

Lanning versus Richardson.
There is no doubt that many fans were hoping for a change in quarterback as the season progressed. With many losing teams, one of the most loved players on the team is the second string quarterback. A change at quarterback is the one position that can have the largest impact on the performance... -

Not Enough for the Haters
I think that everyone believes that Paul Rhoads is a good person. But one victory is not a turnaround. When Lanning came in against Baylor, the game was effectively over. Yes there was time left, but Lanning was put in to get experience. Yes the team did play well, but I thought that Baylor... -

Defense wins games
I saw a stat a year or two ago when ISU was playing on national tv. It was that in every game except for one that ISU had won with Coach Rhoads, the other team had scored 24 points or less. This has held true this year. Historically under Coach Rhoads, ISU does not win high scoring games. I... -

-The Mangino news is troubling. Turnover of the staff is usually not helpful to a team trying to turn its program around. -The freshman running backs have done a good job running the football, but the last couple of weeks they (especially against TCU) they did poorly blocking blitzing... -

Receivers.
According to the stats I saw Montgomery and Bundrage only caught one ball each against Iowa. Lazard caught 7, but they all need to be used. I could not tell from the TV, but were they not open or did Iowa's defense double them alot. From just about everything I have read, our most talented... -

My heart and my head do not agree.
My head is saying this year may resemble last year. ISU was the worst team in the Big-12 last year which included Kansas beating us by 20. Last years recruiting class was rated second from the bottom in the conference. The starting QB is 0-15 against league opponents. ISU's rushing offense... -

Final four thoughts.
After watching the final four teams, if ISU wants to reach the final four next year, they will have to play much better defense next an they did this year. The final four teams played with more intensity on defense than ISU did this past year. I also thought that the referees did not do...- cyborg

Demond Tucker a Force on the Inside
I hope that Tucker is everything that people are saying, but opposing teams can scheme around a very good player on the defensive line. If an offense only has to worry about one outstanding player on the DL, they can double team the good player and minimize his impacts. For Tucker to be... -

Alton Meeks
From the start I think Meeks was a project. He was signed as an athlete with the hope he could play linebacker. What little I saw him last year, I thought he looked slow for a linebacker. When he found himself out of position, he did not have the speed to compensate. After watching last... -

Football Philosphy.
When Coach came he said he wanted he wanted to run a spread offense. ISU did not have the players to compete with the power teams. He wanted to use the whole width of the field. He wanted to put his play makers into one on one situations. ISU recruited players for the spread. They have a lot...
