I love Brock but there have been times in the last 3 weeks specifically where he isn't aware of the situation or is unwilling to take a hit to try to get the first down.

Yep, all the Florida NFL players did it last year against OU in a much bigger bowl… and no one batted an eye that they lost.
Our defensive coaches still struggle with the idea that we have to press the issue on the road starting with the first play. We continue to allow the QB to get some confidence, by making easy throws, and its bites us in the ass. We did it at Baylor, at WV and again today.
We continue to play our basic defense on the road, thinking that we will be fine, but how many points have we given up in the 1st half on the road this year?
This lose is all on the defense, its that simple, and we do not have the excuse that Rose was not playing today. We got every break in the game from the refs, meaning every call went our way and still lost because we were content to go into OT to win the game. Funny how that works, TT was playing to win in regulation, and pressed the issue, and when it was said and done, they desired to win the game.

The game was ugly and they didn't deserve to win but the most disappointing thing to me is Purdy's game awareness at the end. He should've never ran out of bounds on the last 3rd down play. Once he got to the corner and realized he wasn't going to out run that guy and get the 1st down he should've gone down in bounds. Tech had no TOs and they could've ran the clock down under 30 seconds. The extra couple of yards he got meant nothing, keeping the clock running was more important.
I give the kid credit, he's always trying to make a play but sometimes you just have to play smart football.

that is just a ridiculous statement. The culture that Campbell has created (and what everyone celebrates after big wins) is why these guys stayed. Nobody on that team is cashing it in.
some fans may need to though…
He was very succinct vs. OSU but since has gone back to some weirdness.
I’m so sick of ISU coaches playing not to lose. Campbell, Rhoads, and the master of it, McCarney.
As others have said - he does not like to get hit. Or maybe he's told to avoid contact at all costs?
And now they can realize that the culture that was created is guiding us to a failing 7-5 season, and they may dial it in now.
you know what, I’m not mad…I was mad after Iowa, but they are what they are now, Iowa state deserved to lose this.,,they were outplayed and severely outcoached all day
you just can’t keep doing the same thing over and over and then be mad about it
they really struggle to start games, and they take way too much time getting things fixed, that’s just what they do, nobody is going to be suprised by a new wrinkle
we play extraordinarily conservative especially offensively, and we rely on the defense to do everything and win on the last drive every game
if you play close games against everyone, even inferior teams like tech and wv, and you don’t respect them, they can bite you
and that’s what is happening.
every time someone posts a way for us to get to the ccg Manning draws up another run up the middle.
just stop it!
7-5 ISU in the liberty bowl..
The biggest disappointment in the history of ISU football considering expectations in August.
However after UNI and Iowa.. I knew this was possible. Our offensive line and pass coverage is 6-6 quality at best
I hope Campbell makes some changes like he did with Andrews after 2019's disappointment. New line coach minimum

Could he have found a short pass there? Once he got out of the pocket he looked bound and determined to run and there really wasn't that much room.
Hopefully Dekkers can prove to not make the rookie mistakes Brock is still making
As a fan I refuse to watch them all end their careers in an ice storm in Memphis against Air Force anyways. Seneca Wallace getting the team to #7 then getting destroyed on thst pathetic blue field was bad enough, this will be far worse.
New line coach? How about a new QB or WR coach? Our OLine has stood up. Brock holding on to the ball for far too long is a different story....
