TCU postgame thread

[Mtowncyclone13]

Why not run some reverses or shovel passes or options or trick plays? Anything? Absolutely no creativity in the play calling

This x 100.

Give us something.

Offense missing. Bottom line.

 

[Cat Stevens]

Quite frankly who cares how good the d was on 3rd down, they held TCU to 17 points. That's a good game for the d in my opinion.

I agree. But there were so so many missed tackles. Gotta clean that up.

It will be interesting to see how well this group hangs together. I think the character is there. Couple tough weeks ahead, get through those and it will look better.

People will still complain though.

Year 3, gonna keep growing

Offense sucks. End of story

 

[spitfyr36]

Yeah, but without the jump ball WR. Butler is tall, but he doesn’t fight and body for balls.

We miss Lazard more than we miss Manning.

Butler is good, but teams are taking him out of the game. Somebody else has to step up

 

[KnappShack]

It’s also a side effect of getting hit in the stones.
He was back out there the next play.

Which is about as tough as it comes....

If you love the process.... If you live the process, eventually.... Eventually the process will love you back!

Every week......exactly, to the exact number, half of the football coaches lose and half win. It is exactly 50% to 50%. Do they all have a process to trust?....something has to give.

Scott Frost has a process too.

 

[Cdiedrick]

at least we covered the spread

I thought the same initially but that’s a moral victory and yeah, no more.

 

[Cycsk]

Vomitting is a side effect of concussions. Doubt we see JGJ for at least 2 weeks.

That would be terrible for the offense.

Does the process include regressing?

Fine, but at the end of the game there, I'd rather take my chances on a 50 yd fly pattern with Butler triple covered than I would with a 5 yd crossing route that takes 8 secs off the clock and basically does nothing for you in that situation.

Had we thrown a 50 yd jump ball in that situation to Butler or Eaton and it gets picked off, so be it. I'd at least give us credit for actually trying to win the game. What we were doing gave us absolutely ZERO chance at winning the game, or tying it. We didn't have time to dink and dunk down the field.

Do we have anyone besides Butler to go to downfield? The staff or QBs don’t seem to think so.

 

[CloneLawman]

Is this what being a Hawkeye basketball fan feels like?

No. Their defense sucks.

 

[KCClone1]

On the bright side, KU lost, KState lost, Nebraska lost and Iowa didn’t win

 

[dirtyninety]

In Process We Trust.
I pledge allegiance to the Process of the Iowa State University of Iowa
and to the Athletic Department for which it stands

Do the coaches tell Purdy he has a week to get ready to start next week.

We had zero chance either way at that point.
Focus on what really cost us the game.

At some point you just have to find a way to win. These kind of games are there for the taking. We’re further away than I thought.

 

[Cdiedrick]

I think Julian Good-Jones said it best....

He is bad ass, sat out for a play and came back

 

[awd4cy]

As much as I complain about the offense being 2003 bad, I better post about the defense. They are the best unit I think I’ve ever seen during my Iowa State fandom. I love watching them. Extremely well coached bunch and talented. Gotta give major props to Heacock and all the position coaches on defense.
