*** Official #23 IOWA STATE VS Kansas State Game(Day) Thread ***

JP is going to have to wheel and deal is ass off to avoid going to the worst bowl the Big 12 has.

Why do you think that? We have 4th place in the Big 12 locked up and we travel well.

Defense did everything they need to, TWO take aways, a tom manning prepared offense **** the bed.

Bad pursuit in crucial situations is not the defense doing what's needed.

They were bad last week, and were not good tonight.

 

[SpringCreekCY]

Can't wait for the articles this week.

Yeah they lost again, bUt LoOk At tHE StAtS PuRdY iS PuTtInG uP.

EXACTLY!

 

[jctisu]

The defense gave up 20 points against a good Big 12 team. This loss is all on the offense and special teams.

Doesn't excuse terrible fundamentals like assignment football and tackling. If it wasn't for a few wide open drops by them, this wouldn't be that close.

Headline: KSU runs the ball 95 out of 96 plays. ISU doesn't catch on, loses.

Don’t understand why we play so well in October and so poor in late November

Because they don't change anything. All our plans are on display in Oct. Other teams are gaming us and we don't add anything new. It has been the same each year. Not an accident.

I would have burned a TO there. You are going to be in a two score game. You need every second you can get.

You think this offense is going to score, hahahaha

Anybody else feel like if Campbell would have a reaalllly bad time if he went to a big fish like Florida State or any other big fish. His main strengths are with recruiting and creating a culture and getting players to buy in, but...

In every season he has been here there have at least 4-5 games where the team executes everything horribly and completely plays like ****. Even if he had the talent if this year's Ohio State's, I don't think he could win more then 9 games. At the end of the day, he is just not a very good gameday coach.

Campbell and staff are the best thing that has ever happened to us in football. Seriously stfu

Not over yet have the faith

I appreciate fans like you and hope you are right, but I have been burned way too many times dating back to 86.

 

[atlantacyclone]

200 yards of O, not good D and special teams gives up a TD. It was a complete loss. Come on guys let’s have some pride and come back!

 

[jctisu]

Bad pursuit in crucial situations is not the defense doing what's needed.

Yep. It's not just a look at the points given up thing. They have been burned on the edge all night long.

 

[bosco]

KSU staff had their team ready to play from the start, knew what they wanted to do against our defense and offense. The players executed, and they stuck to the game plan through adversity. I'm impressed.

 

[CYCLNST8]

We are about to pull a statistical rarity in football. Win the turnover margin by 2 or more and still lose. Do you realize how often that happens? Hint, not very, especially when you yourself do not turn it over at all. Only Iowa State can create these ways to lose football games.

We could still lose the turnover battle, technically. Don’t sell us short.

 

[dualthreat]

Man winning in the bi g 12 is tough. Hopefully Campbell sticks around and doesn't go running. Not sure what his ceiling is here

 

[CycloneVet]

IF you keep Tom manning , expect another season of this

A bowl game and being in every single game sign me up dumb ****

 

[HouClone]

Wind died down? The guy just kicked it into the end zone.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

Biggest lose of the season is to Kstate, what an embarrassment by Tom Manning coached offense

 

[CyGuy5]

2 turnovers and 3 points. Tom Manning is to blame for this one, not to mention the complete lack of adjustments on both sides of the ball

 

[HFCS]

Headline: KSU runs the ball 95 out of 96 plays. ISU doesn't catch on, loses.

Isn't that every ksu game if the past decade?

 

[Cyclone06]

Who else is pumped for a 45 degree game in Memphis?! Booyah
