Xbox controller sitting next to me, but I'm ready for our traditional 4th quarter flurry of futility.

 

[Doc]

What up my boys?! When does the game start?! Pretty pumped for this one!

Purdy terrible day for Purdy.

I hate you both.

Now they are because this team has quit. Those two turnovers killed this game right out of the gate. We moved the ball on them and stopped them right away but just shot ourselves in the foot. Notre Dame is better for sure, but this is not like if we were playing Ohio State or Clemson this year. They are just confident and rolling now.

Didn't say they are Ohio State or Clemson good. However, they are definitely bigger, faster and a notch above ISU. ND also had something to do with the turnovers, specifically the strip. They (ND) have played well, especially getting the ball to Claypool in big situations. No excuses from me. Cyclones had a great opportunity but are just not up for the task today.

Purdy looks like he just wants to go home.

As he did at Kansas State game.

Campbell has had 4 years. Still no special teams, no OL, and bad play calling. He is either stubborn or stupid. His good points are recruiting and DC.

Milton’s return instincts don’t seem to be great. Fair catches the best return opportunities quite often

I think our coaching staff has mentally ruined all of the returners.

Bad season. It’s not all on the OC. This team has no fight. They don’t have spirit. They need a leader with a little swagger.

The false start on the 3 yd line was on Manning too I'm afraid. Why were we running down the field and trying to go jet tempo on that play? That's what caused it. Just trying to be cute for no reason once again.

Who was the person at Bleacher Report that picked ISU a #12 preseason for next year? What a joke

If anyone picks ISU anywhere top #25 next year they should be roundly ridiculed.

 

[Dandy]

I wonder if it’s the coaches telling them return or fair catch every time. Idk if these guys get a choice

CMC seems like a micromanager.

 

[motorcy90]

wow even the commentators agreed that should be a catch surprise the refs keep it incomplete....

 

[Doc]

Lol okay. Why do we even pay replay refs

 

[Rabbuk]

CMC seems like a micromanager.

That killed rhoads

 

[LindenCy]

Screwed on replay...familiar.

 

[cstrunk]

Shafted by the replay officials... DRINK

 

[alarson]

Refs are far from the reason we are losing but woof they aren't great today

so what’s the solution. It sure seems like you think we should move on from him.

Run up the middle and get stuffed

 

[cyclones12321]

This made me chuckle. Dude...they are LOTS better. Better get your eyes checked.

Disagree. Mistakes early changed this whole game. Take away those two ****** fumbles and this game is completely different. Momentum was killed by first two opportunities on offense/special teams. Not one to call out officiating but hasn’t really gone our way either

 

[Darius Bieber]

Run up the middle and get stuffed

Even worse

 

[ianoconnor]

wow even the commentators agreed that should be a catch surprise the refs keep it incomplete....

At this point I think they just feel bad for us and are looking for ways to give complements.
