If this were true we would have lost this game a lot worse than we did.
Why is our passing game hot garbage?

We should have. Our defense was lights out.... and if Breece doesn't break two really great runs we get our doors blown off.
Louisiana had 3 big plays against us basically and that was it. Today we broke two great runs and that was basically all we did offensively. Two lapses on defense by OSU.
Feast or famine with a 3TE set. When Hall is on the field the only WR is Hutchinson in that formation. Would like to see a breakdown of plays and # of plays with 3TE.
Clones literally used the same play sheet from Tech game. It wasn’t working and Campbell didn’t adjust. At some point against aggressive man defense you have to make them pay.

I mean they are good now. We have a great running game now. My point was they are young so it's likely it will continue to be good in the future. We haven't had a reliable running game like this in a long time.
Gotta love the blasting of Purdy. Kid had a freshman year that by other people accounts, he was the second coming of TD Jesus. But we have an OC wo is trying to mold everyone into his style, as opposed to building an offense around what you have. Purdy is a very good mobile QB, he's not a drop back passer, that's what our OC is trying to make him though. Look back at all of BP's best games, they weren't pocket passing games.
Our passing game is far from hot garbage. Oklahoma State's passing defense is very good.
Prior to this game Purdy and the passing offense rolled off three consecutive excellent games.

Agree for the most part. Nothing wrong trying to coach him to be a pocket QB, but he should be more mobile then he has been this year so far and last year. Additionally, I feel that Purdy doesn’t have the same swagger as he did his freshmen year.
Definitely not all of them, though. He was pretty rough vertically even when not pressured... it just wasn't his best day. That alone isn't the end of the world, but his supporting cast caused him plenty of other issues as well.
This. Our offense was bad today simply because OSU's defense was dominant. Give credit where credit is due.
Lights out? They gave up a couple of like 4 play 70 yard scoring drives.
I mean they played well enough to win and put the offense in position, but holy cow OSU scored quickly when ISU needed to slow them down.
That 2017 WR core may have been the best we've seen or will see. Multiple players for the back shoulder throw, and a couple that could house a bubble screen.
If we didn’t play in a conference and teams that is/are historically ******, we would be 1-4.
I think with so many times of having defenders flying at him he was still uncomfortable when given time.
If we didn’t play any games we’d be 0-0.
Not good against man to man defense. Offensive schemes seem setup for zone defenses. Need to work on rubs and picks to get receivers open.

Kansas is a W next week. I also think we should and emphasize should beat Baylor and WVA and K-state. I'm not going to overreact over this one and get down much. I have a few thoughts:
- The 3 TE set: I am starting to have a hate/hate relationship with this formation. Pro's- it opens up our run game, helps with blocking. Cons - would we be better served speed wise going 4 WR out on long pass situations? I'm confiden we would, as Wilson, Scates, and Hutchinson have proven they have speed. Having Soehner and Allen plod down the field on 2nd and 3rd and long makes me want to get sick, they're not the best at getting open. Players, formations, plays. The 3 TE set handcuffs our speed and downfield threat, it just does.
- WR Room: all jobs outside of Hutchinson should be open try outs for playing time in the next two weeks. Outside of Hutchinson there has been zero juice from this position group. I understand we need Milton back but come on, let's try more Scates / Daniel Jackson / Wilson. Shaw looks like he has no edge out there, same with Akers. Can Darien Porter catch? I want to see more creativity against Kansas
Also, q for others on the board. Should we go get a juco WR or two? I think that's a serious need at this point.
10 times out of 10 you would take holding OSU to scoring only 24 pts on you. You just can't expect much more than that out of any defense in the country against their offense. Sanders is really really good..... and fast!
If we played them 10 times, we probably never hold them under 24.
The offense and special teams lost the game..... period. Mostly the offense though. The OL was as bad as it could be..... and Manning isn't bright enough to scheme around that evidentally. And how is it that our WRs and TEs can never get open either?? That's been an issue all year.
