*** Official IOWA STATE vs #13 Oklahoma Game(Day) Thread ***

[VoiceOfReason]

I think this year has kind of made me realize we need to adjust our expectations of Campbell. He's definitely building a very, very solid program, but he's also probably not going to overcome the built-in disadvantages when coaching at ISU like we'd maybe hoped.

A trick playbthat works if we handed the ball off?

His reverse worked in the second possession, as did his wr pass against osu. He's had good luck with trick plays this year... You can't just hate on him and forget the times it's worked.

Lol. That didn't work, unless you are happy with 4 yard gains where there was a high probability of getting picked off.

 

[clonedude]

Why do you bring in Deckers to run a trick play in the first place?

I’m sure OU didn’t suspect something was up at all when they saw Deckers in there.

That play did not work. A 5 yard floater back to the QB that should have been picked off is not exactly a success. Just because it didn’t fail (which it did anyways) doesn’t mean it’s a success. The reverse you men toon was also blown up in the backfield but Hutch broke the tackle. His WR pass against Texas was a great call but that’s the only time I’ve been pleased with him.

 

[Cyclones1969]

Lmao. Stop blaming Manning for Kirk Purdy. The guy always checks down and makes a clown of himself at meaningful part of every big game. It’s a Purdy problem

Wait you’re not watching the game. How would you know any of this?

 

[DSM4Cy]

First half was total encapsulation of the season. Some awesome potential, a number of moments where you go “what is happening”, and more beating ourselves than OU winning. Even if the trick play works, why are you calling that right there?!?

 

[ZuriCyclone]

That's on Purdy. We've got a 4 year starter continuing to do stupid **** and costing us football games.

his interceptions and fumbles have caused this team multiple close loses.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

I'm pissed that my brain went to "at least our basketball team is watchable"

I had that problem last week but it hasn't come to mind yet today

 

[Thomasrickj]

Lincoln Riley and many other smart football people have said Iowa State is the most talented team they’ll play.

And we are staring down the barrel of a 6-5 record after this one. Massive coaching and execution failure this season.

Bingo. This season has been the biggest failure ever for us.

 

[cyclonestunners]

5 yard pickup is a good gain on first down.. We get that every forts down we win. So yes. Success.

 

[NoCreativity]

Not on Purdy. The man needs more help

How is that not his fault? I'm sorry but at some point Seniors who have started almost 50 games here need to take responsibility for stupid plays. He started fumbling before the guy even hit him.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Quit talking to yourself

 

[DSM4Cy]

But would their record since he’s played be anywhere as good as it is with another QB we’ve had on the roster? Not even close. It’s just tough to see that with this OL we’ve reached Brock’s ceiling.

 

[trevn]

Game threads never disappoint on dumb takes.

 

[Cyclones1969]

Anyone else quietly excited to turn the page on the Purdy giveaways next year, but basicslly ashamed to admit it?

Only if they’re really ******* stupid

So I’m sure that there are a lot of people here that feel that way.

Man... You need new expectations or you will always be disappointed. 5 yard gain I'll take all day on early downs.

 

[Lineup]

still the best first half we have played

 

[Inthesystem]

We're only down by 7 at the half. Let’s call it a win.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

He shouldn't have had to run for his life in the first place. O lines fault

 

[NoCreativity]

Manning runs him out to the LEFT, and expects him to throw it away, if it blows up?!

Manning is a moron but ffs some of these older more talented players are directly responsible for some of these losses.
