Agree, doubt we'll be in these sweepstakes.
But as far as the portal goes, I'd love see us in on FSU kicker Parker Grothaus. Could be our next Mevis.
SIAP, but is Mevis not eligible to take another year because of Covid?

Vance is returning. I can confirm.
How hard is it to understand Mevis has no eligibility left?
Not trying to be rude but it's been discussed at nauseum.
Updated.
Loved what I saw from Jirehl, Jaylin Noel and all the young safeties yesterday.
Need our line to figure it out

If Vance is back we need to use him more in blitzing scenarios.
Remember the year (maybe it was 2019?) where he started the year with 6 sacks in the first 6 games or something? He clearly has a knack for that.. He seemed to have a lot of injuries this year or was just not himself. The kid can play.
Yes, the OL has to finally show growth. It's been 6 years of middling. IMO Coach Meyers is out over his ski's at this level. Recruiting talent for the group has gotten better but on field production hasn't.
While it has certainly felt like OL has been manhandled a few games - we had statistically the best RB in the nation and were somewhere around the top 25 for sacks allowed. What metric do you use to measure OL success or simply eye test?
I would look at ability to convert 3rd and 1 with a run.
I'd say ISU also had great RB with Montgomery too and it's continued with Hall because of their talent. Purdy has been great at avoiding sacks as well. Too often there's a lack of push on runs and we can look at game in which Iowa State has faced good defenses that the offensive line is often overmatched.
A simple metric, but yes, let's start with this
Followed up by redzone false starts.
I’m waiting for Howard Brown to run some QB on 3rd and short and 4th and short! But from underneath center not back 5 yards! I never understood why you hike it in shotgun when you need a yard or less!
It wasn't as bad as some thought imo.
It would go a long ways to get better play from the QB and coaching from the OC. Purdy often made it harder on himself and the OL than needed, and Manning has little ability to help the OL. For example, that 3rd and 1 on the first series against Clemson was a handoff to Brock 20 seconds in the making, pulling our guard and having the new freshman OT pickup the Clemson DL. That is on the OC.
Of course, if Kolar's route was not one yard short of the first, we're not even in that spot. That is on the offensive staff too. Purdy acting like a freshmen on the turnovers...just bad details on offense nearly every game
Y’all ever stop to think that Tom Manning uses a limited playbook because he knows how inconsistent the line is?
or that Purdy sees ghosts because he’s running for his life every play?

Couple of thoughts/opinions.
Hasert will not be 2nd team guard, and Tyler Miller starts over the JUCO tackle.
Isaiah Lee also starts at DT and Deyo ends up as an interior OL.

Not sure about your first statement, but I think your 2nd about Purdy is certainly true. If not ghosts, it at least forced him into playing a type of hero ball that wasn't ideal.
