I think it was right before the OU game with the Heisman hype. And then the wheels came off.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who despises those types of stats that are simply filtered to get eye opening result.
Who cares what the stats say…. this year was a big failure in terms of expectations…. that’s not even debatable.
And despite some of our offensive stats…. our offense was absolutely inept way too often this season.
Go ahead and rip away, but this team underperformed big time.
Want some good, positive news? This year’s team is going to surpass expectations and finish with a better record than last year’s team.

Who cares what the stats say? How about who cares what you say.
Was our offense outstanding? No, but it ranked 18th in the nation in average yards per play. That's not "absolutely inept". Good Lord, get a grip.
2005 disappointed. Lot of senior talent on that squad and a favorable schedule. Lost three in overtime & a head scratcher to Baylor.
What about the 80 or 81 seasons? Didn’t we win some big games and achieve lofty rankings only to fall flat again?
Perhaps the problem was with our “expectations” then, rather than the team being “underachieving”.
To be both fair and honest, none of us really knew going in just how beaten up the offensive line actually was. Or that Mike Rose was going to get hurt down the stretch.
Yeahhhhhh……. our offense ranked 18th in avg yds per play!!!! Do we win some kind of award for that??
Had I posted before last season started that I predicted 7 wins….. I would have been destroyed on here for being so negative.
But now we’re supposed to be thrilled with that?? I give up.
I guess to be a “true fan”…. you have to be happy with however ISU does no matter what and never be critical, huh? Am I doing it right now?
It’s like you beg for the “Dumb” emojis.
You do 2+2=10,487 an awful lot, don’t you?
To clarify my statement, it’s a fundamental truth of football that teams are built around their OL. Just like “defense wins championships”. Well, you can’t get to the championship in the first place with a crippled OL.
Agree, it's a moral victory stat. Not sure why anyone would post it.
You are correct. Michigan gets added in this context.
Nobody said you have to be happy pal. But giving context I think is helpful for the big picture. You can believe what you’d like.
That Iowa State was top 25 in the country in both offense and defense in a stat and only Alabama, Georgia and Michigan also were. Yes I think that’s good company. Clearly this doesn’t take into account special teams and turnovers and field position, all areas Iowa State was average or worse. But I think it’s notable still.
Nobody said it was a victory or a loss. You’re not supposed to be thrilled or happy about it. It’s simply a curious little fact. And was posted as such, no value added.
Not sure how someone doesn’t get that. You or Clonedude.
