Defense playing undisciplined, especially at linebacker, and can't tackle, our only offense seems to be Hutch. Definitely going to be a struggle when we step up competition.
*** Official SEMO vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
ISU will get a punt blocked today, if the punter can't get the ball away Quicker!
We haven't tried. I mean we haven't been averaging 10 yards a pop but what, 6-8 attempts?
Reasons besides Dekkers I think the start is better than in the past
- young kickers look good other than the punter understanding to kick the ball faster.
- offense looks more dynamic but we need to try to run the ball
- defense looks slow but we did lose 2/3 LB's, 2/3 D-line and some shuffling in the secondary.
Let's hope that they are much improved because they had a hard time scoring on D3 teams last season. I think that they didn't get even a first down against Mizzou until it was 45-0 and the waterboy was playing Linebacker....
I like not running the ball today. It’s a good day to get Dekkers in the passing flow.
Cylones have to hold a record for points given up in the last 2 minutes of first half. ******* unbelievable
I think that Mizzou also ran for more than 60 yards just on the first drive.... but we do always suck in week 1.
Not over yet and if ISU gets timid this will look familiar. I like ISU getting out on offense though.
Maybe, but ISU will have to take some time off the clock some time TODAY. Reason we did not see the run to end the first half.
Usually they improve in the second half, lets see what happens. they seem very slow
And this, in part, is why we should play the fluffiest team we can find in week 1 every year! We want to be learning/adjusting against a team where 3-4 bad mistakes won't cost us the game.
Yeah, it honestly does feel like Campbell's mentality has shifted and they're using this more like a tune-up game than trying the gameplan they'll likely be using later down the road.
At this point, a final score of 42-10 or better will make me feel fine. If we can’t match or improve on the offensive production from the first half with SEMO getting worn down, and if the D can’t do the typical Heacock improvements…eek.
I'd like to see us ride Norton this half. He's been the best back, in a half with limited rushing attempts.
I’d say giving up 246 yards in a half to SEMO is…bad.
