*** Official IOWA STATE vs Kansas Game(Day) Thread ***

[Cyclonepride]

Not sure the thought process behind having most of our defense on the short side of the field.

Offense needs to get in gear, now

 

[isucyfan]

I think it's time to go shirts and skins, call your own fouls.

These refs can go home and think about the direction of their lives.

 

[blutarsky]

Daniels is a game wrecker.

 

[NWICY]

Well time to see if the offense can get going

 

[dirtyninety]

Since we are only going to get 4 or 5 wins this season.....I really wish this would have been one of them....I strongly dislike KU partians.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

It's the same QB that they had last year. No doubt he is better, but let's not turn him into an all pro here.

They are up 14 on ISU.

 

[CYedUp]

Dekkers looks like he's wearing 10 lb weights on his feet compared to Daniels

 

[mynameisjonas]

if we don’t get 7 here, It’s game.

 

[Inthesystem]

OK now time to panic?

 

[cygrads]

I hate to say it but I don't think we can score14 points this game and we certainly aren't holding them scoreless the rest of the game.

Separation is happening, Dekkers is just locked into his main WR and can’t adjust when pressure comes.

this - Dekkers essentially only looks for X or Noel - which is understandable in the sense that they are our best receivers but while Stanley got a couple catches, he very rarely comes off his read where X or Noel are concerned which slows down the timing and allows for pass rush and coverage because when you come off late on a read essentially as a QB you only have bad options when throwing the ball late.

Nor does he do a great job right now of recognizing blitz looks and holds onto the ball. That comes with experience but this is week 5 so you'd think he'd have seen a decent amount. Also, my word does he look slow when he tries to run. He seemed faster in the past so unless he's dinged up I'm really confused on how losing weight makes you run slower. I feel like its generally the other way...

Overall we look slow and not physical along both LOS. Good to see Remsburg get into the game finally .

Our offense is beyond bland and vanilla and predictable but that's not just on Manning. Campbell as the HC obviously signs off on the game plan. So its not like he's not aware. I mean if he really disliked the game plan and play calling there's an easy fix.

Our LB's are really slow to the eye. We have zero pass rush most of the time. Our corners I like but they don't seem to have any kind of ability to find the ball in the air on deep passes.

We don't look great. Kansas gets the ball back to start the second obviously.

It's early - we';re young but there are very worrying signs right now.

 

[StPaulCyclone]

We need to stop them. Manning is not doing a great job so far…

OLone not playing well, Dekkers not seeing the field well and Brock is hurt. Manning is going to have to get creative, good luck to him…

 

[atlantacyclone]

14 points is expected from KU, what isn’t expected is our terrible offense. This looks really bad. Come on guys! Have some pride!

 

[Darius Bieber]

if we don’t get 7 here, It’s game.

It’s been game. There’s no life on this Iowa State team.

 

[Thomasrickj]

We are in the Big 12. Every team has a high flying offense(except us)

Yeah, with Dekkers we aren’t going to score. He is too slow in the pocket and doesn’t look down the field.

 

[Kaner04]

Kansas is like way better than us

 

[cyatheart]

Can this offense score 14 points right now?

 

[CoKane]

Ku will not win another game. Incredibly uninspired. Hit the road early.

After seeing what you've seen so far you came to the conclusion that KANSAS is the one who isn't winning again?

 

[Pope]

Welp. Our offense better show some life here.

 

[CYDJ]

OK, Now I'm worried. We need tl llay a flswless game from here on out to win this. I placle that as a 3% likelihood with the way we've come out today. Dang.
