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

[ZuriCyclone]

All things considered should feel OK down 6.

Offense has been pretty unimpressive.

They are always down a score , then have a one score loss.

The patented close lose by CMC teams over the last 5 years.

 

[Dowwmeow]

Just watching Max Duggan against OU. Ok, just when I didn’t think I could feel worse

 

[Thomasrickj]

Someone please tell me kohl is enrolling early so he gets here for spring ball

Except Manning will not take advantage of Kohl’s arm and talent and just have him throw two yard passes instead.

Everyone looking around to see who is the worse team in the B12 is... Gulp.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

ISU is going to ruin OSU season again this year

 

[83cy]

We're in year 2 of losing regularly in the margins. We had to get everything to go our way to have the success we did from 2017-2020 but now we're seeing the other side of that. Better talent on the roster, more experience which should lead to better schemes, but we're getting the same or worse results.

IDK ISU is consistently ranked 6-7 or 8 in the big 12 recruiting rankings.

Us or WV, honestly.

 

[atlantacyclone]

Let’s hope our D can produce another second half shutout. They need to do that for us to have a chance….

 

[CYEATHAWK]

Yes it's bad. 2 of those 3 sacks were on Dekkers though

Yeah, spoiled by Purdy. Pump fakes, dancing around. Sometimes to his detriment.

Dekkers isn't going to win by being flashy. But he does need to come off his initial read more often if he is going to be just a drop back passer. Too easy to defend. And also learn how to throw it away.

It would help if the pass protection held up for more than 2 seconds.

 

[Rabbuk]

Yeah who the hell is coaching that line...

But isn’t being “close” almost as good as a win? Oh wait…this isn’t horseshoes

 

[StPaulCyclone]

Yeah, Baylor isn’t looking very good at home, yet they looked unbeatable against us last week. I think we really need to reevaluate our expectations this year.

Definitely time to remind ourselves that the is a rebuilding year

 

[Darius Bieber]

Negative yards rushing. Ouch.

 

[jbhtexas]

Yeah who the hell is coaching that line...

A graduate student who doesn't have any previous coaching experience prior to getting the ISU job. It shows...

 

[Thomasrickj]

It would help if the pass protection held up for more than 2 seconds.

Most of the time Dekkers doesn’t even look down the field. He immediately turns his body to the side and throws a two yard pass.

 

[Gerbs]

It would help if the pass protection held up for more than 2 seconds.

Every qb gets pressure. Difference with us is we have a qb who seemingly never sees the pressure and can’t move to extend plays.

 

[bosco]

Everyone bashing Purdy the last 4 years owes him an apology.

 

[Cloneon]

Wow! Just a few 'ignores' and this thread becomes a whole lot more civilized.

 

[CyVolk]

in watching the other Big 12 games, it appears the secret sauce is to have a dominant offensive line OR a mobile QB. If you have both, you are virtually unstoppable.
