We did once in the first half, almost had a heart attack.

I agree 100%. Also 100% certain (almost) that will not happen with CMC . It will be his ultimate downfall here. For reference see Scott Frost/Nebraska
Then we don't kick any more. I'm not putting the loss on the kicker. The blame for the loss is 100% with the offensive coaches. But if your job is to kick and you can't kick, then what is your value to the team?
It's also Dekkers assignment not to throw it to opponents.
Or the offensive line assignment to not have false starts every time in the red zone.
Stuff happens. It's not like a kicker has 4 downs or multiple possessions to get it right. It's a one and done.......hero or goat.
And it's up to the coach to know when it's time to say no. I think after two doinks.......it was time.
No one here was going to question going for it. If coach wants to build up the kickers confidence.....wait until next game.
This game was shot.
Trust me, you didn’t miss anything (heartache doesn’t count)
There were several times when I got caught feeling like 'OK, defense is digging in, offense is starting to get a bit of a push. One play at a time and get to the end zone.'
But then it just turned into a **** show about any time there was a first down.
If Dekkers had a 25% completion rate, I'd say we need a change there as well. Interceptions can be the fault of the receiver, the offensive line may not protect well enough, or the offensive coordinator may have a poor scheme. Unless protection breaks down or the hold is bad, the kicker controls his destiny.
I'm not mad just disappointed.
This program and offense are trending down to the bottom 1/3 of the league.

Heard a stat on games decided by 7 or less, CMX was not good.
I feel like I’ve watched the same Iowa State game 1,000 times. At this point I’m just numb to the pain.
I don’t know if I would personally go THAT far, but last year was an eye opener for me. Look at all the talent on that team. Several players now on NFL rosters and practice squads. Won 7 games…including a bowl game appearance. Should have been a 10 win team minimum, probably more. Not trying to dump on this coaching staff, but they’ve underperformed.
Exactly. And his destiny was swirling down the toilet today after two doinks. Had this been in the third quarter......okay, fine.
But for the game? And not to win.....but only tie.
You play to win on the road. That has been the "margin" for years in the coaching ranks.
So call me nuts but I think CMC should have nutted up and gone for it. I wouldn't have been mad if it failed.
It’s an excuse, but it would be nice if we didn’t lose a starter on one of the first plays of the game next week.
I go all the way back to the Johnny Majors teams and feel the same way. Welcome to the club
