If I were the head coach, I would call time out as soon as I saw a shotgun. If I had no time outs I would scream at the ref I have an injured player.
But the head coach is not responsible clearly........
That 4th down call should be the nail for Manning

Stop with the players need to execute excuses. Who is responsible for the players to execute? Who coaches them to execute when needed?
Lol that team without sanders was so far from impressive.
If your o-line is bad you can't run a 4th and a foot with the ball starting out 6 yds behind the line of scrimmage. That's garbage coaching.
Oh Iowa is bowl eligible too when we finally beat them this year. Let that sink in!!!!!!
Outside of X I’m not sure who is a big 12 level player on the offense.
The game was pretty well lost when Shaw fumbled in the red zone as we were going in to take a two-score lead. Shaw still has not learned his lesson-he was carrying it loose again on a later completion but managed to hold onto it. That’s just really poor fundamentals from someone who has played a lot of football.
And why...does poor fundamental and mental mistakes plague every player in our offense?
Could have I didn’t pay as much attention to him after I noticed the right side getting tossed around.
I don’t care about bad play calling. I don’t care about dropped passes. I don’t care about careless QB play. All I care about is an OL that could be discussed as good. It is the magic formula for us and we have been bad since forever.
How about you just play to your strengths and adjust your offense how the defense is set up. Instead of forcing a scripted play book.
I don't disagree that Manning is a mediocre OC, but the problems were not just on the OC today. 5 turnovers and bad drops and false starts aren't Manning's fault.
A lot of things Manning does are also done by many other OCs every week across the country. But we don't/can't execute. That won't magically change by changing the staff.

Players need to make the plays but this isn't the first time that ISU has had a trend of being poor fundamentally the last several years.
After the Offensive Line (obviously), and the Tight Ends, the Receivers are the next worst group on this squad. X is great but the rest of them are a hot mess.
