It's in the book! You know, the binder. Every player and coach should know it. :D
Probably the same book with the NCAA gambling rules as well. Based on current events, I’m guessing they just can’t find it

Seems like hurry up is still utilized by teams with good offenses and experienced QB’s. Don’t know why TCU is doing it, but I can understand OU. Maximize the number of snaps so your offense has more opportunities.
It also gives the other team's offense more opportunities and can have your defense on the field a lot. I think the theory is to keep the defense from substituting and to hit them with the next play while they're still thinking about what happened on the last time. There's a risk the offense may not be fully committed to the next play either and it definitely leads to more mistakes. Done occasionally, it can help capitalize on momentum.

We had a nice win in a game with a great atmosphere last night and some are still complaining. For the record, on the prediction thread, I predicted an ISU win by 10 to 19 points. I think some on here are becoming Hawk fans with red shirts. What do you want for nuthin'? Rubber Biscuit?

You don’t think it was highlighted this year?!?!
Well yeah, Mr. picky! Of course "it" (the gambling thing) got highlighted! Highlighted, lectured, tested, etc.

The school song, don't know, but it will be next year for sure. Actually the players knew it pretty well. Cool to see.

Maximize the number of snaps so your offense has more opportunities. But it requires the ability of your offense to make decisions without the coaches spoon feeding it. This is what ISU has always lacked.

I thought we looked pretty good the times we ran back to back plays, it seemed to catch TCU off guard.

And I think we've got a QB now, who can run tempo at times. Our other players and younger players will continue to learn.

I say keep using it selectivly, let the team use it on the fly. It does keep the other team guessing which is one of the things we've all been asking for.
