There are areas where he can and will improve. It's one loss, aided by a questionable game plan and play calling.
As it always is with a loss.

As it always is with a loss.
I think we are getting to the point where we kind of who we are. A team that stars really slow, tries to grind out wins in the 4th quarter. Just a really inconsistent offense that really lacks identity.
We do some things well, but those two things I don’t see changing much. It’s just who this team is for whatever reason.

I understand the criticism of the coaching staff and play calling. I am not going to quickly make the mistake many of us had, regarding this coaching staff up until the first part of last year.
We are in good hands. Did any of us really think we were going to go undefeated this year?

We really are just a borderline top 25 team that can compete in the Big 12. It's feeling more and more like the Big 12 is a G5 type conference.
I expected to beat an average TTU team with a bad defense at home. I should know better...
I'm pinballing among anger, bargaining, denial and depression.
I think I'll take a couple days off from CF FB. Don't usually like the quick negativity turnabout.
We are having a very good season. Still some very important games upcoming. That we have a chance to win.
This crew still has a lot to play for. I’m here for wherever the go. Forgive the cross sport analogy, but feel similar to this years ISU fb team as the Royals 2024 season.
A lot of fun. Solid core, punching above their weight, but likely not enough dudes to do the whole thing.
It does feel like, the more I think about it, this is what it is. Good, but not great team that has to find a way to win late. By definition you are only going to win half those really. We just aren’t good enough to put teams away.
I made this same comparison to myself earlier. But that type of team makes it incredibly frustrating because a) you’ve seen what they can be, b) they’ve given you enough hope to think they’re better than they really are, and c) have played themselves into a position to do something really special and instead are probably going to blow it
In reality, ISU might not be that great of a team, but blowing a chance to go 8-0 against a Tech team that’s just not that good is embarassing. Much like when the Royals tied Cleveland for the division lead and then lost 7 straight
And if anyone is wondering, being a Royals and Iowa State fan is a lifetime of pain

The Big 12 title is still there for the taking. This loss only made our margin of error zero. Win out and still in the title game.
I wish I had your optimism. The last two games have been an absolute ****show on how to play football. We are only showing other teams how to beat us unless we change things up. We’ll finish 9-3 imo.
Make this simple.
We need to go 4-0.
Then I think we are going to need to be rooting for all teams playing Colorado.
That puts us in 2nd and one game to make the playoffs as a 4 seed
That being said….My issue is I think we are going to go 2-2.
People are giving us fits on offense

The frustrating thing for me is that we COULD be good enough to put teams away. Better play calling and scheming on offense and we are a great team. I don't understand what Campbell is thinking, going conservative and having such a predictable offense. Watch some other teams and what they do and put some of those plays in our playbook. Not that hard to figure out.
offense looked like sh*t against the worst pass defense in the country. I think November is going to get very ugly for us.
Not the end of the world. We’ll win a coulee more, but probably lose a couple more too. Season will be a victory if we can beat Utah.
So we’ve gone from “I don’t see any losses and we’re going undefeated!” to “going to be hard to win anymore games”
I love this fan base. We could have easily been 5-2 coming into today. Iowa and UCF probably should have been losses. Point is, we play clean football, we are tough to beat. Last two games we’ve turned the ball over and all of a sudden penalties today were really bad.
Back to the margins. Let’s see how they respond.
