Tre Spivey of KSU is visiting Thursday? Has that been covered?
Wasn’t he hurt much of the season??I didn’t really feel like we got a whole lot from Snyder this year. Very Latrell Bankston-like where expectations were higher than the actual results
When the turds get flushed...fresh water refills the tank...(the portal giveth...the portal taketh away.)Good god, how does a program recover from all that turnover each and every year?
He didn't get a chance to play. Sure he got to practice but with Rocco winning games, he would have had to look amazing and way better as Campbell not going to bench a healthy QB. There is no reason to believe JJ would be worse than Rocco if he started this year. He could be just as goodHe didn't get a chance? That's what practices and scrimmages are for. I wish JJ nothing but the best, but myself, I can't imagine he did not have every chance to excel.
AgreeThe curse of the Iowa State four star. Look back at our recruiting classes and nearly every four star Iowa State landed doesn't amount to anything. Kohl, Gaines, Deyo, Imming, Dekkers, Pedersen. Verdict is still out on Moore and Neal.
Someone else said it but there's probably a reason when Iowa State lands a four star.....
Both, i thinkI would like to know details of LB injuries. There were so many. Upper body or lower body? Occurring in practices, scrimmages, or games? Occurring in defense or in special teams? If you watch old ISU film from the 90's - there were alot bigger shoulder pads used on LBs and more knee braces on linemen. Are game pads the same as practice pads? How many practices are actually full-contact? Where are surgeries performed? Does conditioning or technique reduce injury occurrences?
I think it’s more about the players than our scheme.
Xavier Townsend is visiting also! And Javon Tracy from Miami OH. His brother is a former Hawkeye who is currently a running back for the NY Giants. We offered Tracy's teammate, CB Raion Strader today too. He has 29 passes defended over the last 2 seasons. That is insane.Tre Spivey of KSU is visiting Thursday? Has that been covered?
That was my frustration watching the replay. Maybe it's just instinct to run at the line, but safety was so far back they can't stop the first down anyway, so why wouldn't responsibility to be sure we doesn't run deepThat play really bugged me. Freyler bailed on covering a receiver when it was 4th and 1 and he was 12 or more yards off the line of scrimmage. Even if you guess right and it is a run you aren't getting to the line before it is already decided if he is getting the first down. If Freyler covers the guy and knocks it down, ISU is taking the ball over with field position and momentum. Upper classman has got to do better.
Are the hoks interested?Chubba Purdy is in the portal... again.
Exactly.If we don't have the players to run a 3-3-5, then why continue to run it? Why not adjust? A 3-4? A 4-2? All I know is Scatterbro was 7-10 yards down field before first contact on most of his big runs.
Sounds like the Hoks are bringing in Auburn transfer Hank Brown. Another QB that can’t play.Are the hoks interested?
Because it's really difficult to just up and change your scheme mid season when you're having GREAT success with it? It's one thing to throw it in the trash can when you're getting lit up. It's another when you're among the national leaders in getting off the field.If we don't have the players to run a 3-3-5, then why continue to run it? Why not adjust? A 3-4? A 4-2?

He was passed by Connor Moberly on the depth chart. Your assertion may have some merit if he was still #2 on the depth chart.He didn't get a chance to play. Sure he got to practice but with Rocco winning games, he would have had to look amazing and way better as Campbell not going to bench a healthy QB. There is no reason to believe JJ would be worse than Rocco if he started this year. He could be just as good
And I'd argue most look better in practice than they ever do in games.He was passed by Connor Moberly on the depth chart. Your assertion may have some merit if he was still #2 on the depth chart.
Yep. Just copy NFL teams with NFL talent and their philosophy. So easy Alabama and Georgia and elite coaches do that... oh wait... they don't. OK. But yet, Iowa State, with its plethera of NFL caliber ....Exactly.
Copy the Vikings and their philosophy.
Get them in the backfield before they get momentum.
Pressure causes mistakes which results in turnovers.
We do ourselves no favors on offense by always facing long drives for points.
