I see that in the month we had to prepare we somehow made no adjustments from the shellacking we got in Dallas
This is what concerns me. We either made no adjustments for Miami. Or, we just have the horses. Seemingly we need to get better real fast (I’m thinking for next year) on defense because it’s seems like other teams in the league have gotten better with the portal.

Did Miami line up off balance and intentionally kick the ball out of bounds that way? Bold choice.

The game plan to sit back in our base defense and let the nation’s best offense pick us apart is certainly a choice.

It's what ISU has done all year. No pressure. No clogging up running lanes with 3 man front. Bad tackling when they actually do close up the lanes. Piss poor coverage. It's terrible.

It’s very clear our defensive problems are a talent issue and not a scheme issue. Which is to be expected when you’re starting 3 back ups and third stringers

Heacock always adjusts at halftime and they do much better in the 2nd half but today……appears that we’re still on the bus.
