2026-27 ISU Football offensive scheme?

[CYCLNST8]

Flora could be effective on some swing and wheel routes. Get him the ball on the move.

Jaylen Raynor is an experienced playmaker.

Scheme to win through him.

I’m optimistic he will play well

So we win some games this year. I like it

I think we get to 6 or 7. With another win at Iowa of course

 

[Cyhig]

just hope it’s not the late ‘90s game plan.

1st and 10: draw up the middle. No gain
2nd and 10: draw up the middle. Loss of 2 yards
3rd and 12: draw up the middle. No gain.

35 yard punt

I always worry about the Iowa game when we try to play their style better than they do. Not saying we can't do it, it just seems more difficult. But Iowa has a lot of question marks too. So who knows?

Not enough durable RBs like Hansen. Mostly scatbacks on the roster IMO.

This is what I’m worried about as well. It doesn’t seem like we have the kind of backs needed for the system we want to run. Not that they don’t have talent, I’m more worried about injuries and depth. If Peppers is back to full strength, that changes things.

Don't overlook Easton Miller too honestly. I've heard the staff mention his name a couple times... and he's 6'1" 225 lbs... tough runner. I think he sees some snaps too.

We certainly have the better QB.

No question

Man, when haven't we over the last decade or so?

I'm expecting less WR involvement, similar TE to before (possibly more in the run/blocking game versus passing), and a lot more HB/FB gameplay and rotation.

Then why did they build a roster of 17 WRs?

Good question, I'm not sure. I tend to think WRs and DBs clog up lots of roster spots for developmental reasons, it's not like we're putting 4/5 WR out there every play and becoming Leach. Roehl likes his TEs, they're gonna be out there, and we know that's a successful part of our program identity. Especially if they're being expected to block more often.

It’s not a prerequisite, but it certainly helps.
