I'm tired of hearing about the great Matt Campbell

Def. some overreacting. But, I do think it's fair game to ask why Campbell's program has looked very slow-starting the past 2 seasons?

You know the answer to this question.

Last year our QB got hurt immediately. This year the plays are there but execution isn't quite enough yet.

Preaches winning in the margins. The last 4 games have a disturbing trend of losing in the margins.


VS Drake - general malaise - win by pure ponderance of talent
VS Washington state - OL penalties loss.
VS UNI - penalties, lack of execution, mental mistakes - win by sheer luck
VS Iowa - 3QT of brilliance, 4th QT melt down. Loss.

This exactly. Love coach, but we are actually losing in the margins.

And they were a mess to start his first season but then went on to play decent at times later.

I'd rather see growth and improvement as the year goes on instead of what we'll probably see someone like Maryland do, but today/tonight and the UNI game were opportunities to assert themselves and the answer was to hold off.

Peaked last October and been crap since. Not sure how 3rd place in the big12 is going to happen. Conference looks a lot better than we thought and were a lot worse than we thought..

Exactly this. The rest of the Big 12 is taking care of business. We are not.

The short 3-stars can't get any taller. If the defensive side gets hit by injuries, Coach C might have to play some recruits from Iowa.
