thank u chris. i love u
Campbell's comments about the tent/sun situation tell me that he does care! He's just not going to whine about it to the media after the game or use it as the explanation for losing the game.
It’s always the offensive line. It’s hard to believe that we are still in a “we can move this guy over here and this guy can go over here and maybe when this guy gets back we can just change everyone around” situation.
Not that hard to believe. Building quality depth in the trenches is difficult.
why didnt we go after a juco rb?
they had to know david m was leaving.
it may not have helped.
we have to have someone that can get 2-3 yards on command.
baylor had it which is a simple explanation also why we lost.

We don't need more RB's, in fact, we need less of them.
RB doesn’t mean a whole lot if the o line can’t run block.
I thought we went after a back from Iowa Western but I may not be recalling that correctly.
Need one to emerge and then keep them on the field when it's going well.
You mean like when Lang was running well and making people miss? Yeah, we put Croney in then....
ouch 4 starting seniors and still cant run block?
campbell has pulled rabbits out of his hat 2 years in a row
is rory walling ready?
ill be honest i dont think he has a rabit this october
still think he is an amazing coach and hope he sticks around for a while
competition is stiff in college football
ask nebraska how their 4th rebuild in a row is going
We need a quality running back to teach the young players, they are talented but will take time to develop. A JC running back would have been a great idea, and I would look for one for next year. You can never have to many RB's on the roster.
We have to face the fact that we still have some glaring weaknesses. 1. Third down defense is horrendous. 2. Offensive line is serviceable at best. 3. Complete lack of any type of consistency team wide. Now I know why I’m a Cubs and Vikings fan too.
Couple points, Jirehl Brock I thought ran it once 4th and one and got stuffed. Baylors defense looked really good, great closing speed and looked to have more horses on defense than ISU does. I haven't seen a QB get that beat up in a long time, Purdy was getting killed, seemed like every other play. He's a tough SOB. I swear a couple times I thought they would need a shovel to get Purdy out of the ground.
That 4th and 1 from the 40 on the third possession was just brutal. Heavy package overloaded left side and stuffed at the line. Finishing that drive with points would have meant a lot. Miss the days of the Joeldozer to line up and get those when we need them.
The two best backs averaged over 5 yards a carry. The problem isn't the backs. There was room to move. It was throwing the ball 50 times. If we keep running and make them commit to stopping it, we can be more effective throwing. We need to take what the d is giving us
The OC and Purdy were the issue yesterday.
Your top RBs are averaging over 5 ypc. Run the ball
We ****** around for the first 35 minutes of the game not doing this.
