What is our offense
- Thread starter Knownothing
- Start date
The same goes for what is our defense? We have 3 guys tight together over the ball, and everyone else is back 10 yards
We beg people to run the outside, AND they do.

We lost an NFL running back and an NFL wide receiver. And everyone we play had a year to view and plan against Purdy.
This is a transition year. We will go to a bowl game, and then be better next year.
I'm starting to think it is the "we are only using these plays this week" thing. Today seemed like we had the "go for broke" play book plays on tap. When we shoulda switched to grind it out, short yards run mode, we couldn't because those weren't in the list today.
it’s a little weird when the coach comes out and says “we want to be more balanced, I thought we would be more balanced”...so like what exactly is stopping you dude?
Really? You do realize this happens to every team in the country every year, right? They lose valuable impact players. That is just an excuse.
Next year we won't have Meeker, Good-Jones, Knipfel, Collin Olson, Lima, Spears, Leo, Jamahl Johnson, Deshaunte Jones, Pettway, and possibly Bailey (I assume he'll take a RS though).
We have the talent and potential to be really good this year IMO, but as most are saying, we just lose too many games in the margins and the details. If those things don't change, next year won't be any better either.
With what was returning on the Oline and Dline this was far from a transition year.
If teams are going to go ISU on defense by dropping 7-8 guys, the thing that seems to kill us on defense is the QB running when there is nobody open. We got a guy that can do it, but he is determined to be a pocket passer. I get it but would be nice to see him scramble more. Dumping it off to backs more will help too.
Last I checked, he was the head coach, right?
Tonight, tomorrow, and the rest of this week will be too late to fix the unbalanced offense we had today that lost us the game we needed to win. If we're not being balanced during the game like you would like to see, then you make the adjustments during the game to fix that and give you the shot at winning the game. You are ultimately in charge. You make all the money bro.
Tonight is too late to go back and see why you weren't being balanced. The game is over. The chance you had to win it is long gone now. Great teams make the adjustments that are needed DURING the game.... not coming to the postgame press conference after the game wondering why your offense wasn't more balanced??
I'll be honest. I can't truly disagree with you. I am really disappointed. Especially with our special team play. IDK if that is coaching or talent level or both.
But think about it this way. Last year we had lightning in a bottle with a defensive scheme that was still new, an athletic QB that no one had coached against, and an NFL RB and WR.
This year, the O-line is playing better (in general) but all the rest of it is gone.
I do agree with this.
Look at how Purdy played in his first game ever against Okie State last year in Stillwater. Running and pump faking, and throwing darts and just having a blast. Now it seems like they've been teaching him to sit in the pocket this year and wait for things to develop, etc. They just aren't letting him be the "Brock Purdy" we saw last year.
Ask defensive coaches how much they f'n hate defending the RPO. If you have a QB that is good at it, a good RB and a good TE it is absolutely a beach on LBs. ISU checks all the boxes and we have no RPO, no read option.
I hear in the post game about the looks OSU was giving was dictating a pass heavy game. Just not the case. If that's what they were seeing they flat out got fooled.
OSU had a good game plan but it is easy to do when the opponent refuses to attack your absolute biggest weakness.

Seems like the defensive staff makes good adjustments at half but the offensive staff not so much.
Wow, those stupid coaches spent countless hours watching film and preparing for this game. All they had to do was ask some of you because you have the answers. These guys suck. They don’t listen to the fans. They waste time on a teams tendencies. Bring back Rhodes. I am tired of a coaching staff taking us to Bowl games every year. Making the season longer. I long for the good old days.
I thought that was an odd statement as well. I think Purdy had 38 pass attempts at half so it was pretty obvious we weren't running a balanced offense.
That's us most games....OH YEAH!?!? get over ourselves and take what's there. Breece hall the last three weeks has been the best big 12 RB and chuck it 62 times lol
It was like ISU was playing huge deficit catch up when I don't recall them ever being down by more than a possession in the 2nd half. Even if it's two possessions, there was plenty of time to run the ball and get OSU off balance.
That is true, they have to figure out how to get Brock Purdy to be Brock Purdy. That involves him putting pressure on the defense with his feet in multiple ways. Designed runs, zone read options, running/scrambling on blitzes, etc...When that happens, it tends to open other things up. Maybe they figure there is more to gain in the long run by making him a pocket passer and he just has to go through a learning curve?
