The most disappointing thing is that Campbell got the players to buy in and have confidence. The talent level is the highest it has ever been with this program and it's not even close. A couple mentioned we took a bit of a step back this year and I agree. The little things are what made ISU good the last couple years and those are things that we didn't do very well this year. 7-5 is definitely not what any of us expected, but I expect Campbell and the rest of the staff will evaluate everything and break it down in the off season so that the players can focus on those areas. Recruiting and player development have been great, but game planning needs to get better.
Purdy is a talented QB but needs to work on some things, including his decision making. He needs to be allowed to run more. He has put up big numbers this year, but he is far more dangerous when he uses his legs.
Will McDonald the last three games has shown that he is going to be a really special player. Looking forward to seeing how high of a ceiling he has.
