In recent seasons, we have made fun of teams that like Iowa that feasted on teams with losing records. This year, we are that team. Texas is the only team we beat this year that had a winning record.
I'm tired of hearing about the great Matt Campbell
- Thread starter ruxCYtable
- Start date
Is the team really that young this year? Seems about half the starters are seniors
OL and NT are about the only position stacked with seniors that had major playing time this year.
OL - 4
DL - 2
WR - 2
LB - 1 (feel like I’m missing 1)

Yeah this was the year to take things to the next level. It didn’t happen, obviously. Because of expectations, this was a step back year. But it wasn’t disastrous.
People seem to forget, that 5-10 years ago, it would have taken 3 years to get 7 wins.
not sure Campbell has the right staff Manning is ******* joke
Before you start anonymously slamming people by name, get a clue. This season we had one of the highest scoring offenses in ISU history and ranked at the top nationally in red zone efficiency.
Our offensive line got owned last night. Manning could have been the best play caller in history, but it wouldn't have mattered.
If the Baylor kicker misses and Pettway holds on to a ball that hit him in the stomach and we’re 9-3 and everyone is signing Campbell’s praises. Things are never as good or as bad as they seem. If we string together enough 7-8 win season eventually the ball will bounce our way and we’ll go 11-2.
Defensive line got owned too tho not as badly. I've noticed our kickoff coverage has slipped the past couple games. Not sure what's going on there.
Iowa and KSU games bring out the fatalism in the ISU fan base like nothing else.
And if Purdy doesn't fall on that fumble and Texas doesn't have a horrible offside call, we could be 5-7.
Agreed. ISU got owned up front by the K-state D-line for most of the game. Some of the other times that occurred during the CMC tenure, were back to back owning by Texas.
We have a chance to win 8 games for the 3rd straight year for the first time in over 40 years. And some people are complaining about the coach???
Either the OP is 10 years old and knows zero about ISU football history or this is the dumbest thread in the history of CF.

As has the other side where we were almost 10-2. We won 2 extremely close games and lost 3. The what ifs go both ways.
