    ISU v. OSU Game Thoughts

    Offense Rocco is still playing through something. Upper body injury, shoulder, or perhaps just the yips. He was barely good enough to win yesterday. I'm hoping he can play better in the bowl game so we have some better momentum going into spring. I know he's one of the best to ever do it...

    Game Thoughts: Arizona State

    This is starting to remind me of the scene in Tommy Boy when Richard tells Tommy (after a series of failed sales meetings), "Well, let's head off to our next huge embarrassing failure." This performance was mostly on the offense, and I was actually quite proud of the D. The D played way better...

    Game Thoughts Cincin Loss

    I will start off in saying I am excited this team has a 5-1 start. With several games to go everything is still out there for this team including a Big 12 championship game appearance (likely need to win out for that), and likely a fun bowl matchup. Some don't care about that, but I do...

    ISU v. Arkansas St. Game Thoughts

    We are 4-0 and what a thrill that is. I am in general a happy camper and do not want to come across as the entitled fan. I'll include some positive and constructive thoughts below for offense and defense. Offense Carson and Abu were rolling yesterday and the ground game looks really good. O...

    ISU vs. K State Game Thoughts

    Offense Rocco: not his best day admittedly. But when the game is on the line, he just makes huge plays. I'd love for more consistency rest of non conf. His deep balls to Brett E. and Overby were NFL level throws. Brett Eskildsen - he is a natural at WR. I think he's going to make a lot of...

    2024 Football Season Thoughts, Miami Game, Spring Football '25 -

    After Brock, Breece, and Will McDonald left for the NFL, I was starting to think the Fiesta Bowl win in 2020 was the pinnacle of ISU football. I was very happy to be proven wrong, as this year our program eclipsed 11 wins. I am elated that Matt Campbell has taken this great program to new...

    Kansas Game Thoughts (Defense specifically)

    I thought today was by far the toughest Cyclone game I have watched in about two years (this and the Memphis bowl game most likely). Offense to me was not the primary problem. The running game was fair, and I could argue Hansen should have had more carries. Rocco's one int was bad, but he did...

    Game Thoughts: Cyclones Over Houston, 4-0

    As someone stated (I think Williams), good teams win their clunker games. That was an ugly game one half in. We grinded it out and turned it on in the critical stages of the game. Great road win and love this team. Thoughts below: Defense - I owe a sincere apology to Heacock. I look up in...

    Liberty Bowl Ticket Question

    Hey guys, I bought tickets through Iowa State (ticketmaster facilitated the transaction), and had a quick question. I received an email saying "We've Got your tickets", and it shows the section, row, and seats (2) for my Dad and me. However, when I click on "Manage Tickets", it doesn't show...

    Post Farmageddon: Sunday Thoughts of Game

    This is unequivocally Matt Campbell's best coaching season. Lose 5 starters in August, lose a QB in the offseason, hire a bunch of new coaches on offense (coming off a bad bowl-less year), and we circle the freaking wagons to 7-5. I'll say Fiesta Bowl win year was the most successful year, but...

    Sunday Thoughts: The Pulverizing of Provo- BYU Thoughts

    As has been discussed already, most will point to 2020 as Campbell's best year coaching. This one to me has to be tied for first. New offensive coach staff, 5 starters lost in freaking August, and a new QB. Just an incredible job and I'm so happy he is our coach. Offense It is not...

    Game Thoughts Cincinnati

    I thought we could grind out a W, but it was shocking to see a borderline blowout yesterday. The team is playing with more confidence, cohesiveness, and has unlocked a swag that is fun to see. I did not like the crew on FS1 much. Seemed less complimentary to ISU but whatever. Here are my...

    Game Thoughts TCU

    So happy to see an electric Jack Trice Stadium on TV during the win. The fans, Campbell and staff, and the players clearly wanted a W badly for the legacy of Jack Trice and his family. We didn't just beat anyone, we took a team to the woodshed that was in the playoff last year. I understand...

    Game Thoughts Oklahoma State

    First of all, what a relief. I think we showed today that we can beat some teams in the middle of the Big 12. Baylor, TCU, Cincinn, Kansas, BYU are winnable games I feel this year with that kind of offense. Offensive Positives Jaylin Noel I owe a sincere apology, he was a massive difference...

    Iowa: Game Thoughts

    I really hope this is the last year of the Ferentz regime. The Offense (Positives, Negatives, and what I'm neutral on) - Positive: Abu Sama has some real potential. Only had 25 yards as Norton got the lion's share of carries. But anyone who knows football can see that this guy has some...

    Game Thoughts: UNI

    What I liked overall today - - Offense Ben Brahmer sure looks like our next TE draft pick doesn't he? His first catch is a 35 yard+ TD. Man he looks natural as a route runner. Abu Sama to me had a great run of 25 when our offense was a little stale. He has more wiggle and "make you miss"...

    Offensive Coordinator- Ideas

    1. Western Kentucky OC Ben Arbuckle. They averaged nearly 36 points per game https://wkusports.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/ben-arbuckle/811 2. Tulane OC Jim Svoboda. Averaged 33 points per game. This would be my preference as he is from Denison Iowa. He would have to be interested...

    Game Thoughts: WVU

    Offense Hunter D. was just smooth all day long. 2 td's no picks 67% completion. His game gets instantly elevated with the threat of a run game. Speaking of which, I thought Norton was tough and especially strong in the red zone. He needs to be our inside the 10 RB rest of the year, even if...

    Big 12 New TV Deal - Huge Positives

    Pete Mundo gives a fairly insightful analysis here in the first few minutes on the league's new tv deal. He is somewhat of a K-State nerd, but his analsysis of the sport is pretty spot on. This is exactly why we hired Yormark. In a cutthroat era of modern semi pro (I mean college) sports, we...

    Game Thoughts OU

    Offense We are making it so easy for defenses to defend us. Averaging 2 ypc (even less for some rb's we had today) is a recipe for disaster. Teams feast on our 3rd and longs and we do not get to second and manageable and third manageable enough. Dekkers: he had a couple really bad picks...
