only a letdown for those with expectations
i was worried about 4 things and 2 of them were absolutely a problem and will be all season, wideouts and 2nd rb, then a third issue i was not worried about at all, special teams cropped up.

That’s as embarrassing of a loss as I can remember for a long time. Lost by more and to a lot worse teams, but those were bad ISU teams. This team has talent but they got punched in the mouth and just rolled over.

Are we really sure ISU is that talented?

They're returning a lot of players...but it's from a 7-6 football team in a season where the Big 12 won one bowl game.

Best quarterback in school history, best coach in school history, “talented” o-line, “best team in school history” proceeds to lay an absolute egg. I should have seen it coming

slow your roll way down on that best coach. Earl Bruce and Johnny Majors are the best coaches. Campbell is the coach who has had the best facilities and still has trouble competing every year against lesser teams

Not to me. I predicted a loss today. I love Campbell. I honestly do. But, and I’ll get heat for this I’m sure, I don’t think he’s as great as we think. We aren’t beating teams we absolutely should this many years in for him. OT nail biter last year. Almost lost to drake. Today was honestly not even that close. We got owned. He’s a better coach for us than any we’ve had in decades I do think that. But I just am not as high on him as many are. Hope he proves me wrong.

Oh I predicted a loss too, but then with the amount of excitement I had going into today I thought I was just telling myself we were going to lose because that is a lifetime of Cyclone sports talking. Clearly I was right in the first place

Pretty much. He needs to overhaul his staff for sure. Other than Heacock the staff has been pretty average since he's been here.
