Not only that, but I can't wait for the presser where here tells us it's all Richardson's fault for getting hurt. Another time where Sam didn't make the right read and it cost him.
courtney messingham, can we fire him now?

Injuries is not an excuse it is REALITY.
Riddle me this, if Niang, Ejim and Kane were to all get hurt and the BB season go down the tube, would you call for FH to fire coaches and say he is using injuries as an excuse?
Fact is no other team in the college football has had a different starting offensive line for every game they played and if they did they wouldn't be winning much either. So it is not an excuse it is what is happening.
Curt as a former player I love your opinion but this team is just aweful. It's not just an offensive line issue. Teams have learned how to attack our offense and penetrate our Wally Burnham coached defense.

Pull your head out of your ***. This is not based on one year or a few positions being sub-par due to injury.
What about last year? And the year before? And before that?
There IS a trend and it mostly points to offense. We may have (or NOT as I always discount when someone says "fact is...") an indordinate amount of injuries, but every team does. We have the same number of scholarship players. We have the same recruiting seasons. We have the same number of official visits. Exact same date and time on signing day.
From a global view I can SORTA see what MAY be down the road with Wimberely (if he survives), QB, TE, and some of the OL but really tough to see this being a breakout type of team in the near term.
Honestly at this point I'd give my left danglebob to just be average.
The injuries excuse is nothing but an excuse when teams score 70 on you. Or when UNI beats us. There's something wrong with the program right now. I don't know if it's the head coach, or the offensive coordinator, or recruiting, or play calling. But it's more than injuries.
That's not a good comparison....Football has 6 times more people so depth should be built up. Basketball doesn't have that luxury. If you made a comparison to the Kansas City Chiefs, I could have seen that.
Courtney is playing for first pick in the draft. Boy, won't he be shocked at the end of the season.
what about last year? Well we went to a Bowl Game right, maybe I went to watch a different ISU in Memphis.
what about the year before and the year before that? Well Mess wasn't the OC Herman was so why do you even bring these years up?
In talking to a very prominant recruits dad today he indicated that he believes this year is an aberation, next year will be better and the year after that will be really good. Why you say? Well in 2 years all the young (RS fresh & sophs) playing now on the OL, DL and WR positions will be Jr and Sr's, plus you sprinkle in the guys redshirting currently and the big time guys coming next year I think he has a good point.
Injuries aren't an excuse it is what is hurting this team because there is no continuity on O or D. Look at the D, today we were without Willy and Luke, two good players for us. We have been without Jansen for a couple games. It is hard to build cohesion and trust amongst the players when it is new players in there all the time. What this does is slows players down and make them have to think they need to cover for the new guy in case the new guy doesn't play his assignment.
agreed... the entire scheme needs a huge make over and that should start now... I want power football, with lots of play action... sometimes under center, sometimes not... run 50 times one game, pass 50 times the next week. Please, i beg you.
I look forward to hearing you tell CPR this and look forward even more to his response.
In the same post you say that Courtney is a girl's name and he should be replaced by someone named Seneca?
