Take 35-40 guys off Matt's roster and see how up your team is because that's what Klieman had to face playing Arkansas State. He should never have played that game.
If we don't win the Big XII this year...
- Thread starter Stormwarning
- Start date
Hope you meant in recent times then
..We're not near what we normally are. I remember some really bad football. Awesome that a 7-5 season and a bowl with ND was a letdown
IMO 1976 Team was probably the Best. for those of you to young to know this team, go watch them beat Nebraska on You Tube. If I remember correctly, Nebraska,Oklahoma and Colorado were ranked 1-3 by AP and UPI. Played a great game against Oklahoma and lost in a snowstorm to Colorado. Number two offense in the nation and top 10 defense. went 8-3 with no Bowl invatation.

Exactly. Only one team is getting talked about winning the conference in this thread and it's absurd.
It's the premise that the B12 isn't very good overall so being good should get someone a legit shot.
Problem is ISU is still probably a middle of the pack type of team.
As I've written elsewhere, Sagarin has 4 B12 teams in his top 20. That's the same number as the B10. And it's two more than both the ACC and P12. Only the SEC has more with six.
After reading so many posts like this, I wish I had the time to correlate members’ post histories between “TCU has a great defense!” fear comments last week and the “Brock was horrible against TCU!” posts since Saturday.
I have a feeling there would be at least a mite bit of coincidence there.
Just to go back to this post...
This year we had a loaded defense, plus Brock and Breece (and the tight ends) back, so it looked good.
However, the offensive line and the wide receivers were both very green, despite having a relatively core to build around. COVID-19 and no Spring practice hurt.
Next season, the only major losses will be at safety and tight end—and both of those are going to be much easier to replenish than the still-developing offensive line has been this year.
‘21 will be a loaded team, all across the board.
This might be true, but how many starters?
ASU was missing something like 10 STARTERS (among others missing I am sure).
Unreal.
Here are 3 of the 35-40 who didn't play v. Arkansas State.
Josh Youngblood, All-American returner
Jahron McPherson, Walter Camp and Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week v OU.
Khalid Duke, 9 tackles v. OU
Those dirty rotten lazy sine waves. Always lagging a quarter cycle behind cosine waves.
Haha! May have me there!Those dirty rotten lazy sine waves. Always lagging a quarter cycle behind cosine waves.
Confused. That was maybe too long ago for me!!

From a talent standpoint, yeah this team is one of the best in school history. That doesn't always equal success though. Given the history of Iowa State football, we never know what to expect. We could have a ton of talent and still have a bad season. Last year was a good example of that. Well, it wasn't a bad season I guess, but 7-6 was not what any of us expected.
