This is all purely off what I can remember, so forgive me if some of this is slightly off. At some point I would like to get back and rewatch the games, but have not been able to yet.
UNI: Managed to score a whopping 16 points and 1 touchdown against a (currently) 5-5 FCS team. This should speak for itself, but in case it doesn't, the extremely vanilla play calling required our defense to essentially bail us out.
Iowa: Complete breakdown on the offensive side of the ball. Didn't make any adjustments until the final drive of the second quarter and then completely abandoned what worked on the drive for the rest of the game. Did not allow Purdy to run the ball and continually put him in horrible sports, which led to three picks. Refused to throw the ball down the field whatsoever and got outcoached. 3/12 on third down.
UNLV: Legitimately one of the worst teams in all of college football so this shouldn't hardly count.
Baylor: Complete lack of adjustments until it was too late, not to mention a horrid call on the 2-point conversion to lose us the game. Did not push the ball down the field until we found ourselves behind. For some reason can't remember much about this game but I remember being livid at Manning for costing us a chance to win. Feel free to add what I'm forgetting.
Kansas: See UNLV.
K-State: Actually thought this was a pretty solid performance as far as Manning goes.
OSU: Wasn't able to watch this game so I'm not able to add much. Thought we may have turned a corner after two solid performances by Manning, but this wasn't the case.
West Virginia: Mediocre job by Manning. Not his best, nor worst performance. Defense and horrid officiating lost us this game.
Texas: Absolute failure in the first half, manning a whole 3 points against one of the worst defenses in the conference. Did not push the ball down the field at all. Exploded in the second half but relied on a trick play to score our only passing TD.
Texas Tech: Lost us the game. Don't care that we scored 38, it took far too long to figure out another terrible defense. This put our defense in a bad spot the entire game. Incredibly predicable play calling until it was too late. Texas, who we held to 7 points put up 70 on this team. We were unable to get the run game going, and refused to adjust when Tech stacked the box.
Oklahoma: Against one of the worst defenses in the conference, our longest offensive play was a fake punt. That speaks for itself. Kansas put up 23 on this team, meanwhile we can't put up more than 21. through 3 quarters and 10 minutes of football. We proceed to run flat out stupid trick plays, including one that directly resulted in an OU defensive touchdown (that was the difference making TD in the game). Finally gain some momentum with Dekkers, and we put Purdy back in which results in a three and out. Consistent routes less than what is needed for the first on 3rd down. 96 yards passing, 1/10 on third down. Could not make a simple adjustment like changing the snap count to give Purdy a chance to throw the ball.
TCU: Remains to be seen, but I don't have high expectations.
He can't keep his job after this right?
