Matt Campbell Finalizes Extension Through 2032

2022 was always going o be a tough year. Dekkers was going to have to cut his teeth but hanks to his stupidity we had to put a Freshman on the field again in 2023. We are better for it now and in all reality Becht and Iowa State probably overachieved in 2023.
2 years is a little dramatic. At that point in the season we had an easy win over UNI and a 1 score loss to a good Iowa team.
We had the same problems as we did the past two seasons. Overly passive on offense, lots of mistakes on defense. I understand some of that is unavoidable but even Williams and Bloom were at the idk where this goes phase before we started winning with Rocco. Purdy's last season was underwhelming too which added to the anxiety. (Which is why I say two years)
This when what happens when being paid well but not being greedy meet. We need more like this at the top who know it's not all about them, but they staff/employees around them that make big contributions and help raise all ships.
The Ohio is to the offense what the Texas game was for the defense. Both caused Campbell and staff to change their approach to games. The offense has become more aggressive, remember last years opening play??? Also it's not complementary football to have a top defense in the conference but have a bottom 1/3 offense. Glad the offense has hit the gas.
Preaching to the choir. This year will tell us a lot about what has changed with Campbell's philosophy.
Last year showed us that...and it will vary year to year depending on the roster. I don't think this years team will be as high flying on offense until maybe the second half of the years and the WRs settle in
Last year showed us he is willing to go outside his comfort zone. This year will tell us if he committed to being more aggressive or if he regresses to the mean.
