Not sold on up coming season(especially)oline again
- Thread starter Bob f
- Start date
If we do the same crap we normally do the first three games. I’m out. I’m pumping myself for basketball season
SNL Harry Carey (Will Ferrell) comes to mind. “What’s your favorite planet? Mine’s the sun. If that thing burns out we’re all dead!”
We will be good enough and competitive enough to win every single game on the schedule. Not one team do I look at and say with 100% certainty that we will lose. Goes the same for winning. Momentum one way or the other will be the difference between 10-2 and 6-6
Quitting on the team 4 months before the season starts is certainly interesting.
Laughing at the first paragraph. Pretty much agree on the second.
What has been the missing piece of our football team? Purdy, Breece apex year? Not too hard to figure
Yeah, we might as well give up, especially with Utah coming in.

I mean, they SHOULD be better. Return all 5 starters, add 2 the should contend to start from the portal, get Hasert back from injury plus RSFR available to play. Not to mention 2nd year of the new OL coach and 2nd year of the new S&C staff. If they aren't at least above average this year, I don't know if it's possible here.
I still contend that scheme plays a bigger part than OL talent or technique. When you play with a fullback, it's pretty easy to see where the ball is going and when you're going to run it. I love Stevo Klotz and the guys who played the position before him. But, it isn't a surprise (to me) that our best OL play of the Campbell era was when Soehner was playing F. He was a legit threat in the passing game, could seal the edge AND lead block. Even though we had no deep threats, the offense wasn't predictable because Soehner was versatile enough to catch a pass or attach to the line and seal the DE. Seems like now, if Klotz is in, you know we are running and all you have to do is fly to wherever he is and you're likely going to get a TFL. Pretty tough for an OL to succeed when the defense knows exactly what you are going to do.

I need a translator for your posts, Bobby.
Where the hell has that been?
Not trusting the OL has been a staple of anyone who has watched ISU play for years, was this meant to be a hot take of some sort?
Klutz had a fee tds and some pretty big first downs over the course of the year. Maybe bc it was a surprise when he did release for a pass. But I understand what you're saying
