Of course not. Mistakes were made. We made a lot of them. Oklahoma made some.
If we want to become an elite football program, you have to grow. It doesn't happen overnight.
I'm just disappointed at how many people are losing their god damn mind over this. We have posts calling for our god damn quarterback to leave. We want to fire staff members. For ****'s sake.
I had forgotten all about him. I saw the name and remembered hating him, but couldn't remember why. And then I remembered, the guy that kisses Synder's ass.
Where were you last night when I was defending Prohm from hundreds of attacks?
Can you name a qb we've had with a huge upside? How deep ball wasn't better, he just had better deep ball targets. Landon Akers does not equal Hakeem butler.
Well if you take no Purdy = losing as a given, then yes, that'd be dumb.
But as I've said, most of our playbook right now are short passes, partly because Purdy whiffed the deep ball all year. And yet we get these terrible Favre like moments where he forces it and blows it. We didn't need a hero this game, we only needed good game management.
I don't concede that Dekkers is an automatic downgrade from the start. But we can't put him in with Purdy as a senior. This is why I was saying I hoped Purdy chose not to come back with an extra year of eligibility, when I wrongly thought he was a senior. Yes, I would take moving on in that case (which isn't the case! I know!) because I simply expect Purdy to throw away the huge games.
To point a finer point on all of this. It's fine to be disappointed we lost. It's fine to be sad we lost.
But there are far too many people angry that we lost. And there are far too many people that think that Oklahoma had no effect on us playing bad.

A good amount of people from outside of central Iowa who follow college football closely will remember us being atop the regular season standings this year.
The oline got whipped today. But he did make some bad choices.
Look, Purdy's 3 picks were bad, no doubt. He was harassed all day long.
This game was lost on special teams: 10 easy points for OU at critical moments. 10 points! Special teams killed us all year.
The reason why Purdy doesn't throw deep is because he doesn't have the WR threat this year. This year's offense was built on the run and the TE's.
ISU simply made too many mistakes today. If they played it clean, ISU wins by 10.

Could be wrong but iirc many of his picks on long throws under threw an open receiver. He doesn't throw a long ball very well.
Before the 'but what about Bulter?' comes up, go look at Butler's catches and see how it was often basically a jump ball.
That’s none of your business and I’ll thank you not to judge me
I do think if Purdy had more time to throw, some of those would have turned out fine. That being said, He needs a senior year to polish his game before the NFL.
I don't usually listen to the call in show afterwards, but holy shot is it always 50 percent commercials?
