I wouldn’t say they suck, they are just brutally slow for P4 football.
Here's the thing...I don't disagree with you. But is there a coach that doesn't have some WTF moments every single year. That's ******* life. It's kind of like how (when we actually had a good kicker) we would talk about how our guy always misses FGs, but they never really miss more than most other kickers.
Yeah... I would guess the ball isn't very catchable when it's already going the other way because the throw was so horribly short. Same if he threw it 8 yds over his head, but the opposite.

If the receiver is being pulled to the ground, that’s holding.
If it happens while the ball is in the air, it’s interference.
If the ball is tipped after the receiver is being pulled to the ground, it’s still interference.
The only way you wave it off is if the ball is tipped/touched before the illegal contact by the defender.
I get we are all disappointed, myself included. But I still love the cyclones and will continue to support them.
Did the players make mistakes? Yep. Did coaches make mistakes? Yep. Did the officials make mistakes? Yep. Lots of blame to go around.
But pointing fingers won’t solve anything. All we can do is show our support. Campbell has done enough to earn my trust he can get this turned around.

I used to like the “coaching with fire” from Rhoads and Campbell but honestly these midfield meltdowns are ******* embarrassing when you’re
1. Losing to inferior teams
2. Supposed to be leading a bunch of 18-22 year olds
A pretty big difference between Campbell and TJ there.
There are times I wish TJ would ride the refs a bit harder, but overall his poised demeanor tends to rub off on his team
the receivers aren't as good, but they could be doing better under a better offensive system......I think our offense needs to be completely revamped
This defense gave up 21 points (not putting that last FG on them, that’s 100% on the coaching staff for going for it on your own 19).
That should be enough to win every Big 12 game you play…it’s not like there are ‘85 Bears level defenses anywhere in the conference.
This loss was on the offense and coaching.
By rule that doesn’t matter, it’s why holding can be called completely away from where the play is going. A penalty is a penalty. It happened before the INT, so you could always argue, at the very least, he’s able to break up the INT.
Its about rythem, run plays with 15 seconds on play clock. They over think it sometimes. They should never get below 10.
You are right. Interference happens with contact when the ball is in the air. That was the case here. Ball has to be deemed catchable by the player being interfered with, which it was not, as a player 8 yards in front of the interference and not involved in it picked it off.
In college they don’t explicitly state ball was uncatchable like they do in the NFL, but it is part of the college rules that a ball has to be deemed catchable by the interfered player (assuming the interference wouldn’t have happened).
If we run out against BYU with a 3-3-5 and have offensive play calls short of the sticks, I'll know they did nothing during the bye week to actually improve
