*** Official IOWA STATE vs #4 TCU Game(Day) Thread ***

[CycloneStrongAllDayLong]

You could call offensive holding every freaking play.......sigh. wierd. We had that 4th down stopped....yet didn't.

Totally agree with that... So obvious but no call

I have always had no problem with TCU, thought they played hard and clean, but now Dykes is being a prick, and running up the score here. Really hope K State upsets them next weekend.

Running up the score in the 1st half. Good one.

They are trying to get in the playoff...they're going to score all they can so get your tissues ready.

 

[JM4CY]

Honestly, do we lead the league in false starts?

 

[madguy30]

Raised our expectations to have an offense and STs that are better than his predecessor? I don’t disagree on expectations but I don’t understand your thinking. Campbell has regressed to worse than CPR.

His records don't show that though.

Now if ISU is 2-10ish the next two seasons things are on schedule.

Like, lotion and tissues? Or tissues for crying?

Campbell and some of his coaches TOTALLY out coached. What other explanation is there for such poor play on offense, special teams, error prone, etc?

Two easy Td's because special teams gave them a short field. This defense has been playing their arses off all year so I wouldn't blame them for just giving up at this point.

I've never been one to be critical of Campbell but hes officially gaslighting this fanbase with his "winning in the margins" scam. I watch alot of other games and I'm hard pressed to find teams this bad at winning in the margins and doing little things to win football games.

And, we'll get to hear the same post game "we just didn't execute".. Save the press corp's time and tell them something they haven't printed the last four weeks... Like "yeah, we're looking for a new kicker"

‘Fumbled’ is being polite. That was a wild pitch if I’ve ever seen one.

Agreed. It was a very high snap. But we are a scoop & score and a safety from clearing our Bingo card for ISU mistakes in one game. It is laughable at this point how far we have fallen. Season ticket sales are going to suffer if CMC doesn't make changes. Nothing I have seen gives me optimism for next year.

I was thinking we led the nation.

We don't deserve to be in this game in the slightest but that was utter BS that we weren't allowed to sub. Last week against Tech they stood over the ball for a good 5 seconds then let Tech waltz on the field. Just now they didn't even give us a half second. Inconsistent officiating is staple of the Big 12.

That ref plain ****** up or he doesn’t understand the rules. It’s not even a question if that should have been a delay of game because we should have been given time to sub. It’s like the people who coach our special teams also advise big 12 refs.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

Roll call:
- Pick 6
- Fumbled punt snap
- Missed FG
- 2 false starts near/in red zone

Tom Manning developed offense. If we fired CMC & Tom, make John Heacock the HC , bring some G5 OC / specials team coaches, things will actually get better.

CMC is nothing without john Heacock.

You know it's bad when Cdub and CycloneFanatic have no halftime show. They know it's just gonna get worse

I am really curious what the penalty would have been had CMC not taken a timeout. Illegal substitution after given a split second to decide to sub or not?

 

[atlantacyclone]

The D is having their worst game of the year and they have been put in bad spots three times for 17 points. Our O is normal…

 

[StLouisClone]

I wouldn't be surprised if ISU ends up outgaining its 11th opponent this season.

Things are going to get worse. If you take away JJ Kohl, we have the worst recruiting class in a very long time, and bottom of the Big 12.

Ok the bright spot for the day is that this will be the last half that we will have to watch this inept offense until next season. Hopefully there will be a major shakeup with the offense during the offseason and we will never see it this bad again.

 

[Wally86]

Having flashbacks of this game right now...

Man you can sure see the team speed disparity in those clips. What year was it?
