Ou in the champ game...last year all our losses were the same...get behind, try to catch up and didn't have enough...same with the two losses
Oh I know, but they were not ready to decide, they pissed around and weren't ready, and they wasted too much time.
Just on my way home from UNI game. How’d we do today guys?
It'll bounce back. There's plenty to talk about.
That can be a problem.
Did CF shut down? Too much negativity!
LOL. Kidding, kinda. I'm quite negative at the moment.
Agree. Somewhat like Kyle Kempf with Lazard…except X is no Al Lazard (he’s good but no Lazard) and Dekkers is less experienced with a lower football IQ than Kempf
Can someone tell me how they can review a penalty that was called on the field? I’m talking about the ineligible man down field penalty.
Not willing to go there. But Campbell has a lot of self reflection to do here.
There are some issues that seem to repeat. To fix them he may need to let go some of his friends. This is a business afterall.
Haha!
This strategy will get us in trouble.
Campbell: I like that strategy.
The one that killed me, was the delay of game after the possession change. That is really really bad, and 100 percent a coaching problem and a huge sign of disorganization and lack of planning.
Linemen can be downfield blocking if the receiver catches the ball behind the line of scrimmage. They were checking where the caught the ball, I assume.
We were 4 of 5 on 4th down conversions, but didn't go for it when it would have mattered most. ISU had 4th and a foot from the 19 yard line with 60 seconds on the game clock. How many teams have been able to move the ball 80 yards in 60 seconds, but we cant go 19 yards? It happens all the time, but instead Campbell was satisfied with giving himself a 50% chance at best at sending the game to OT. He had a nearly 100% chance at picking up that 1st down with a QB sneak.
LOL. Far from it.
99.99217% with a proper coefficient of variance.
These are odds worth mulling over.
If you are a KU fan, you had to be relieved when Campbell decided to kick a FG in that situation. The worst that could happen is OT.
Now I think Campbell has no choice but to give another kicker a try. Gilbert's confidence has to be shot.

Was this the worst loss of the Campbell era? The only thing that springs to mind was the Iowa Gameday rainout game, similar type loss.
So here is my take, Campbell is our best coach in history. Check yourself.
He has faults like everyone. One of his being that he is loyal to his people. But that has also been the reason he is still here. So again, check yourself.
The problems I see are, poor offensive scheme, especially for the lineup. Poor play calling, Poor offensive execution, Poor O Line blocking in both pass and run. This caused a young QB to get flustered and make mistakes. These are on the OLine Coach, and the OC, and because CMC is the final call and the one that does not make changes to either the overall schemes/work them out or change the staff as needed it also does fall on him.
This is also a huge problem on special teams and has been for years, yet we still dont hire a coach. This one is on CMC.
In the end CMC is still our best ever coach. Everyone expected us to have a down year, but when we beat Iowa we got our hopes up. But still take a breather, realize we need to fix things, and yes CMC needs to address the issues. But in the end he has done more for ISU football than anyone has ever. So lets cut him some slack. Lets remember we are rebuilding, and we lost a lot from last year. We were hopeful but we do have some young guys to develop. I do think CMC does need to address the above issues, but I do think he has earned some respect.
I remember years ago they sat down and redrew the entire Defensive plan and it has been top notch ever since. It is time they do the same for the offense. I hope they do.

That would've put him in Cody Parkey type rarified air.
Everyone remembers his double doink vs Philly in the playoffs. But earlier in that season, he drilled the upright 4 times (all misses) in a single game vs Detroit, which the Bears won somehow.
