Who though? Our fan base always over estimates who is going to get a chance in the NFL.
I assume its the latter, or he's become more cautious after taking those hits while here. His first year he was definitely a lot more risky with those kinds of things, and got lit up a couple times because of it.
KU is having their way with Texas now. If that holds up me thinks the ISU offense and defensive scheme have been figured out......especially the defense. Going forward how does the staff adjust? We've been told they changed to this defensive scheme to put the 11 best players on the field at one time. Well if that doesn't work then what?
When you play as bad as the Cylones did today, especially defensively, you deserve to lose on a 62 yard FG.
That’s fair. Certain position groups have been bad all year, but as a unit they have been one of the best in the country.
Breece yes. Charlie maybe. But everyone else is fringe for the NFL draft. If Will had 20 more lbs he'd be a shoe in, but other than those guys it's a long shot for anyone else.
I like the optimism though, I just try to be a realist.
Since the Cyclones lost, time to complain about random things. Why is the audio production on Cyclone Reaction horrible? They just went a whole segment with Whitver’s mic off.
Why is the reaction show being done in Chris’ spare bathroom and Jackass’ garage? Perfect sub par end to this night.
I sort of agree. But, if several players sit out the rest of the year, it may explain this year’s results.
What's weird is that instead of just having an 'off game' where the opponent is just chipping away at weaknesses, it gets REALLY bad.
Why I want a new oline coach:
You'd think playing 4 guards that our run blocking would be better.
Pass blocking is decent. Purdy holds onto the ball A lot because he doesn't have a great arm and everyone most of our receivers can't separate.
Campbell has changed WR recruiting for the 2022 class. All of these guys are route runners and separate guys. Trying to find another 6'5" Lazard or 6'6" Butler isn't easy. So I commend him for changing that.
With a strong armed QB for 2022. We should stretch the field more vertically. But we'll need to replace Breece and no longer have a loaded box luxury for Dekkers

Observations from today:
* Despite the failure to meet our expectations, Matt Campbell and his team are still one of the best things to happen to Iowa State since Johnny Orr.
• Oklahoma and Texas are 0-4 against ISU, Baylor and OSU. That is extremely good news. I say every victory by the "Big 3" over OuT is worth $1 million a year per team in the Big 12 after they leave to the SEC in addition to what they would have received.
• I think the question of whether Purdy will be drafted was probably answered today. He certainly deserves to be called Iowa State's greatest quarterback, however.
* For those to say Campbell should fire so and so are idiots. Matt Campbell has earned the right to be given the trust from Iowa State fans on the assistants he retains.
* Matt Campbell probably learned a lesson today. Playing the odds may be fine, but when you have no margin to fail, sometimes you have to push the odds a little.
* I have no worries about Iowa State's future.

Proud of the way the guys fought back. Tech made winning plays. That receiver (Price?) catching that ball after getting annihilated was the best catch I've seen in a long time. 62 yarder? Wow. They deserved to win. This will sting the players bad, and they have nobody to blame but themselves. Hope they can bounce back and finish the year with 2 wins.
Good Humbling for Cyclone Nation, embrace the pain, just because you do everything right, as CMC says about this team of high character fells does not guarantee success in this in this world. The process for away games is wrong somewhere, I'd try flying them in Saturday morning.
The coach speak definitely hits differently when we are playing like ****. Maybe spend less time working on your coach-isms and more time figuring out how to prepare your team for marginal opponents on the road.
