*** Official ISU vs KSU Gameday Thread ***

[Land Grant]

I've been vocal about Messingham but he's called a good game so far. Running game has moved the ball but our two QBs can't hit a receiver at all.

Mess coaches the qbs

if there is no coaching changes, fan base will disappear

Was only to watch intermittent plays during first half. Looks like I didn't miss a whole lot.

Any chance ISU gets shut out? It'd be sort of the opposite type of bad loss compared to previous two games.

 

[cycloneworld]

Also for those killing Bundrage, he had ZERO targets. Tough to make plays when no one throws the ball in your direction (probably would be overthrown or one hopped anyway).

 

[Wesley]

So does Bundrage play any more? We could sub a nobody in and do more.

 

[Doctor]

Let's win the 2nd half!

Already happening. PR is wrong not to fire Mess midsession

I'd say there is a high chance ISU gets shut out.

How can things go downhill so fast in just a few months?

QB play has had more breakdowns today than the other positions. Not BCS caliber, just like the last few years.

Rohach had essentially no offers out of HS. It is obvious why. This kid wouldn't start for an FCS team. His arm is dead. I watched a TCY game this morning, and saw a seven year old complete the 10 yard out in a more consistent fashion.

I'm not watching or going to anymore games if we get shut out.

Um, Rohach actually has a very, very live arm. His accuracy is the issue. Rohach has a much more live arm than Richardson does...they both are very ungood with the whole "accuracy" part of being a quarterback. I call that "Tarvaris Jackson Syndrome"....can throw it through a brick wall but can't hit said brick wall.

Yet last year people were saying he'd be the go-to guy. And we hear that about other players this year too. Just proves most of us have no idea what we are talking about.

That's a good question. The defense's inability to make routine int's is ridiculous.

 

[CascadeClone]

Counting bodies like sheep UFC commercial is total highlight of this game so far. And I don't care about UFC.

In general, if no other coach thinks they're talented enough for an offer, they probably aren't very talented. Will there be exceptions? Yes. Will there be a lot more failures than exceptions? Absolutely.

 

[cyclonez7]

Rohach has a high ceiling if his accuracy improves. He's just a freshman.

 

[ISUFan22]

You shouldn't need a rhythm to make the most basic throws as a QB.

If you actually think the QB hasn't been an issue this game, I don't know what to tell you.

QB play has been bad. But a lot of it is on the line. That's a fact. It's a season long thing and carries game to game.

Also for those killing Bundrage, he had ZERO targets. Tough to make plays when no one throws the ball in your direction (probably would be overthrown or one hopped anyway).

It's on the scheme definitely. Also, if he's so good though - he'd be open that the team couldn't afford not to target him.

 

[awd4cy]

Defense is exhausted from halftime I guess.

 

[Rogue52]

Pitch and catch.
