Sounds like Purdy is fine. Payne might not be able to go next weekend.
Disappointed sure, upset nope. We just got beat tonight and not screwed over. Learn from this and grow from it.
Honestly if we can keep our coach, I have no doubt that we’ll be back. This is 2 years now where we had a fighting shot to get to the title game.
Injuries are really hurting our defense, but not as much as the inability to tackle today. That was a horrible showing.
I was nervous after the last couple of games, but cant say I fully saw that coming

My hopes and dreams after the end of that WVU-OSU game...
Sometimes I just wish ISU would simply get to the line, and run the play instead of all the shifting. Especially if the play call is a simple ineffective dive on 1st down.
I liked Azunna getting more PT at corner. Ruth hasn't been getting the job done.
Ruth is bad, plain and simple.
Anyone know where Mike Rose was tonight? He did nothing
That was a worse performance than the one I saw in person two years ago. I suppose we can cool it with the “arrived” talk. There is a definite ceiling for success with that line play. Woof. I don’t mind the loss. But I do mind not putting up a fight.
The good news is were going bowling. The bad news is, we had a shot at the PBA but instead we'll be playing Friday beer league. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Mike Rose had a lot of tackles you serious Clark.
Honestly going into the game I didn't expect Iowa State to win but believed they could. We did not play like contenders tonight. My biggest frustration was not that we lost but how we lost. Looked much worse than a 24-10 score.
On the bright side this has been a very good year so far. Team needs to regroup and stomp the purple kitties next week.

Regarding the tackling, it wasn't just the last couple. They had tackling issues against OU. Seems like a Jekyll and Hyde type of deal Some games they are spot on, others, not so much. Consistency is something CMC is probably preaching heading into next year.
Rose blew coverage on a pass to the RB out of the backfield for a TD. A lot of blown assignments it seemed like for this whole ISU d
The bottom line is ISU just needs to get better and deeper on the OL. Just seems like they have had more attrition and misses there then in all the other position on the field. They will have several guys with experience coming back next year, so we should expect some improvement. Still not sold on no OC and hiring a grad assistant as the OL coach, but most of the issues look to be physical.
I thought this team reverted back to the form against OU and TOE. Bad tackling was obvious, but the offensive game plan went back to vanilla. We all saw why he did that against Tech. Keep that offense off the field, but to essentially only run 2 plays: deep ball down the sideline or a run up the middle isn't going to cut it. I think ISU probably needs an OC who shares CMC's vision, or CMC needs to learn to switch up the game plan when playing TOE, TX and other teams we similar or superior athletic talent on the line and out smart them. Both loses were a situation in which they played into the strength of their opposition, instead of exploiting weakness.
