well, ok...you suck. Good to know...
Disappointed sure, upset nope. We just got beat tonight and not screwed over. Learn from this and grow from it.
I commented on this during the game. They saw something in tape. When we shifted our line their defense never moved. Our shifts are done to set things up. They never bit on it. Corned Purdy time and agin on the left side. That and our protection on that side was horrid.
I liked Azunna getting more PT at corner. Ruth hasn't been getting the job done.Sounds like Purdy is fine. Payne might not be able to go next weekend.

Ruth is bad, plain and simple.
Anyone know where Mike Rose was tonight? He did nothing
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.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
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 dMike Rose had a lot of tackles you serious Clark.
There is a lot of truth to Montgomery masking the OL's weakness. I'm not sure we have the season we expect to in 2019 with a David Montgomery in the NFL. I definitely don't expect anyone else to breaking the number of tackles a David Montgomery does but I'm not even sure we currently have a back that can do it on a regular basis to move the ball.
That could turn a 9/10 win season into a 7/8 again.
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.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.
