This game is all on Paul Rhoads.

No it's on Messingham. He ran the ball every single first down until the end on the one play where Lenz couldn't haul it in. They stacked the box everytime, and Messingham never took advantage of it.

If Lenz hangs on to that TD, or Woody doesn't fumble, then you say Mess is a genius. It is all about execution. I agree we need to be more aggressive, on both sides of the ball. We take bend but don't break to the extreme on defense, and we need to loosen the reigns on offense and take some shots downfield. The field is so compressed because we never do anything but run or throw 3 yard passes.

Is everyone blind. Our offense is playing pretty good minus that last fumble not sure why the ******** on play calling

This game is on a lot of people.....WV is a good team, no shame there. I would have liked to see our defensive backs a) cover a reciever B) tackel C) know situational football....our safties sure could have helped on run defense that last series, but they were irrelevant.
How they hell did we let them get the two point conversion?!?!? guys were there, just not making plays.
just typical Cyclone football I guess. We are whining about some spot on that last series when really we should have had two more players in there who can make a freaking tackle and help with run. If they bloop a td pass on a one on one cover, then you tip your hat....you don't just take it on run plays like a prison wife.
