PFF college football post on ISU offense

Let’s run with that… So far he hasn’t accomplished this. I’m not trying to downplay him at all as I’m incredibly happy to have him as our running back. I just want to see him consistently perform positively from game to game. Some of you are just nitpicking about my comments without really looking at the gist of them.
Initially you said you wanted to see him have an outstanding game under normal conditions. I pointed out the BYU game was under normal conditions and was unequivocally a great game. You seemed to discount that because he had a long run. I am pointing out that long runs are something good backs do. It's not my fault you started out the thread with a bad take and for some reason continue to defend it. Just take the L and move along.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am excited for this season. I don’t care for all the floor and ceiling predictions. I just know that we will have a team capable of beating every team on our schedule. Gone are the days where we have 2 or 3 games that we have zero chance of winning. I’m excited to see how much these guys improve from last year and what new guys emerge.
Just once I want to see a Matt Campbell team kick Iowa's ass.
We all know what they can do in Big 12 play (last year, 2020 Fiesta year, Alamo year). I want to see him smash our in state rival who appears to be down.
I agree, and hope he and the boys prove us wrong this year. I almost feel that Matt's teams always get wrongly pegged in the preseason, in both directions. He's a steady Eddie coach with an average ceiling, but also a fairly high floor.
Even more, this should be a fun team. An exciting team. What’s not to love?
Breece Hall really wasn't that good when you take away his good runs.
So much this. Just break a couple big plays early, get a lead. Get them pressing and they start turning it over. And just have it snowball into a 41 to 10 demolishment.
I do as well. If ISU played Iowa end of the season pat 6 years we would be 4-2 against them in that time. He needs to take this non-conference seriously for once, he did in 2021 and started 3-0 but that team was unbalanced and odd. Had to replace Purdy, Hall. Kolar, Rose etc...
Just wasn't a B12 caliber team.
The question was how many times has Campbell won MORE than 8 games. The answer is once (9-3 in 2020)
8-5 twice (2017 and 2018)
7-6 3 times (2023, 2021, and 2019)
I speculate the discrepancy amounts to whether or not you account for his records @ Toledo.
3 @ Toledo, 1 at ISU = 4
Mahomes really isn't that great either if you take away his good passes.
Correct. The original post I commented on referred to ANY Matt Campbell coached team. That has to include his Toledo teams.
