I never thought I'd see the day where ISU fans would say "since we aren't going to win the conference, might as well sit out."
Rose
- Thread starter FallOf81
- Start date
I think his loss today was visible. I couldn't see the damn game, for obvious reasons.
But I'll say this - we didn't generate a good enough pass rush apparently, and our defensive backfield didn't play well. Neither of those is on Rose.
Next week we need to change something up. Maybe more blitzes from Hummel/Horne/Vance, or something different up front. Doege was obviously comfortable back there today and that's why he had 400 yards almost. That's bad defense.
Every time we blitzed today we left the DB's in 1 on 1 coverage and they got burnt.
My general impression was that we played it a little safer all around, without his reliability in plugging whatever gap might spring up. Seemed like our coverage was softer, and we were less likely to bring pressure.
Not worth making another thread, but can we talk about how horrible the announcers were? Not once was it even mentioned that the Big 12 defensive player of the year was sidelined.
And the sideline reporter looked like he was coming off of a three day bender..
If Rose is done they'll need to overhaul the defense or something.
I would expect a slight drop yesterday but that was like missing the entire unit.

Yeah I think the unit should be better than that even with missing him. We didn't really shut down the pass or the run yesterday, usually we will slow down one of those to a high degree.
I think we tried to play the same way as we would have if Rose were playing. Just another huge coaching error.
I don't think the secondary as a whole is synced in very well for coverage or able to do it.
Sanders threw some absolute darts last week but that TD before half was not played very well by Eisworth or I. Young.
The 'well they're just playing soft to preserve the lead/time' from the KU and KSU games is starting to look like that wasn't the purpose.
Aren't they allowed 4 games or is that something else?
Maybe play him but hold him out for the bowl game or something.
Yeah, but I know he's played in earlier games this year as well (not sure how many).
I just hope 5 star culture doesnt cost him potential generational life changing money. I dont think the alamo bowl is worth that IMO. He can really only hurt his draft position from here on out--he's already at the top of the RB class. Sure the Big12 championship is still "technically" in play, but one more loss and it's definitely over, and it's already out of ISU's hands.
like it or not, ncaaf is changing and players SHOULD be looking out for their futures. To not be doing that is, to be frank, stupid. Especially running backs. This old school thought process everyone giving me "dumbs" has will be gone soon.
Monday morning seems a bit early to be drunk.
