The OL was horrendous. Manning was awful again today.
Time to fire Jeff Myers, Manning.

Tom manning was atrocious. Every 3rd down was. 2 yard crosser to hutch. No creativity at all
I feel sad for Myers. You don't put a grad assistant with no coaching experience into one of the most important assistant positions on a P5 staff. This is totally on Campbell, and it should have been corrected at least 4 years ago. The Manning situation should have been corrected shortly after that.

Myers has been abysmal. We had an all American rb last 3 years and still looked mediocre. Oline was awful today against a bad KU defense.
ISU needs to have a better OL to thrive.
Don't know about Manning. He catches a lot of flack. But man, we do seem to be vanilla when we need spice. We are very predictable.
Also, I'm not sure a typical play call for a 3-5 yard slant/seem when 6-10 yds is needed is great.

Yes. Yes. It was very apparent to see the OL unable to handle simple twists by the DL. Stuff that good high school teams can do- idk if it’s the C/QB not making correct protection calls (idk who the allow) or not either.
Dekkers can’t seem to see where pressure is coming from AND drops his eyes and takes them off receivers when pressured.

1 touchdown against the worst big 12 defense.
Not a drum I’ve been beating until today. In over their heads. They get paid hundreds of thousands to coach guys to be prepared and we’re repeatedly under-prepared.
The D-line for KU was running stunts...our O-line was running some man to man blocking scheme that was terrible...whoever was in charge of that blocking scheme and refused to adjust has got to go.
It's not play calling either. Although that's bad as well. It's constant missed blocks, constant penalties, never stretching a defense, abandoning the run because the line can't execute a simple off tackle run, having the whole line collapse with one injury, failed execution on simple blitz scehemes.
We got beat by a team that tried to give us this game, they managed one offensive td and we still lost.
What's wrong on offense can't be fixed either. Not with this group leading them.

If Campbell wants to be great I honestly believe he is overdue for a course correction of this offense. Defense deserves more. Gave up 7 points off of a couple tough breaks from the refs, and 7 points off a short field from the offense.
The OL had zero effort it was bizarre. Simmons and downing just shuffling around missing guys. Zero attitude. Part coaching and part on the players
We finally get a QB who can throw 60 yards sitting on his ass cheeks and we can’t stop calling 4 yard crossing routes on 3rd and 7
It amazes me watching how much push an average P5 offensive line can get and we are getting stood up and the defense is shedding blocks like no tomorrow. There has never been any push ever, especially when all that is needed is a half yard. I have said this a long time ago about Meyers, not trying to be negative just the reality. The so called “experience” sure hasn’t or ever shown.
In year 7 to have this poor excuse for an OL is ridiculous - no more excuses!
