No but he looked like he was afraid to pass it….At least Kohl isn’t afraid to run the ball.

Listening to him speak to the media is like getting a slow root canal.I think it's clear Campbell will never say anything bad about his players to the press and if that means he's says things that drive fans crazy then so be it. I just don't pay attention to what he says to the media anymore.
Dude could be wearing Lester Hayes stick‘em and still wouldn’t catch it.Tired of our "star" wide receiver, dropping every pass...and letting kicks bounce instead of catching them.
JN couldnt catch anything last year, I thought he was supposed to be better this year.
The dude should not see another minute until, he learns to catch, or they buy an extreme amount of super stick em.
It all starts with the o-line play IMO. Hopefully that trends up over the next couple years and I think it will. Up until a couple years ago our offense was fine.And more frustrating than that is the fact that our offense doesn't work especially well against teams not named Iowa, so even the reasoning of "Iowa is just a bad matchup for us" falls flat.
Did you watch the UNI game? He isn’t ready. JFC Kohl is not the answer right now. Say what you want about Dekkers but he absolutely f*cked this team!
Hayden Fry had unbelievable asst coaches.Not a popular opinion, but Hayden Fry was a good ******* football coach. If I were a coach in this state I’d probably take the lead from him whether that’s at Iowa or ISU.
Madguy30, did you go to Illinois and visit a dispensary? Because sharing is caring.My initial prediction was 5-7 wins and I'll stick with it.
Get a couple of bounces and 7 is possible.
Well, I think we can all at least agree that Campbell "doesn't seem to mind" losing to Iowa.

The lack of urgency is maddening. It's been around awhile now though. If you think back to Brock's senior year and all the slow starts, followed by furious late second half rallies that fell short....I don't know, it's like he always thinks we have 5 quarters or something.
Some of you guys need to accept the fact that Iowa is a terrible matchup for us and move on. Yeah it sucks listening to all the Tavern hold but good god You this isn’t the whole season.
Really dislike that quote from Campbell. Finding positives is perfectly fine, but trying to make things sound okay after that last quarter of football is weak. He doesn't seem to have that killer instinct that most football coaches do. It's odd.
He's not from here, so he doesn't give a s**t. But all of us fans care a lot about it.
This was a another key passage from Campbell's postgame comments:
Q: How tough a team is Iowa to come back on when they get up double digits on you?
A: You know, you don't want to get behind, but that's football, right? Like, it's gonna happen. To me, I was almost, like, waiting for it to happen at some point to our team and see how we responded and so that's college football in a nutshell. Like, it's "yeah, get off to a great start." You know, I chuckle - like you've heard me say it a million times, "okay, great, well we'd love to," but that's not always going to happen so how do you respond when you don't. And man I thought we passed a huge test there today.
Talk about an understatement. It's as if we're allergic to it.

VIDEO: Matt Campbell Press Conference Post-Iowa
Head coach Matt Campbell met with the media to discuss Iowa State's performance in 20-13 loss against the Iowa Hawkeyes. https://youtu.be/mAB75L7hmsMcyclonefanatic.com
Doesnt have to be that way. Theyre a terrible matchup because we play right into their favorite style.Some of you guys need to accept the fact that Iowa is a terrible matchup for us and move on. Yeah it sucks listening to all the Tavern hold but good god You this isn’t the whole season.
He was 'waiting for it to happen at some point to our team'? Wow. Now he just assumes we're going to get a FG blocked, or throw a pick 6, etc?
It's as if he was happy to see us get down 17-0 just to see how we would respond. And we responded to being down 17 pts by running up the middle? Wow... great response coach!
Add to it the atmosphere in JTS has been killed by moving student section.
All in all yesterday was one of my least favorite ISU games of all time (and that’s saying something as a kid that went to most games in second half of 80s into 90s). I know the department needs money but it feels like everything that was good about Gameday gets gutted.
