    The last several years, our defense carried this team, while we were looking for some offense.  This year, we find an offense that can put points on the board, and the defense just disappears.  We gotta have both on the same page if we are going to make more progress with this program.

    Yep.  Reminds me of the 90's.  We had a bad-ass D in the early 90' but no offense.  Mackovic arrives, fixes the offense, and the D goes to shit.

  2. Oh well.  At least I can enjoy the rest of the day's slate of games before the high blood pressure and ultimate meltdown at the end of our own game.  After the Maryland game, I didn't want to watch college football the rest of the day.

  3. I'm not a snowflake; however, the rule is as the rule is.  If they know it can be called - i.e. taunting - then call it.  If it's not taunting, according to the rules, then do it.

    i don't think todd orlando sucks, and in fact he has a pretty decent track record that says he doesn't suck. and the fact is that less than a year ago when he had holton hill, poona ford, deshon elliott, malik jefferson, et al our fan base was begging for the man to stay, praying to the gods that herman could keep him on our staff, lest he be lured away with a head coaching offer. so let's keep that in mind before we do what we always do and completely nuclear after a one point loss.

     i think that charlie strong left some talented upperclassmen with less than zero depth behind them, and i think that any coordinator would struggle to stop big xii offenses with a d line as invisible and inept as ours. we certainly need to upgrade all along the defensive front, there's no doubt about that, but orlando is a good coach who just isn't doing his best job this season. how much of that is on him and how much is on the sheer lack of talent and depth i don't know, but i'd bet good money that says if we had, say, the 2008 defensive line, that nobody would be complaining about todd orlando.

    Well I'm sure whoever Iowa States d coordinator/coach was, left them with so much talent with all their Top 10 recruiting classes.  Gave up 14 to the same team.  Stop making excuses.
