Correct me if wrong, but were in year 3, and we should be developing and recruiting better players, Right? Frost first season was better with Riley players- that sums up what direction were going in..........down!

Yep-we suck a$$.

We dont have 5 star talent- if that was what 5 meant?

The whole system is a failure. Nothing but a failure. Its time to do something different, anything , but something!

This staff is so impossible. Run the ball, get first downs, and win the game. Simple. We overthink and outsmart ourselves, not the other team!

Now add in some Luke at WR and see what happens!

We will be fine until we get another bad snap. Thats when the wheels seem to ball off this bus.

Finally a positive start to a half!

Wow, we can run the ball and we can score!

IOwa is slow at the edges. Keep attacking the edges!

Just need something positive this first possession. Doesn't have to be any points, but something positive.

I dont have an issue with Luke playing, but lets call plays that benefit him and the entire offense. Option or I -formation or what ever, but this spread passing game isn't working regardless of who is QB. Time to change something other than QB's every other possesion. Scheme is terrible when you have 4 star players who can't seem to make things happen at QB. Its something other than the player.(s) Run the damn ball!

Fricking typical. Throw that ball to the pylon and you score six. Throw at the green spot in front of the pylon and well thats what it is.

I would kill to see the option once, just one time this game. Iowa is slow on the edges.

We need to see all of our freshmen on offense right now. Especially at receiver. Put them all in and run fly patterns down the field, something different than what we have been doing.! Anything but what we have been doing right now. Anything!

Thank goodness Iowa QB just threw it right to us. He had plenty of time however

Well we won't get shut out today at least.............Luke is the fastest player on the field, so why wouldn't we try him at WR with Adrian at least for a few plays before we make the switch. We don't have any WR who can get open.

We can b!^@h about Chin all we want, but this team has way more issues than its defense right now. Every unit sucks, and therefore the defense usually gets the brunt of the crap. Special teams suck allowing punt returns to the 50 and beyond and our offense can't stay on the field long enough for our defense to ever sit for a few. So I do agree that Chin isn't our best coach, but right now he sure isn't our worst either. Its a dog pile effect, and were always at the bottom no matter what

This team just plays harder with Luke on the field. Simple. The team has spoken and Luke is the man right now. Adrian has lost this team and they won't put the same effort out. Sad.

Our defense is bending, but not breaking (yet) but if we keep giving them short fields its just a matter of time. Were going to get a beat down if we don't do something on offense

Agreed. But the issue is soon as our QB's feel any heat, there out there running. If I was the WR's I would just quit running routes and just stay and block. Getting stupid and predictable

So if this is the case, and I do agree, then why are we running a scheme thats based on having a quarterback who is elite and receivers to match? If you can run the ball, control the line, you will win more games than you lose.

We have to trust in Frost. We don't have a choice at this point. We can hope that he wakes up and realizes his system is not going to work here. Osborne realized that, and he was winning games, just not beating OU. Power football is our only way back into the conversation. I don't care what it takes. I don't care what version of an offense we chose to run, but it can't be the same as all the other Top 25 teams are using, because we can't recruit against most of them at this point. My second rant will also not be supported much by most people, but moving to the Big 10 has caused us to lose our pride in football. This conference, only cares about its bell cows as well. Sure we make all this money, but at the end of the day, we sacrificed this program for that dough. We don't belong in this conference. We can't recruit to this conference. In the next few years, I hope some consideration goes toward getting back to our roots in the Big 12. Finding our old rivals, and maybe finding our football pride back as well.

My question right now is what advice has T.O. provided during this stretch? Ozzy'a first few years were tough as well, and he switched up his style after a few seasons as well.

I would rather have Callahan than what we have now. At least CAllahan teams would put up some points and he actually recruited some talent. I really don't see enough talent yet on this roster. Just kidding about Callahan.
