K State looked bad, ISU got better as the game went on. Becht can throw the ball and our DBs are suspect. Their D looked decent as well, athletic linebackers. If we can run against them, it'll be a game. If not, we're toast.

I trust Phil, just not sure we have the talent at the position. Love to be proven wrong. We'll know in week 2 , ISU will throw against 'em. Indiana in week 4 will show if they've grown. If not, could be a long season.

Thats almost a given under KFz

Ball control is nice, if you score too. So, is there a general assumption that defenses tire before offenses? That would seem to be the underlying logic. I've always thought reducing the number of possessions was a we're not as good so we have to keep the score down to have a shot admission.

Make it an even 16 so there are no byes

That's the concern. We're thin at corner and last year they were up and down.

Great to hear that the D line is strong. Secondary looks to be a little suspect so pressure will be important.

If we can show any consistent threat with the passing game, it will only make the run game better. That's my hope.

This. Many like to rip James but he was ruined by Davis. He led the B1G in yards/game was 23/5 TD/INT. That's no fluke. The kid could sling it.

Always thought Stanley was underappreciated. He had a bad game against Penn St and that seemed to shadow him. The guy made a lot of plays, won 3 bowls, 2nd all time in passing yards, 2nd in TDs. Not too shabby.

Coaching is like politics...once you're "in the club" you're set no matter what.

He milked Nebbie for Millions. Doesn't give a damn what anybody thinks, he's set for life.

Hard to believe. Maybe he just lost interest. I recall a stat (all beit an old one) that if you were 7ft tall in the US you had a 1 in 3 chance of playing in the NBA.

I think level of competition is a big factor. A kid like Foster was just bigger than almost everybody he faced. He was never challenged.
