Now I'm worried about Pittsburg

[ArizonaHawkeye88]

If we can't beat a weak Big12 team, how are we going to beat an average to good Pittsburg team? I hope the coaches look at their performance as well as the players. It's time to kick butt in practice and find out who wants to play.

ISU is always an anomoly. Don't panic yet.

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

Rightfully so.


Pittsburg is going to try and do the same with it's fast paced Offensive tempo.

 

[Hawkfromnorwalk]

Pittsburgh is going to give our D fits.

I'm worried about every single game on our schedule.

After today, I'm trying to take it one game at a time.

No. Pissburgh struggled with MAINE today. At home. They are not scary at all.

Iowa State struggled with UNI at home.

Pitt SHOULD scare you.

No. I don't apply transitivity to my analyses of football teams.

Yup. ISU will go on to lose to Kansas or something, and Iowa will beat MSU and Nebraska (and lose to NW) and we will all look at this game and only be able to say

Really? We were exposed today. I'll be thankful if we beat Minnesota and Purdue.

Teachable moments, and lots of them. I am not ready to write off the whole season just yet.

UNI > Maine. A lot can change in 1 week. Pitt has not been impressive and Iowa will have the advantage because the game is in Kinnick which is always a tough place to play. Don't start thinking this game is not winable

HFN, take a break tonight, watch a movie with your wife, chill out. You're off the deep end, buddy.

Yes. What worries me is something I saw in the Hurrican game we had in I.C and then much more of today. We do not have the stout defensive line we have had in the past. If I was playing us I'd run right at us. Something you would NOT do in the last 5 years...

Really? I haven't really said that much. Just venting a little. You have to sometimes just to stay sane. On top of that, I just can't stand losing to that shitstain of a program. I rather Indiana beat us.

You just sound ultra-tense and completely negative. Like, out of hope negative.
You're such a normally upbeat guy that it is scaring me.

We always play worse on the road and we always play better at home. Pitt struggled mightily in both of their games against very poor teams. We will win comfortably Saturday. This team will bounce back.

It's ISU. I haven't had to delve into this area of my psyche since 2007. It's a deep dark area of misery and hatred...

Yeah, I do think we will bounce back against Pitt next week, BUT... for the course of the season I do not think we will have the ability to stop teams over the course of a game. I dont think you "coach-up" the man to man work in the trenches. I think that's where we are weak this year, where we have not been for a long time.
