    Herman's ego can't be too pleased seeing the reports that Iowa State knew the plays pre-snap due to the predictability / tipping based on formation....considering his genius and all.

    I may be wrong, but it would not shock me in the least if we don't see an uptick in illegal formation, motion, and delay of game penalties if he's hurriedly trying to add window dressing to the base plays this week.  

    Running your base offense out of multiple formations and with motion window dressing is good football, but that shit should have been installed in camp, and not in late November after being held to 50-something rushing yards by a defense which was evidently taunting the offense that they knew what was coming.

    Don't believe every piece of 9.95 fan fiction you read

    The most depressing thing is that literally ONE WEEK AGO, we executed a masterful 13 play, nearly 7 minute drive to end the game.

    That drive contained 4 completed passes totaling 55 yards, including a first play pass for 14 that put the defense on its heels.  

    It also contained ZERO incomplete passes.

    This exact same team just showed that they are capable of executing a drive like this, and the Head Coach still chooses to turtle when he has the game on the line.  Disgraceful.

    Not to mention the two previous drives in the same game that got us the lead

    Why?  We only ran 1:01 off the clock and forced Iowa State to call 1 of their 2 timeouts as it was.  Iowa State wasn't going to run out of time before scoring.  If anything they would have scored too soon if not for us jumping offside on the fg attempt.  If we were going to give up on killing the final 4:01 when we got the ball back, we should have just punted on 1st down to give Sam even more time to lead the game winning drive.

    Mehringer should be standing on a table and screaming at Beck to use Eagles like the TO starter kit that he is (minus the mental issues).

    He's too busy making that case for Epps

  5. When we got the ball back with 4:01left in the game we had scored TDs on our previous 2 drives to take the lead.

    The first of those 2 drives, which started in the 3rd quarter and carried over into the 4th, went 80 yards on 10 plays.  All 10 plays were passes.

    The next drive went 89 yards on 15 plays.  The drive started with a Sam run for 10 yards and a 1st down, a pass for another 1st down, and a Sam run for 9 yards where he should have had the 1st down but got a shitty spot on where he started his slide.  I believe both of Sam's runs were scrambles but I could be misremembering.  Anyway, facing 2nd and 1, Keontay was stuffed for no gain.  We converted the 3rd down on another pass, the first of 7 straight pass plays (9 if you count the 2 negated by penalty).  At the end of that stretch, we converted on 2nd and 35 with a 30 yard pass to Eagles and a 26 yard pass to Duv.   That set up 1st and goal at the 7.  Sam was stuffed on a designed run.  We then threw 3 more times, finally getting the td on 4th down (herpderp, mensa goes for too many 4th downs!!1!)

    For more context, for the game we finished with 2.1 ypc.  Our RBs had 1.9 ypc.  In the 1st half we had a record number of 3 and outs trying to establish the run and execute the game plan.

    With all that said, how fucking obvious is it that we should have approached that drive with 4:01 left just like our previous 2 drives?  We had to be agressive, throw the ball, and pick up 1st downs until Iowa State had no timeouts and we could go into victory formation.  The 1:01 we burned off the clock and the one timeout they called meant jackshit.  Iowa State wasn't going to run out of time after we punted.  Hell, if we hadn't jumped offside on the fg, we would have gotten the ball back with 2 minutes.  If the worst had happened and we went 3 and out with 3 incompletions?  We would have been set up to get the ball back with an extra 45 seconds.

    With the ball and 4:01 left, our offense could have won the game by scoring or killing the clock, or our defense could have won the game with a stop after we punted it away.  Tom chose not to really try for the 1st option.

    Friendly reminder that TFH is not CDC's hire and may not be his guy.

    Perrin hired him because he was the latest G5 flavor of the month and the BMDs wanted him. But, do they still want him after this shit-show? Has anybody reached out to Urban Meyer's agent? Is there another HC worth making a change for that UT can actually get? 

    And because he was sucking up to our houston bmds while employed at cougar high
