    Agree. 13 points is first half with the field position ISU got was very good. Then two pick sixes for 14 is second half is only scoring.

    I still think if we can learn to hang on to the ball then we win MVFC and make deep run in playoffs. Yes, I think it can happen.

      We are not used to seeing this as Panther fans. That was a beatdown....or a "beat yourself up", or.....who knows. It was just awful.

        Re: meltdown thread

        I'm just stymied. We started the year thinking this was going to be a total rebuild year, with the loss of the offensive and defensive lines. Then we came out looked good through most of the NDSU game. We were all impressed with the wildcat way that Rennie ran the first game, but the first signs came against NDSU with our inability to operate in the red zone. Things have only gotten worse. Maybe Rennie needs more maturity in our system. Maybe we just don't have what we need at the quarterback position as a whole. Maybe our offensive coordinator isn't doing a very good job. I don't know.

        I'm not an expert on the game of football. I'm just a fan. And I'm quickly becoming an optimistic but deeply disappointed fan.

          scoring inside the 10 has been a problem the last few years

            pick a QB and give him all the snaps in practice and go from there.

            I don't think either of them is the answer but damn, they have to move forward.

              I totally agree, which doesn't mean crap but so what.

                What do we have - 1200 yards and 36 points this season?

                -8 on turnovers??

                Our kicking (kickoffs, FGs, and EPs) aren't going to win us any games either.

                  Just now on the postgame, when Gary asked Farley what he saw tonight, he said he didn't see anything. We didn't play hard enough, we didn't do what needed to be done, but all we did was show up on the field tonight.

                  Anyone wish they were going to be a player at practice Monday?

                    The defense was outstanding. ISU might have won their last game tonight.

                    The QB play is on the coaches, coach better or recruit better. Whatever the problem is the coaches have to fix it. THe players are what they are, and they recruited them.

                      I thought I heard Gary say something about Zach Davis getting injured. I didn't get to see the game (perhaps that was a blessing) and the postgame show didn't come in too well so I may have not heard correctly. Can anyone verify this?

                        Re: meltdown thread

                        i think a little credit needs to go to iowa st's coaching staff....they were well prepared for our running game and as of now rennie doesn't pass well under pressure. it def seemed like they were blitzing almost every play. i'd like to see rennie give the ball to carlos more instead of always pulling it out and running...it seems like it would be pretty easy to defend at times.

                        i would not like to be a player come monday

                          yeah, didn't look to good on TV, but they never said what it was...shoulder maybe?

                            how about some pitch plays or something, I like the option and they need to run it more. Except when Stratman is in the game, he should be a pass blocker only.

                              Thanks UPP! Hopefully it's not too bad. I think we're going to need both QBs this season.
