Re: My Thoughts Iowa State

Take the dropped passes away from Rennies numbers (yes, I realize this can't actually be done) and I'd bet he was 15-24...turn half of those into completions and we are looking at 19-20...that is probably unrealistic but the routes that were called were SO MUCH BETTER than they were last year (granted I only saw the second half due to NeuLion being run by idiots with IQ's of 2.


The biggest two problems I see, and saw last year are the drops by WR (yes they were a fairly big problem last year, but people were so bent on hating Rennie they didn't see them) and the field position we give up on kick offs and punts.


Oh how I miss Brooke Black seemingly pinning every punt inside the 10

Brooke Black punted a total of maybe 8 punts in a panther uniform before our current punter came in and took his job away from him...

according to the stats archive, Black had 1 punt in 2007 (40 yards, inside the 20), and 62 punts in 2008 (39.9 yd average, 21 inside the 20, 2 blocked)

That is incorrect, and he was a fantastic punter. His last year he was absolutely great for us.

Re: My Thoughts Iowa State

Kyle is a pretty solid punter though. He had a bad game, no doubt, but I don't think that was an indicator of the year to come. First game jitters?

There shouldn't be first game jitters for a 3rd year starter, I think it might be the case of lack of competition since Krusey transferred out.

Who knows. Jack Trice isn't necessarily a punters paradise, it usually seems breezy when I'm there. Wasn't there Sat. night but just an observation from past experiences.

Rhoads is really high on your QB, he has nothing but good things to say about him.

More people should be. He performed very well on Sat.

I was unaware that Black punted for us in 2008. I was wrong. I really don't even know who I thought it was in his place. I just remember him having the job and then us playing at ISU and him not being our punter, perhaps that was 2007? Or did Kyle take his job in 09' and maybe that is what I am thinking of.

there was a significant breeze Saturday night. There was not a flag in the stadium that wasn't pointing straight toward the south end zone. Just so happened to the be that 5 of our 7 punts were right into that breeze, 1 of the 2 that were with it was as I said in another thread snapped from ISU's 37 yard line (give or take a yard, I am sure Jay will spend an hour of his life looking up the exact stat to prove me wrong...jk)

an hour? wow, I'm not THAT slow at looking up stats. more like a minute. (and it was from the ISU 42). Also, it was early in the 4th quarter, and weren't we going INTO the wind on the first and 4th qtrs? (wind had somewhat died down by then).

IIRC, Brook petitioned for an extra year of eligibility that was denied right before the '09 season and thus, Kyle had to kick as a true Fr.

This is correct because he only played 3 years of college ball but that took him 5 years to do.
