You really have to wonder if he is intentionally sabotaging the offense to appease his criminal daddy. You have games where Barnes looks like LT out there, and he gets less than 10 carries all game. We aren't even at the half and he's had over a dozen carries.... for about .7 YPC

It seems pretty clear Hoover is hurt and can't throw the long ball, but the offensive coaches are only fooling themselves with this gameplan because ISU seems pretty clear about the situation.

If Hoover is hurt get him out of the game NOW.
I think they see the three linemen and keep thinking they are going to get easy yards. They seem to forget after seeing this guy coach for 10 years that he is going to shut you down by making it look enticing and then smother you...even with the backups.

I don't understand what our offensive game plan is? Does Briles?
Agree. I don't normally put much stock in play calling criticism, but good grief! I am coming around to the fire Briles bandwagon!

I know there are problems with blocking, high throws, and plenty more, but this play calling is hard to fathom. I say that, but it sure seems like Iowa States knows exactly what we are going to do before Hoovet does.

Our 1st down offensive plays are so scheissing predictable. Run up the gut every scheissing time. 11 defensive players keying on our RB.
Zero or negative yards gained every time.
Hoover and Briles are made for each other, when they are feeling outmatched, they go into their shells and pucker up. Spread option up the gut is Briles give up move. Mind you spread option with no threat of the option part.

But then Sonny is calling it. He is either identical to Briles or not paying any attention.
