There’s a good chance we’ll have trouble at Indiana State. Agree with the O Line comments.

I think maybe the win at CSU made us, team and fans, think we were better than we really are. Outside of that game we have shown nothing.

Sometimes you gotta just get out of Dodge. Been there - get that. But for what it's worth Michigan PSU pretty good so far.

this blowout really hurts our playoff chances no matter what happens the last 2 weeks. coaches need to look deep ... nobody was ready to play today.

sorry 4th but this is not a playoff worthy team
at this point, I agree. but we were on a nice track early ... we had some impressive games. I realize our schedule was easy early, but it wasn't like NDSU or SDSU steam rolled us all game ... we played them even statistifcally, even while gettting beat soundly .. so it's not like we were rolling over against best teams in country.

But we're young and the good teams just figured us out. Maybe the players and coaches bought to easily into all the early season promise and hype .. and now when games got truly tough, we can't handle it ... and their confidence is now shot and all the mojo is gone. Today's game is just the total breaking point of a fairly young team ... and we look horrendous everywhere.

I'm thinking UNI assumed we weren't allowed to throw a deep pass .. that looked too easy.

Closing this score up will help our playoff chances .. UNI will be highly ranked by end of season. The committee doesn't care when you scored ... close losses to NDSU, SDSU, and UNI will not look bad in eyes of committee.

Doesn't change fact that we played horribly today ... but Ill take playoffs any way I can get it.

We always have an excuse. Too young, it takes time to adjust to the speed of the college game, the OC, the new OC, the new DC, the new kicker, the uniforms aren't broken in...next year it will be a QB controversy. It's ALWAYS something! Maybe we just don't have the horses or the coaching??

Or both. Honestly, at this point the finger has to be directly pointed at Spack.

Hopefully, for his sake, Robsinson transfers. This team has no idea how to use him.
Embarassing

We are going to beat Indiana State? I think it’s a toss-up at best.

Those weren’t close losses. All three of those games were over at halftime.

I believe after this shit show of a season ends........all things should be on the table.

I cannot believe this is the same team I saw a few weeks ago. Everyone involved should be totally embarrassed. I know I am.

The program is mentally weak.

Agreed.
Always easy to close the gap, score-wise, with garbage points against a prevent 2nd string defense.
So sick of mediocrity from all things ISU. I mean, for crying out loud, even our academic ranking is starting to slip.
Time to put all the athletic budget into basketball and pray to God that we can make the tournament once every 25 years or so.

The good thing....the REDBIRDS are now 9-0 if we only looked at the second half points. The BIRDS have won every second half this year.

Brock made ISU football relevant again. Certainly way too early to be giving up on him, the staff and this team going forward. Certainly not happy w last 3 weeks but I believe we will continue to be a good program
