ISU NCAA stats

[ISUCC]

really should come as no surprise, but ISU ranks last or near last in many NCAA stats after the first 5 games.

they're dead last in scoring offense and scoring defense, which of course, makes sense.

The scoring defense is misleading, as they have played better that that stat (other than giving up 400+ yards rushing last week). We have to find a way to keep the offense on the field longer, even if they are not scoring.

I know the passing game is not where it needs to be yet, as Miles has noted, but I think we have to pass a little bit more. We aren't going to dominate many teams at the line of scrimmage and run it down their throats, not with younger players and no threat of a passing attack. We've seen that the guys can throw. Let's try it a little more. Maybe teams get more interceptions, but as much as we've been fumbling the ball it wouldn't be that big of a difference. I agree, we need to give the defense a break.
