Not For Weak Stomachs

A scan down the conference stats puts a glaring spotlight on just how anemic the ISU offense has been in its first four conference games.

Scoring offense: last at 11 ppg.
Pass offense: 11th
Rush offense: 10th
Total offense: last
Pass efficiency: 11th
First Downs: 9th
3rd Down conversions: 9th
Red Zone offense: last, 7-13, with only 4 TD's. OU is 13-13 with 10 TDs. Small difference, eh?
On bright spot: ISU is second on the biggest non-stat category: Time Of Possesion. ISU's running backs stay inbounds! Yeah!

The most damning of those numbers is the Red Zone disaster. If that 4 TD number was 8 or 9, our conversations would be very different.

Until ISU can push those numbers up to the middle of the pack, it is going to be touch sledding.
