What worries you most about your team at this point in the season?

[HighTide]

1. QB play. First year starter is still learning the ropes to running the offense.

2. Special teams. Specifically coverage on kickoffs and punts. Thankfully our place kicker also played LB in high school.

Nah we kick the shit outta PSU WAY more than we do ISU

Iowa's record versus...

Penn State...12-11
Iowa State...37-17

^LOL

I'm worried that our outstanding QB play will cease, as it would be hard to maintain such a high level of performance all season.

Yeah but most of the losses to PSU came in the 70's and early 80's ( 8-1 vs PSU last 9) and 15 straight wins vs ISU came during the early 80's to mid 90's ( 6-4 in the last 10)

1. entire offense, minus David Wilson and a couple receivers.

2. entire special teams

I thought Beamer Ball was based around special teams?

typically, special teams are nothing to worry about for VT fans...this year...different story...major question mark, and i do not like it.

The "let-down." After winning 3 big games, I hope they stay focused and don't get too cocky. I've always believed that if you are any good, you have to be a little cocky and arrogant. The 2nd string should get some experience in the next two games, but we'll see.

the NCAA!!!

FIFY

QB and his development (lack of)

offensive coordinator - can a brutha get some offense

young WRs are scrawny and weak - they struggle breaking press coverage

 

[Volbound1700]

Well let's see:

1. Youth
2. Running Game
3. Defense
4. Special Teams
5. Replacing Justin Hunter at WR
6. Lost the only game against top competition we have had so far
7. Playing Alabama and LSU

 

[OnlyCrimson]

Redzone play calling. Other than that I think we are in good shape.

He was talking recently, not when Paterno actually could think for himself

The water boy is seriously underachieving this year.

 

[GunsUp_ShootinBlanks]

Slow starts, defense, tackling, run defense, bend then break defense, defense.

QB
OL can't protect the QB for more than the first 15 mins

 

[grayghost668]

turnovers

 

[TexasFight98VI]

Young QBs
DTs not clogging running lanes
young secondary

Young team period. 18 freshmen receiving tons of playing time.........

 

[Uman5]

the complete lack of tackling (outside of sean spence)is atrocious.

offense cant complete plays (except lamar miller)

#1 Tackling.
#2 Lack of mental fortitude, toooooo many drive stopping penalties.
#3 We have a 320lb average OL, blocking has been suspect.
#4 Play calling on the goal line. The KSU game was pitful on the last drive to win it.

That may be the one thing that could keep Miami in the game.
