ISU vs UNLV postgame thread

The motto today is...

Can't spot anyone 21 points and expect to win. Defense just didn't have enough gas for one last stand. Great offensive effort in the 2nd half and a pretty decent defensive effort in the 2nd half too.

On the bright side...

They have 2 weeks to sort this out. We'll get back on track.

I don't think there is any question now that AA should be our starting QB. Just a gutsy performence by him and the entire offense.

What is it about this team that no matter how we win or lose, every week I have more hope.

The offense in the second half looked as good as it has anytime in the last two years. It looked abysmal in the first.

Im sick of talking about winning halfs of football. You give credit to the guys for coming back. But the effort in the first half was ______.(fill in the blank)

2nd half is how they should be playing. Hope they can keep it up. Loss still hurts since the 1st have was so bad. Bass is going to get touches now. Forgot how they got to OT when they were playing in OT.

now we know how toledo felt when blythe did that twice on back to back plays

Hope JJ is out of the dog house now. He provided a spark IMO.

Well, ISU could easily be 4-0. A young team that has made a TON of mistakes. I don't think a ton qualifies it well enough but I don't know what would. Hopefully they correct them but these penalties are absolutely killing ISU.

I said it last week and I'll say it again. Iowa State Athletics: Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda

**Dolokaju** · 09-20-2008, 11:29 PM

here is a thought...why not go for 2 at the end? Going to OT v. an offense that had 450 yards against you vs. needing 3 yards for the win...

**redrocker** · 09-20-2008, 11:29 PM

great second half effort. wish we could have pulled it out. IT was a great second half to watch, I about turned it off at half time.

**Rogue52** · 09-20-2008, 11:29 PM

I'm heart broken.

Totally agree. That first half was beyond any sort of excuse. That was one of the worst displays of football I've ever seen. As awful as it was, the second half ALMOST made up for it.

ALMOST.

Receivers need to work on catching the damn ball and Arnaud needs to work on not trying to guide the ball in there (forcing it to go high) but just being confident on every pass and throwing it.

Defense - still horrible tackling - but got better intensity in the 2nd half.
