I think I may have found an error in the article. This statement seems too outrageous to be a part of the history of Iowa State football:

...as 23rd-ranked Iowa State...

We were #8 (I think) two weeks before that, going in to the Oklahoma game.

Seems like a misprint now, but I almost remember that season when we were ranked 9th. Before we went to OU and got crushed... What a year, both up ("the run") and down (blue turf, anyone?)

I remember that well. 6-1 with the only loss to FSU @ Arrowhead. Absolutely drilled by Oklahoma by 40 or so. It is hard to believe we were a top 10 team not that long ago - although probably over ranked in reality.

One thing about Tiller is we all should be excited about him. Heard nothing but good things about him. However Arnaud did a heck of a job last year and he'll probably end up starting until he graduates.

That being said we know Arnaud isn't invincible and I hope Tiller gets some time in some early blowouts. (Please let them be blowouts). I'd love to have a capable backup so we don't have to run Austen out there when he's hurt like we did last season.

I was listening to Pete call that one, while working on the farm. I had to be away from the radio right before the start of the drive, and got back right after the score. After that game I was confident we would take care of business against UCONN and be sitting at 8-4. Whoops.

Beer and dougnuts worked for me.

WE should have been 7-0 we got SCREWED at Arrowhead. Seneca was IN

Imo, the low point of that year was UCONN. At least on the smurf turf we were losing to a good team at their place, rather than choking to a ****-bag at home. That was the day I started to doubt Danny Mac...

I would like to see him get some game experience this year too, but hopefully it's only because we are blowing somebody out.

That score plus the kick would have tied, right? Would we have gone for 2? Our overtime record, all time, is not-so-good (1-6, with the lone victory being the triple overtime against Toledo.) Our OT woes in 04-05 make me wary of any OT... 05 was particularly bad (NU and KU...) Go for 2 to break the tie and avoid OT!

Everyone knows that no matter how much experience the starter has, the backup would be much better and probably better than any QB in the country. Just ask an EIU fan to explain it to you.

Actually, Mac said that they had made the decision to go for two prior to the end of the game.

To be fair, last year they were right.
