The Big 12 refs killed us in the first half, but we still only trailed by three at halftime. The third quarter is where the game was lost. Our offense did nothing, but the real surprise is our defense. Our defense usually gets better in the second half. It was a shock how our defense struggled in the second half. I don’t know how we allowed Baylor to go on that 93 yard drive. Very troubling.
Holy s#§t the refs tossed one of ISU’s best defenders a minute into the game what do you want them to do?
I agree, however, I’m burned out on the inability to win these games. I know my expectations are way too optimistic, but we lose by a score or less a lot - seemingly. I know we will bounce back. My hope is we flip the script.
Keep hearing that we need to do the little things. Then I watch us and see the clones making so many mistakes. This has to be addressed by the coaches but we will see.
Freyler basically hasn't played since SEMO so that's not an excuse.
I think it was pretty late in the game when he left. Yeah we have other guys to fill in with experience, but Freyler is probably our best defensive player behind McDonald. Its hard to replace a guy that good.
They were on the field a lot. Pretty sure we only had two or three first downs
When you don’t have speed at the linebacker position to fill gaps and play sideline to sideline, this is what you get with a three man front.
After watching the games today...Iowa State better get their act together or they can expect 10th place in this league. All the teams looked pretty darn good...except ISU. Disappointing day. Good Night.
That is exactly what I have been thinking watching the rest of the Big 12 today. Yes, I know it was only one conference game, but if I had to put together a power ranking of the Big 12 teams after this week I would put Iowa State dead last. I know that there is a lot of football to be played, but that is where we currently sit. Hopefully, we can start to turn things around at Kansas next week.
