wow. Not a spectacular offensive show by the first team but ALOT to be excited about. The weather was **** so KU knew ISU was going to run Montgomery and not throw a wet ball all over. No big deal.
Random thoughts- DC Heacock is outstanding (I know it’s Kansas) 5:00 minutes left and 1 td in 6 qtrs.
There is NFL talent at ISU at multiple positions on both sides of the ball!
There appears to be swagger on the team right now.
Lanning was very good today and I bet he throws the ball on offense in the weekend to come.
Great things ahead.

Slow down the KU-induced koolaid.

Just ruined it for everybody...

 

[Dannynoonan]

Ok. There isn’t any NFL talent here. Is that better? There will be members of this team in the NFL, no doubt. This has nothing to do with a bad KU team, but you seem to know I guess.

 

[CycloneErik]

I think his idea was to enjoy the win without getting crazy.
We're a lot better than we were the last few years, but Kansas is a special kind of awful, too.

The single biggest difference between this and the Rhoads teams, even Campbell's team last year, is how securely they tackle and get multiple guys to the ballcarrier on defense. A huge change.

Much better.

Yep.

I have not felt this good about the team at this point in the season since....damn. 2009? Maybe? 2005? 2002?! Loving my Cyclones and their standing in the Big 12. Bring on the Red Ragdolls!

They played the worst college football team I've ever seen.

Even with those teams I always felt the sense of an inevitable swift decline. This feels different. Not just building towards an insight.com bowl every 4 years.

I feel there are 4 big differences between Campbell's teams and Rhoads' teams....

* Tackling (as you said)
* WR's and TE blocking
* Attitude (not getting too high or too low off wins or losses)
* Playing clean football- less turnovers and penalties

They also are playing to win instead of playing not to lose.

Holy crap!! Did anyone else notice all the ISU players leaving the sidelines and heading to the locker room and quickly returning all throughout the game?? I must have seen at least 10 players do this, and one time 3 of them left at the same time.
The first time I saw it, I thought maybe they were changing cleats, but then it was still going on well into the second half. Is there a case of the flu running through the FB program?

 

[dirtyninety]

If we win out...and the PAC 12 champ is a 2 loss team, there is a pretty good chance we play for the national championship.

Maybe they had to pee. You would be surprised how often guys pee on the sideline when their uniforms wont show it. You gotta go, you gotta go.

First thing I thought of. Well done.
