We were 1-3 at this point last year. We’re 2-2, so a better start than last year. Hopefully Baylor this year is our TCU game of last year.

We kinda need Baylor to fall apart now so we don't end up tied with them for 2nd at the end of the year or something since they now have the tie breaker over us.

Right. I’d also put Clemson in a significantly higher category of almost all, if not all, other teams in the country in regards to talent. Clemson is a first rate, fantastic team. I’m not trying to say ISU is anywhere near that level. Doesn’t make them a bad team.
Where did I say ISU is a bad team? Talk about struggling... It doesn't take Clemson level talent to beat a team you're projected to beat. But ISU couldn't. Doesn't make them bad, just illustrates that they haven't figured out how out to win close games.

I consider finishing to be winning the 4th quarter 21-3, oh wait, that was us.

By this logic you must think ISU finished the WV game in 2017.

They lost 20-16, but won 3-0 in the fourth quarter.

Didn't finish last year's win vs. Okie State though. Lost the 4th quarter 14-8.

Because the conversation I was having with the other person was they were saying ISU is a bad team.....

Interesting.

He did catch the ball with one foot in bounds, but before he landed out of bounds he bobbled it and never got another foot down again before regaining control again and landing out of bounds.
I think you are overestimating what you saw on that “bobble.” Looked like he did a pretty good job of controlling it all the way through. I would have expected it to be an int if it were us.

I just hope we beat TCU

TCU had their redeeming win today after a bad week last week.

Hopefully their not as on point coming into Ames.

Not an excuse but Baylor's bad performance last week was maybe better for them than ISU having such little resistance vs. ULM.

Both of the games you reference, and today, we had trouble starting, not finishing. All 3 of those games we were down double digits before the 4th quarter. Did we have opportunities at the end sure, but holding WV scoreless for 3 quarters can’t be blamed on the finish and winning the 4th today 21-3 can’t be blamed on the finish.

Beside Bailey, what were the other injuries? What happened to Milton. Wasn’t able to watch the second half.
This. What did ever come of Milton? Did they say anything after the game? I didn’t see anything on Twitter for our media about it.

I was joking but yeah a loss is a loss and giving up a scoring drive to lose the game means you didn't finish to win.

CW's post-game thought it was just a cramp or something.
