Ben Bruns one question at half was fantastic. Well it was really just a statement.

What was it?

Special ******* teams....

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

So alamo bowl right guys?

If it doesn’t get any closer, then I’d say probably

 

[sdclone]

I'm afraid our defense is going to get too gassed in the second half.

Can someone explain why you don't try 3 heaves downtown's when behind at half every time? I only have watched football, never played it. So I don't understand the downside. Anyone know the theory? Isn't it just as hard to return an interception 60 yards as it is to make a big catch to get you in FG range?

1. We suck at FGs 2. If it's an int with time left OU could add on to their lead. 3. Momentum shifts 4. We get the ball to start the 2md half, don't make it worse before you get there.

Love our team in the second half of games. Would feel ok if it was 17-7. Can’t give up that last KO and drive if you want to be a champ.

Northwestern is putting up a better game. We had two weeks to prepare for a beating

They're also not playing a team at its full strength or even a team that's necessarily as good as OU has been.

Because more things can go wrong than right. A int or fumble could be 6 points for the other team

Probably yells "3 seconds!" an entire basketball game too.

More like "Traveling! That's traveling!!" Something else that happens on almost every play.

**** the officals

I missed that. What was it?

5. We are Iowa State

Time management was terrible on the touchdown drive. We needed to kill the clock.

They left a minute on the clock. If we don’t completely breakdown on special teams or if they actually throw a flag on one of the 15 holds that took place on the kick it’s a totally different situation

 

[Drew0311]

We should just onside kick everytime. It eliminates the return and we might get the ball

 

[cyclones500]

What a bummer. If it was 10 at half, that's one good drive away from a tight game. Now I just don't know what's realistic.

 

[cytown]

Would be a 3 pt game if we weren’t getting jobbed by the OU refs. Need a quick score out of the half.

 

[atlantacyclone]

I think that we can still win this but we need momentum...

 

[pulse]

It was something like “other than the terrible officiating which you can’t comment on....etc”
