Thank God that ******** is over. Man, this team is bad.
I did not enjoy that game. But there were a few nice offensive bright points. I'm not certain, but we'll maybe have to have one more team that good this year.
Game was interesting for almost two quarters. After the punt-block, I knew there was no hope.
Some positive signs from the offense in first half, but it became clear OU didn't care, it could shred our defense at will.
Fortunately, most of the remaining opponents aren't as good ... we have a 50-50 chance of winning two or three.

Not terribly surprised by the final margin, but surprised by the score. My optimist pick was a 10 point loss.
OU is really good on both sides of the ball this year, and had more talent, experience, depth and aggression.
Still happy with Rocco, and happy to see some improvement in the running game. Most happy to get this one over. Next few weeks are gettable.

Ou has some issues defensively, we just couldn't exploit them enough.
That was a plus but on the abysmal side was the offense. Good first half followed by Iowa/Ohio like showing in 2nd half.
The linebackers is what stood out most to me in terms of talent difference. OU is better across the board, but linebacker really stood out. Our guys are sloooow
They adjusted and shut ISU out from the early 2nd quarter that's a good Defense with one of the best Defensive minds in CFB. ISU surprised them with some new stuff it's coming along just young players.
Yes, listening on the radio... I will be interested in watching the replay, well, 1st half anyway.
Again, not being able to see the game, I wonder if teams are beginning to figure some of the weak spots in our defense? Must give credit to OU, they've got it going offensively. The TX v OU should be interesting.
That seems like an out of conference game now.
Yeah, It's not looking good for the future, as I think those guys are young as well. And the fact that we still have mostly the same O line that has struggled for like 3 years and no one has beat them out at their position. . .
Campbell needs to start hitting the portal harder. I don't think he's really trying. I know NIL hinders ISU, but I think even with that, we aren't seeing nearly enough movement there.
That does put the 1st half into perspective, doesn't it?
Yeah we don't have to pull out 15 guys from the portal but need to get a few guys to upgrade key positions. Use the Otzelberger model and go find guys at lower levels that fit your system.
We miss Will McDonald something awful. He was so productive and disruptive throughout his career. We don’t have anything resembling that right now.
