Biggest Choke in School History

Colorado, BYU, Alabama, Texas A&M and Ole Miss goes down!
We should've won this game by 3 touchdowns. Utah is not a good football team.
I was just getting ready to say ISU should have won by 3 tds. One of the most painful games to watch. It was hard to celebrate because it felt like it was going to be the worst ISU loss ever. I'm just glad Becht is great at game winning drives.
I just hope ISU plays it's best the next two weeks. They are due.

Historically this is a game that Iowa State loses. Classic snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Thankfully Rocco doesn’t give a **** about history.
They have a really good defense and have lost 4 games by less than 7. They’re basically us in 2022.
There are some similarities to Iowa…coach has been there a quarter century, way better on defense than offense, immobile stiff QB gets hurt and the backup who can move is immediately better, similar home atmosphere.
Agreed. Every mistake we made tonight resulted in points for Utah. Hell of a finish!
If we score on the drive that we throw the pick-six, I think that effectively would have been the game, with the way our D was playing. 14 point swing and I think Utah starts pressing in the passing game. Utah essentially only had two drives the entire game.

They clearly realized losing was the best way they could hurt BYU and did their best to lose. We just did our part in making that difficult.
I was just saying that losses as a favorite hurt worst than losses as an underdog. You must disagree.
There were a lot of ifs that went mostly Utah’s way. The pick 6, the muffed punt. Hell if we don’t injure Wilson I don’t think there’s any way they even threaten to score from that point on.
Baylor 71-7 says hello about worse loss ever.
How many posts did I read on here and on twitter this afternoon about how Iowa State was going to lose because Colorado and BYU lost? MANY. That alone is something pretty awesome. And add in some unusual (for this year) special teams errors and we STILL won??! That's almost unbelievable.
I remember watching games in the Rhoads and Mac eras thinking it probably wasn’t possible, but it would be nice some day to have teams good enough to make a bunch of mistakes and still win. Good to be here.
We’ve had 2 wins this season when things were much more bleak than it got today. Stupid thread
Really? And you are a moderator? We won the game, right?
Explain yourself sir!
What does being a moderator have to do with anything lol?
Thread looks suspiciously like a reverse jinx…
