First possesion of the game and we pass on 3rd and 1...wtf....UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Cost us the game!! David Montgomery shaking his head as well as the ISU fan base.....
I totally agree. Set the tone for the whole night IMO, and definitely could have cost us the game from that aspect.
If you line up on 3rd and 1 on your first possession, and drop back to pass it, then you are admitting to Texas and 55k ISU fans that we can't match up with you tonight physically and you've won the game unless we can out finesse you. Just dumb. Make an early statement.
IMO, the crowd was never much into after that play the whole rest of the night. We did the same thing against Iowa on a couple 3rd and 1's too. Tried throwing it. Just gutless and wimpy. Game over.
