I know I am going to get blasted for this, but a lot of this loss is on Lanning

This was a team loss all the way around. Can't blame it on any segment. All did well at times and all peed it down their legs at times. Defense stepped up at moments and at others, we rushed three and the dbacks decided to just stay behind their guy on long throws. There were dropped passes, bundrage's hurt bad, JL had a DM behind his guy and over shot a 10 yard pass by 5-10 yards. Other times he threw between 2 kinda hoping the WRs would figure who would get it, but most of the time he played fantastic. The coaches had some questionable calls, but did call a game where we scored 35, that was a TD.

There were spots where everyone did their job, even the zebras made sure OSU got through unscathed, and spots where they screwed up. Can't pin it on any one group here.

Without Joel Lanning at Qb this game would have been over midway thru thee 3rd quarter

I would say the following lost the game:
throw to the endzone that got overturned was poorly thrown. He was wide open. it wasn't terrible but not good.
Then he missed the throw that would have probably been a wide open TD or at least 50+ yards
The 3rd down not going under center is on the staff.
Letting OSU convert every 3rd down in the 2nd half it seemed.

Thought he played pretty well though.

I thought Lanning played very well, for the most part. It was just a few times when he threw when you should have run, and missed some huge passes that would have won the game. The pass that he forced to Lazard was just a bad choice, as was the throw that was overturned. Not saying others did not fail in the game, but as usual in these games that ISU just seems to lose in the end, one guy making a play could have made the difference.

Since LA Ning became our quarterback we have outscored opponents 99-97. When you consider those opponents have been Baylor, Texas, Oklahoma, & Oklahoma State. Anyone that could be ****** about what he brings to this team is an idiot. He has stuff he can improve on but that is what's so exciting. He makes a
ISu soooooo much better. He gets the reads down better and throws less off his back foot, look out. I for one am excited about next year.

Pinning a 6 point loss to a top 10 team on any individual is equally stupid.

Yep 14 rushes for 130 yards just horrible decision making.

Yeah because you can only be 100% good or bad. He did well but needed to do better. The good news is that he's young and experience makes you better.
