Remember the days where we usually had to be plus 2 on turnovers to have a chance?

Got to hand it to Purdy. Totally gutsy second half.
Kind of an ideal way to go into a bye week. LOTS to clean up but man these kids have some serious guts.

That was one ugly game. Not sure what Purdy was doing in the first half, but he was awful. Did a nice job in the second half. Baylor made 4-5 plays where Brewer got rid of the ball with a tenth of a second to spare. Also had an amazing catch that was in by fractions of an inch.

Giving up a TD on that 4th and 6 made this game a lot closer than it should have been.

Live and move on. Lots of stuff to fix in the bye week.

Texas is the only opponent left I’m worried about
You should be worried about all three if we play like we did tonight. If we play like we did in the 3rd Quarter this team wins out. Just need to play a complete game and nows as good a time as ever to do it.

ISU wins this game due to the culture CMC instilled in the program. Before he arrived, they loss 99% of the time after falling behind 14-0.

Totally agree, however one weakness of CMC is taking the foot off the gas once we got up 14 also and almost allowing them to come back and win.

That’s why almost all our games are close..... CMC won’t allow kids to quit, but he won’t destroy teams when you have them down either.
