No worse than 7-5. We’ll beat Texas and KU. K-State is always a challenge. Depends on the officiating crew.

Hope so. We’ve really struggled with Texas the past few years. Hope this year is different.

Or kicked and made the FG on 4th and goal from the 13 down 14 with 8 minutes left. No guarantees on that FG obviously but I think that should be what people are questioning. Going for 2 was a no brainer for a coach with any kind of reasonably sized sac in that game.

In hindsight, yes, but at the time, who knew we would have scored 2 TD's -- including one that was off a pick to set up a short field?

Can someone explain ESPN QBR rankings to me, here is the stat lines for both quarterbacks last night.

Passing Purdy 19/30 282 5 0 Rushing Purdy 15 55 1 15

Passing J. Hurts 18/26 273 3 1 Rushing . Hurts 22 68 2 13

Stat lines look about the same, Purdy's QPR is is 63.9, while Hurts is 84.5

Any help out there? Hall is going to be a stud for us the next couple of years.

Going for two was the wrong call.

Iowa State held Oklahoma to seven points in the second half. Trust the defense in overtime.

So, you are willing to trust an ISU kicker to make a clutch FG to win or tie the game? You have a lot more faith than I do.

I can't answer the question but shows how razor thin the difference. Most of Hurts work was done by Lamb.

Disappointed obviously, but those of you who were shi**ing on that team during the game can go to hell. These young men are giving their all every play and came up 1 point short. I’m very proud of this team and the effort tonight.

I don't think many were all over the players.

A team looking unprepared and being directed away from what makes them successful is on the coaches and their decisions are fair game.

You buried the actual breaking news in there, which is that Skip Bayless fired off a take that wasn't stupid or homerish
I don't care how anyone feels about Skip Bayless at least he pointed out the truth and he has a national program so at least he can get this out to a broader audience - I like Huard but he danced all around it on the broadcast instead of just calling it what it was.

Yeah, I’d cheer for the Hawkeyes over Baylor football, and it’s not even a hard decision.

It really isn't close.

I don't watch much of it but Hawk football isn't that big of a bother...it's their fans that ruin it.

Basketball on the other hand...although their fans are the players so the annoyance is natural.

you love this team and think they ******* suck? Makes sense poser.

Where in the post did I say they suck? Lol not crazy to think we finish 1-2. Texas and Kansas St are good teams.

Maybe one day I’ll be as good of fan as you. Dumbass lol.

Hard to say. OU may have came out of the half different if it were closer.

Also, we had a holding call picked up that shouldn't have been.
In the post game interview Riley said he wanted nothing more than to bury Iowa state but they are a very good team. So their plan was to bury us so I'm not sure they would have called a different game coming out of halftime.

just have to acknowledge the irony of you calling another living organism a dumbass.

that might be enough to break the internet.
