If we win the 3rd quarter, we'll win the game. KSU is like Iowa in that they're not built to come from multiple scores behind. Guessing that's why we chose to receive the opening kickoff.

agree... that first drive will be huge - hopefully we get a good kick off and not that weird bouncing thing we tried

There is a defining moment or game. This is it for Iowa State. We must play aggressive and smart against KSU in the 2nd half. No prisoners. Do not let up.

What is the rest of our season to look like? This is game one of season two!

They almost came back against OU. It can happen.

I was a little concerned about another, defensive slow start. But outside of one drive, Clone D has been good. K-State only has 51 rushing yards on 16 attempts. Also, offense is humming and Purdy is in peak, Brocktober form. Just gotta' stop kicking to Knowles.

Their D wore down vs. OU so let's see it happen here.

Goals for early 2nd half.
1. Kick football through end zone.
2. Either force 3-and-out, OR force a punt after only a couple of first downs that chew a little clock OR force turnover.
3. Productive drive to get at least a FG (TD preferable, of course).
4. Avoid having to rely on accurate ball-spots for the rest of the game.
My second half goal:

No first (more) downs would be nice.
