I thought Arnaud looked good today. I'm hoping this was the game to get him over the funk he's been playing with. Darks finally showed up. Williams continues to surprise. O-line played well. A-Rob is the man. Nothing more to say about him.

Anything to add?

We played a great game against a top 25 team on the road. Lot of positives today. Negative... well we are still losing.

Good kick and punt returns.

Great game offensively all around.. GREAT game.

Oline continues to protect AA pretty darn well.

Defensively... well nobody looked to get hurt.

Sums up my feelings. It's just one game - we have 6 more. The offense is starting to show some polish.

-A-Rob is a warrior.

-Darks had his best game of the year, as did Arnaud.

-Defense came up with the stop late to give us a chance.

Our offense finally looked good and could move the ball. Now, if only we can get our offense and defense together for one game, we would be great.

I'm actually a little more optimistic after today's game. Sure the D didn't play well, but that is against Reesing and Co. The ISU O finally showed something. I can guarantee that none of you had this game chalked up as a win.

Darks gave us a legitimate 3rd option at receiver and it really opened up some opportunities. Great game by Catlett as well. Williams isn't a surprise anymore, he's just playing his game.

Positives:

Our offense looked the best it has in a long time.
After those first few disasters on special teams, mahoney got back into it. Heres to another made PAT streak.
Defensively.... the last stop that gave us a chance to win it at the end.

2 last minute plays from 5-1. Thats the optimistic side.

While he started awful, hitting a field goal and an extra point may have saved Mahoney's season. That's at least something positive he can take away from his game after how awful it started.

I agree with all the positives offensively listed here except you guys forgot the main one. WE NEVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH REESING AGAIN!!!

That freaking guy is unsackable and makes so many impossible plays it makes me sick. KU will go back to being only average once he graduates.

Run game was good.

Pass game was good.

Quarterback was decent.

Special Teams played great.

Defense played average. Pass rush was lousy, but we knew it was that way coming into the season.

Played well at a top 20 teams house.

If we could have put just a little more pressure on their quarterback the outcome would have been a lot different.
