I may have missed it, but don’t we usually have a thread that focuses on the game?
Here are my fairly uninformed observations:
Two very good QB’s. Day’s release may have been a little quicker, but given he was sacked three times, he needed to get rid of the ball in a hurry
We held their feature RB to “only” 103 yds, with a 3.6 yards per carry average.
Did we ever run outside? I don’t remember doing so. Even though we (IMO) don’t run the option very well, we should’ve tried going wide.
I think we only threw deep behind coverage once, and it was good for a TD. If our receivers were getting open underneath and in the middle, they might’ve gotten open behind the safeties.
The onside kick was almost perfectly executed, from crisscrossing the kickers to traveling just over 10 yds to bouncing over the front line receiver; too bad neither of the two ISU players who touched it couldn’t hold on to it.
We have lost by three points to two quality teams in a row. But, a loss is a loss.
