Shooda wooda cooda but we'd have have won our last 2 if we show up in the first quarter.

This will be added to the long LONG list of Cyclone nut cup worthy almosts.

Go for 2 on the road

One of the many 'common wisdom' things that doesn't necessarily make sense. May feel good, but with all the momentum in the second half we would've been better off going for it.

Of course the first half is where we really lost this one.

 

[CloneGuy8]

I'm sad

 

[Clonefan94]

Anybody that questions going to 2 I don’t want to hear from

Hear from me, we were on a roll, killed them second half, they were bruised up, tired and cramping. Another learning experience for this staff, I hope they finally catch on.

 

[CYISFLY]

Not saying it’ll be easy the rest of the way. However I do feel much better with that ending. Just missed on some opportunities. On to Texas

 

[cyrocksmypants]

I have to ask why did we not play for OT there? I don’t hate the idea of going for 2 but our D finally seemed to figure something out

We don’t have a field goal kicker.

 

[CyGuy5]

We are legitimately like 10 plays away from being 9-0 and we just can’t get there. Hell of an effort tonight but just once it would be real nice to win one of these games

 

[madguy30]

I actually wasn't terribly impressed with Hurts. Great athlete...kind of all over the place as a QB.

 

[StormnClone58]

Just once, I wish we could finish one of those.
Iowa, Baylor, OSU, OU. ****

this ... we are so close ... we are 4 pts from being a 1 loss team

 

[NorthCyd]

This team is very consistent. Just not enough when it matters most.

 

[ISUCyclones2015]

4 losses by a combined 11 points. What could've been

I tend to agree with the momentum, but on the road conventional wisdom is go for 2

 

[Dandy]

I am happy Pettway chose ISU but imagine throwing to Pettway over Kolar on the goal line. I can’t.

 

[DSMCy]

Purdy tied the single season record for TD passes tonight.

I think the last TD to Kolar broke the record.

 

[LindenCy]

Great comeback. I hope next year we get off to quicker starts both season-wise and quarter-wise.

Good second half from our guys.

 

[CyArob]

This year is worse than '05 with all these close losses

 

[Hawkcigar]

Been a long time since I've logged in here but just have to say it's really a pleasure to watch this Cyclone team. Your team has absolutely no quit in them at all. Many good things in the future.

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Great game just couldnt close it at the end.

 

[ISUAgronomist]

Loved the call. It was there in more than one way. On to Texas. Their sack of **** QB doesn't stand a chance if we can do this to Hurts.

 

[chiroclone88]

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.
