Well said. And that D was out there a lot.

I can absolutely say this. We made a lot of stupid mistakes and really played poorly (so yeah in that case you are right the better team doesn't do that). But once we settled in and played our version of football we were better. Basically shut them out in the 2nd Half and the offense finally got moving. Again even at best. Lose the turnover battle 3-0 against OU and you 35 yards to win the game? Yeah I could argue you could be the better team.
No ****. Just went 8-1 in the Big 12 with a school record scoring offense, probably the best defense in school history. And most of it comes back. But they want to fire people.
Manning needs to help him out and call some better plays that suit him. And as I've said 10 times now out O line needs to improve. If he isn't running for his life or can actually step into a throw without a defender about to steamroll him he will make better decisions.
and, some "fans" just insist on posting ridiculous crap on CF
I get people being frustrated, but this is NOTHING like typical ISU. At best typical ISU against OU was go +4 in turnovers, play a clean game and still lose.
OU played a way cleaner game. ISU made all the unforced errors. And still very much could’ve won. This team is actually not very good in the margins and I’m OK with that. They are just a flat out good team that never quits.
Great season Cyclones. Let’s regroup and go win a NY6!

I'm just pissed that our great season is much more pedestrian now. No Championship, likely no NY6 bowl, drop in the ranking probably to double digits... People will inevitably see the loss and think we didn't belong or OU just had a bad game (when it was certainly us with the bad game), the last drive riddled with penalties and poor OL play resulting in the pick, ... Just the whole thing is going to feel demeaned. It'll feel a little better if they win whatever bowl they get into, but still not nearly as good as winning today.
You got a conference in mind that this team wouldn't at least compete in?
I was in the 'Big 12 isn't that good this year' camp but as the season has gone on, they're fine.
When the B12 went to play everyone I thought we were doomed.
Guess what, I was wrong. This guys showed heart, it's time for some d bags on here to show some heart as well.
And best of all? We do have a shot to be back in this next year.
We still have a Fiesta or Alamo bowl to look forward to!
Doesn't help when you're on your 3rd string RT going against that d line. Pressure makes a lot of QBs look bad.
The receiver broke deep up the sideline when Purdy scrambled and got behind his primary defender. Maybe Purdy saw that and thought he was open, but there were 3 more white jerseys back there. Would prefer to see the receiver break back to the quarterback when he is running for his life.
H
Really hope we find ourselves in a NY6 though as this team deserves it. I would hate for these guys to not at least get a shot at one of the other top teams because we are absolutely a top-10 type of team. The Alamo would be a let down honestly. Normal years no, but I think this team deserves a NY6 game.
We'll get a great bowl game. Think Fiesta or Alamo Bowl.
Props to the defense for holding OU to 3 second half points, and those were jump started with special teams.
A scheme that suits the offense in general was needed.
This OU team gave up only 85ish yards/game rushing and was tough up the middle.
So the game plan to force it into that and and put Purdy in statue mode was baffling.
Same with Hall. OUTSIDE ALL DAY.
Get him and the line moving to one sideline or the other early to get OU responding instead of going toe to toe.
I really thought this board would be better behaved after a loss today.

Such ******* ********. It takes nothing away from the season. It doesn't change 8-1 in the conference. Finishing the season around #10 would be ******* amazing. That's not predstrain.
And I'm not sure why we think there's no chance at a NY 6 bowl.
