That Oklahoma State defense is as good of a unit as we have seen in years. Hats off to them.

And hats off to ISU for doing just enough.

It's been a while since I've been this excited about a win and that includes Texas '20!

Wow, what a line for Purdy: 27-33 , 307 yards, 2 TDs, no Ints. I know there were some frustrating and confusing play calls, but gotta' give Manning some credit for putting together a game plan that enabled Purdy, Hutch and (somewhat) Kolar to have huge games in spite of our Oline getting owned much of the game. OSU's defense is physical and legit. I'd take them to win Bedlam and go to the Big 12 title game.

Defense really locked down in the 2nd half per usual. Loved the hitting, physicality and gap discipline that held Warren to a "meh" day running the ball. Isheem Young could knock the fillings out of your teeth. Gotta' clean up some deep coverages but also have to tip your cap to OSU for making some freak plays in the end zone. Hope Rose is OK.

Can't complain too much about special teams. Nice to see Okie State lose the game on two missed field goals, a remarkable inverse of last year's game.

Overall, Cyclones were just a bit more physical when it mattered and that tilted the game in our favor.

The Defense won the game that the Offense was trying to lose. Special teams was bad as usual. OSu fked up on one of those returns , picked up a kickoff going out of bounds , instead of getting 35 got the 23 :D
