Both sides of the ball turned it up the second half
I think that call taking points off the board was when it started. It lit the fire. The KSU game of 4 picked up flags was bad.......but that was something it looked like they made up.

Reggie Bush just praised us. While calling us "Iowa".
He was a good back at the University of California, as I recall.

Manning was just good enough. We won. That means a lot. We still have room for improvement in play calling. I still think we need to play with our pants on fire, be unpredictable.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.
Unless OU figures something out they won't get to the Big 12 Title game.
That's right.
Play of the game was actually two plays. When Will got two sacks I knew this game was in the bank. Purdy was fire today.
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![]()
Dont blame the D one bit, they get of the field and offense went three and out.
Side note I Feel like we are overdue for another Brock Purdy appreciation thread because a lot of us me included at times take him for granted.
Offense played well. They did just enough against an excellent Cowboy Defense where nothing was easy. I thought the score would be 27-24 ISU, that was my prediction. Only 3 points less than prediction. And Okie State was better than I thought they would be on D. No complaints.The Defense won the game that the Offense was trying to lose.

He's the best we've had.
Well on another thread, I got 3 "dumb" emojis todayThis is a winning take.

That is when we are best. Coaches know (hopefully) how best to balance things. I am happy we won a hard fought game. The Defense was great the last two possessions!
