I think Rocco must have been having a shoulder issue. Someone mentioned he fell hard on it in the Arkansas State game. After one attempt early on, I don't think we even tried to throw it downfield. My guess is he was limited, and Houston defense picked up on this and knew we weren't going deep. Hopefully it's not a long-term thing.

I expected more from OSU but I think there's talent there and they'll get it figured out.
KU is surprising and I'm whiffing on CU so far; they looked pretty solid on both sides of the ball yesterday.
For as bad as BU started vs. BYU they found a way to have a chance late and I'll expect a tough game next week.
Fun conference imo.
Agreed!
Playing like that against almost any other Big 12 team probably would have been a L.
But we’ll take it! Win and advance…. move on. Some guys are NOT going to enjoy film room.
For how much Houston was stacking things up ISU ran the ball fairly well on the whole.
Hopefully it's just something that needs more time but we might see Moberly after all if Becht can't get right.
I didn't know what the hell the announcers were talking about a lot of the game.
Most game announcing teams are simply not good any more but they were 1993 ESPN2 level.
Iowa State's depth and conditioning was on display throughout the last 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter and all of the 4th quarter.
Kansas better hurry up and get their stadium done before the donors bail....

I still remember that day (I was at work) watching the pregame show with Seneca wearing a Roman toga and all the Heisman hype … only to see Iowa State get absolutely destroyed in Norman.
6-1 (including the robbed FSU game) and riding high … ending the season 1-6 being outscored 275-125.

That was my takeaway on UH too. Those DLs are real good. Their defense is real good.
They get better on offense somehow thru the season and they will win a few games. Hopefully against Utah and KSU...
That would suck if this is a long term nagging issue for him. We need him healthy to have the kind of season we want. If it is not better after two weeks off, then I fear it could be a long term thing. Also, does something like this prevent him from getting reps in practice? If he is indeed having a shoulder issue, I wonder if we are better off putting a 100% Moberly out there instead of an injured Rocco? But, we pay people big bucks to figure that out I guess.
Yeah, it was the right call, though I am wondering if that play was an RPO. If it was, that happens from time to time as the linemen are kind of guessing what is happening behind them.

oh duh, my bad. The off week was before that. I better get some coffee and wake up. LOL. sorry about that
I feel you my friend. Made the choice to stay up and watch Utah last night. Dragging this morning so far!
I think KSU fell victim to some Mormon magic. They looked very dominant vs an admittedly disappointing oSu team, but it was still impressive. Still think that game will be tough out. If we can figure out the offense, the rest of the schedule looks very winnable right now.
We didn’t play well offensively but a road win in any fashion is good. College football is weird - see home losses by #6 Ole Miss and #10 Utah to mid-level teams. And to a lesser extent, UCF getting drilled by Colorado at home. I’ll take 20-0 any day, even if it was ugly.
No kidding. It's like the stuck up couple that everyone hates finally left the party and the level of fun for everyone remaining, including the new folks who recently joined the party, has gone up dramatically.
