Yes, a lot of stuff to look at in the tape, wow…..nobody was really consistent. Pretty much everyone had done big mistakes.

Could be they are exhausted. Good time to have a bye week. Rest and get healthy / healthier
A. The linebackers aren’t the only ones who can use a bye week. John and Eric didn’t think that Big Citrus was going to play, and pretty sure that JR is dinged up too.
B. One of the players this week made a revealing comment that they aren’t actually trying to rush the passer as often as fans think they are.
I figured that ISU just had one of those nights and didn't have it and will eat crow.
The team just keeps finding ways.

its never the worst passing game when you win a 2 minute drive around 80 yards but it wasn't Bechts best but he was clutch in the end.
Wondered if it might be something like that.
He went out for a bit, came back in a little, maybe to test how it was going, and decided to shut it down.
A bye week is fortuitous here.
Most shocking win in a long time. We never never win these.
Think it was that coupled with a lot of man to man in the defensive backfield that took things away from what we had schemed, hence the runs by Rocco. Campbell mentioned this in the post game & it makes sense as the DBs won't be seeing the QB break the pocket until it's too late. Don't think other teams have done this. However, when they do we need to win a couple times deep, which we had tonight but were over thrown.
Haha. Yeah, I'm sure they had a lot of choice there.
I would but this thing has to go down in next two hours or off to the ER.
I thought the refs really let UCF get away with a lot of late hits out of bounds. Multiple times they threw our guy to the ground or tackled him well past the out of bounds line and got away with it. Rocco's feet was the difference tonight, all the man that they were playing allowed for him to run if he got pressure.
Just a gut check win, now lets go into the bye week and get healthy.

Byu won 38 -35 last night and i thought they got super lucky in a weird game w a late score.
Isu won by exact same score in the exact same way.

My brain is still processing this. In my 20+ years of following ISU football, this is the sort of game that ISU loses almost every time.
Teams who have special seasons have things like this happen
Look at TCU year they went to the playoffs

Its boggling when you start thinking about all the things that individually can be back breakers you look back on for years. Those two big runs. The two pick sixes. The missed open TDs. Not picking up the ball after that goal line fumble. Missing the PAT on the tying TD
Not to mention the injury situation and losing the RB that was doing the most for us early in the game.
A lot of teams would have quit after all that adversity. One of those 'this isn't our night' things.
