Ive watched the final 2 minutes a few times. Thats my favorite part.I can’t wait to watch it again!
I couldn't believe the people that left Jack Trice with Iowa State down 5 points and essentially with 4 timeouts left (3 plus the 2 minute warning.) Kudos to the team for not having to waste one before crunch time.
Never leave close games early people!

A couple of Iowa State fans are hightailing it out of there at that very moment. I have spent a stupid amount of time wondering about that. Why would you leave at that moment? It's not going to save you much time.
They probably also stand in the Hilton concourse for the last 4 minutes, only to try to beat the 1,000 other people doing the exact same thing to the parking lot.
Exactly. I understand the one-offs (cranky kid or something) but I don't think people realize how easy Iowa State has it to get out of traffic (even for a sold out football game.) Try getting out of a 80-100k+ stadium in the SEC.I have spent a stupid amount of time wondering about that. Why would you leave at that moment? It's not going to save you much time. And that moment is already a core Iowa State moment for me.
It's been discussed extensively on CF and someone did a frame by frame analysis. The latter shows he may have moved 0.1 seconds early, but in real-time that is the same instance. I've rewatched it and to my naked eye, it looks like he was just the one that got the best jump on the snap. Good no call.SIAP, but on the final TD play, I swear the left guard goes early. He clearly moves before everyone else. I'm glad it wasn't called, but has anyone else noticed that?
Thanks. I couldn't determine it by rewatching the play at game speed, so I assumed it was borderline anyway. It's just that those things usually go against us...or have in the past.It's been discussed extensively on CF and someone did a frame by frame analysis.

The lords work. You're doing it.
Probably not the reason, but when I attended school, I was a traffic director. We got into games free, but had to be at our post at the conclusion of the game. You've never seen me run so hard.Honestly I was surprised so many people stayed. But I've had it drilled into me since I was a child that you don't leave games early. Losing by 30? Stay until the bitter end. Winning by 30? Stay until the bitter end.
Here's my question though. There's a video floating out there (not Jacqueline's, which is the better video) right after the touchdown when they are playing Mr. Brightside.

Every championship team goes through a game like this against a "weaker" opponent when they play far from their A game and have to grind out a win and UCF has a lot of talent so this was always going to be a tougher game than it looked like on paper. Schedule gets tougher so this was a good game to toughen up the Cyclones for the stretch run.
And LOL at the UCF player dropping the ball before the goal line. Why do so many players college or pro do that and even chance it? Good for Iowa State, probably saved their season, but it's just brainless.
I thought this was Abu's best game of the year overall. We needed a good game from him with Hansen out for the second half and Jackson being largely ineffective, and he delivered.I liked seeing Sama out at receiver last night.
Would be fun to see him slip out there more from the RB spot.
I need someone in human psychology to do a study on how this continues to happen. It makes absolutely zero sense to me. What is the upside? And it’s happened so much the players have to have been coached in it.And LOL at the UCF player dropping the ball before the goal line.

Oh sorry, you're right. Strike what I said from the record lolhow did it save our season? They got the ball at the 1 and scored the next play. Just as well of been a pick 6. Now, if we would of recovered the ball and got a touchback and won the game then itd be different.
