Nobody cares about kickers once the ball has been touched. Well, until they get absolutely blasted, and by then...it's just funny.
That's not what happened though. They missed FG's, dropped the onside, couldn't convert when they needed. The fact remains that the B12 plays a fast but soft brand of football. TCU is the exception. They can surprise non-conference teams in September with our speed, but by December/January you really need some defense to win.
Notice how you said he's going to have to live with this for the rest of his life. Personally, I agree with hos and I think this will be the last thing on his mind when he's making NFL $$$.
If I've learned one thing on cf, it's that we now know the big ten is obviously better than the big 12
Baylor let up a little bit, and it cost them.
How important was that block in the back call on Baylor's INT return for the TD.... wow. And they didn't even need to do it, it wouldn't have mattered. If Baylor scores that TD, I think there's a decent chance they blow MSU out of the water. Instead, MSU makes the comeback.
Baylor did nearly everything wrong, and MSU got every break possible in that 4th qtr though. If TCU was up 41-17 on MSU, I think they end up winning by 30 or 40 pts because they are a LOT tougher minded team and better coached IMO.

Do they have to consider Ole Miss vs Alabama and Ole Miss vs TCU? Or TCU vs Minn and OSU vs Minn?
It certainly helps them out with Baylor. Nothing short of Ohio State having two dominating wins will help them with TCU...even then Alabama's performance would look worse than TCU's season in that scenario.
The B12 needs to start playing defense again. We have been really bad in bowl games since abandoning that side of the ball.
Reminds me of our meltdown against WVU couple years ago.....the Chickasaw native had a tough ending....

Do you really think Petty's going to have that great of an NFL career? He's got "system quarterback" written all over him. Maybe he can aspire to be the next Brandon Weeden?
BU really folded up at the end there. Their OL was worst than ISU at the end or the game. That last kick never had a chance, even if it hadn't been blocked.
You don't think guys look back to their collegiate careers with at least a small amount of regret for their shortcomings at that level even if they have success in the pros? I would strongly disagree with that.
Although Bryce will get drafted and get a good first contract, I'm not sure he'll have a whole lot of success there. I see his pro career going kind of like Chase Daniel's.
We had a team with a dominant defense. They were left out for a team that couldn't beat Va Tech at home.
Sure, as well as TCU vs Kansas, and TCU vs West Virginia and Alabama vs West Virgina. All of these teams resumes are extremely close, and OSU and Alabama were conference champs which the committee had said they would use as a factor and TCU was from a conference that couldn't pick "one true champion".
Do you honestly think he cares what anybody think about him when he makes $1 million a year for holding a clipboard? Do you honestly think he cares about what happened in Ames in 2011?
