Among the positives is when we had the ball I didn’t feel the absolute hopelessness of weeks prior

Defense was outstanding. Clearly targeting. I dislike that rule since it is not called consistently and I would not feel we got robbed by that no call.
Hutchinson made a horrible decision to jump, but he’s our best player and has been consistently our gem. The dude is going to go down in ISU history as one of our top 10 receivers, possibly top 5. He made a few ridiculous jumping and turning around catches that kept us alive on 4th down. It’s not his fault we lost.
Also, **** the refs. They need to stop being Texas’ cuck.

He caught a lot of ******* important balls today too.
For every person ******** about X on here, I'd bet there are 2 that are sending emails/tweets/DM's to him. That's the kind of crap that Campbell called out with the kicker two weeks ago.
Today wasn't a coaches thing.
I don't think we were out coached this game. ISU was in good position to win the game. For example, Texas didn't blitz Dekkers much at all. IMO that was a huge Texas mistake. Pressure gets Dekkers flustered. That's part of the reason our offense was more effective.
Multiple things can be true at the same time.
We wouldnt be in a lot of games, including this one, without X. However, some big key drops at the end of games are concerning (but then again, there's often no one else we would even ask to make those plays)
I’m sure he knew best if he could catch in stride or needed to jump. We wouldn’t have been within 2-3 scores without him and he caught a clutch conversion a few downs later for a big chunk of yards.
X has to be perfect but apparently the rules of tackling being completely flexible with no logical rational has no outcome on any of our games.
Man made about 7 impossible leaping catches today and we're teeing off on him?
Lol I don’t care if you dumb this. Show me where I’m wrong. He’s a good player, he just isn’t clutch.
Lol at anyone blaming X. No one is perfect but dude has been our entire offense all year.
He looked find on the sideline after. We also have a bye next week so he should be fine Id think
And the refs shouldn't be making mistakes in the game either. **** happens.
I cannot believe we are turning this into a Hutchinson-bashing thread. We really are ******* stupid.
Yeah, this performance would’ve easily beaten KSU and KU. Would have given us a good shot at overcoming refs in Baylor game but tougher to say.
Vs KU we just needed any sort of pulse on offense to win.
I’m blaming Matt but in the NIL era have ZERO issues with folks that want to call out players.
Apparently one player from one play lost this game for ISU. Oh, he caught the next play for a critical first? That doesn't count!
