Win it for the seniors. Those guys have put in a ******** of hard work during their time in Ames and they deserve better than the way this season has gone. Send 'em out on a high note.
I expect to see everything left on the field by the players (it will be) and coaches, going for it on 4th down, taking shots downfield, playing aggressive Defense, etc.

I want to see the team we saw in that 1st half against KSU earlier this year. We were throwing deep, we ran a gadget play with a reverse to West who then threw the bomb to Lazard, etc, etc, etc. But then of course we got a decent lead at the half and went back to conservative "let's try to just hold on" football.
It's senior day. It's been a REALLY long season. Let the guys have some fun out there, they deserve a little bit of fun. Go for it on some 4th downs. Fake a punt. Throw deep a lot and let our big WR's make plays. Throw a few gadget plays in there. Blitz like crazy on defense and play your CB's up on the WR's and get physical with them. Roll the dice and see what happens.
Sure, you could get blown out, but we will definitely get blown out playing the way we've been playing all year. So why not take a chance. Let these kids play and have some fun.
O we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State And may her colors ever fly. Yes, we will fight with might for Iowa State With a will to do or die, Rah! Rah! Rah! Loyal sons forever true And we will fight the battle through, And when we hit that line We'll hit it hard ev'ry yard for I.S.U.
