That has worked at Illinois, remember folks saying a couple years ago they would be good and they are good now. But, they weren't good for quite a while, so it takes some time.

Not sure I agree with that. AA had a chance to convert on numerous 3rd downs in the second half and came up empty almost every time.
We could have, probably should have won this game, BUT, great effort by the players for laying it out on the field. Losing is always hard but this was the 16th ranked team we just played. I don't think a few years ago we play a team like this close. What happened in the 3rd qtr, I don't know, I wasn't there. We have alot of youth on this team and the talent is on the rise. We are getting better and are going to be alot better.
Yes, we will have some downs along the way. We are ISU, but I say to hell w/ all the negative vibe of the past. We are on the way up. We will surprise some people this year. Next year with an improved run game, we will be a very tough out for anybody.
Good game Clones! Keep your heads up and the wins will come.

there were a couple 3rd and shorts in the 3rd qtr that looked like if Arnaud and Robinson had just put their heads down and went straight up field they would have made 1st downs EASY. instead they tried a juke or 2 and came up inches short.
The first TD was just blown coverage. The defense can only take so many 3 and outs from the offense before it runs out of gas especially against an offense like Kansas.
Illinois has also had Top 20 recruiting classes the last couple years... something ISU hasn't even sniffed yet.
I like these goals. Road games have always been a challenge for ISU. It's always fun to beat Nebraska and A&M would be a win over another big name. Missouri looks like they're pretty good, I'd be okay with a competitive game.
Edit: I'm not gonna argue with you. I'll let you think whatever u want

Recruiting class ranks are extremely overrated. Nobody knows how good a class is going to be when they first get to college. Just look at ours now. This one was ranked in the bottom half in a lot of publications but the freshman are looking pretty damn good right now.
Kansas' defense handled it okay in the first half when we dominated time of possession.
KU had the ball for 2 minutes longer than us in the second half, I believe. We won TOP by over 5 and a half minutes.
If the excuse is our defense was tired, then we need to stop talking up our new conditioning and strength program.
Seems to me like they made halftime adjustments, and we couldn't stop them to save our life. Someone tell me why I'm wrong.
All right, so Sedrick and Leonard Johnson aren't Arrelious Benn and Vontae Davis. Are they really that far behind? :mask:
Calm down... I just don't know many people other than teenagers that say: "that was soo gay"... nothing personal...
Or maybe--here's a crazy thought--we don't have as much depth as we'd like. After all, we've got plenty of safeties and linebackers to toss out there, don't we?
And it's not like some of the starters on defense don't have decided shortcomings...:skeptical:
