Ten Things: Iowa State 31, Texas Tech 15

1. Hello Darkness, My Old Friend. The end part of this Simon and Garfunkel classic is something to the effect of, “But my words like silent raindrops fell and echoed in the wells of silence.&…

Interesting read!

3. Distressing Statistics. I’m sure you need some bad stats . . . Texas Tech never converted a third down, 0-10.... in fact, on those third downs, Texas Tech averaged 6.2 yards to go and gained 1.6,

that is incredible.

The game was kind of boring in the best way possible. So this is what it's like to have a good team?

It reminded me a little of the TCU game last season (a lower-scoring version of it). Built enough of a lead that we didn't realistically have to sweat in the second half, but you wanted to watch and see if we could pile on a few more scores.

20 bucks says Oklahoma's rated higher than us tomorrow??

Oklahoma is unranked. How do I go about collecting my $20?

Except I was at that TCU game last year, my first since I moved to Michigan in 2011, so there was nothing boring about that for me.

Can we get back to serious matters now, does anyone know the current status this minute of Skylar Thompson? I just have to know!!!!

Watching our game yesterday and several other Big XII games this year, I noticed a lot of new referee faces. I probably missed it in an offseason thread, but it looks like the conference had some retirements (including "guns" Defee. Our favorite ref Reggie is now in the B1G.

Big turnover with Big 12 referees

The Big 12 will have several new referees starting in 2020.

They are sticking closer to home to limit travel this year, although possibly more retirements than normal too.

I thought it was $40.

I thought it was $40.

I'll settle it for less.

When was the last time ISU allowed this sort of thing?

Maybe, the last time Mahomes played at Jack Trice or a game against KU. It's very rare to do that.

Watching this game now on YT.

The Oline is definitely better and this is what a controlled offense looks like. Complimentary football and several players contributing.

I didn't see much from Daniel Jackson in other games but it looks like there's some nice raw ability going on there and he wants to make a play.

I wonder how many players that could move on will use eligibility for next season.

Many fans are unhappy with Texas Tech football OC David Yost but the change of starting QBs provides him an opportunity to prove his value.

The stupid in that article is amazing.

I made it as far as “clambering” (instead of “clamoring”) before I gave up on it as useless. Of course, maybe Tech fans are climbing all over each other?

 

[IASTATE07]

In 2018, the Aggies ranked second in the NCAA in scoring at a whopping 47.5 yards per game.

I'm not sure how many games that's going to win.
