Ok OP. I get what you're saying. Both SJ and JB had games where we thought we'd found our savior, only to later discover the Kool-Aid was spiked with arsenic. I've been a half-empty ISU fan for very long time (and history shows justifiably so) but I think we might have finally turned a corner and I'm trying hard to be a glass half-full fan. And I think I'm not alone. If nothing else, enjoy a nice victory!
If I find the time I'll look through last years threads (most notably post Iowa and Texas Tech games) and will compile a long list. Since I'm pretty busy these days, feel free to get a head start.
Not you, obviously. But I sure did. But maybe that's just because I'm very non-smart.
Sam was great. Really happy he stepped up and it is time for him to play clearly. If he can play, it is a total game changer for ISU football. But WV has film now, and KU is god awful. I am not sure their D was any better than Baylor's really. Both were bad.
I'll say it: The commercials on Cyclones.tv drive me nutz. The sound is all distorted- like I'm watching a cheap 70's flick. Yeah. I just went there.
I think Baylor and Kansas have similar problems with D (Kansas with a small edge) I went ahead a put the Baylor numbers against the Kansas numbers.

The numbers seem to back up what we all saw. SR hits the receiver more often then the other two QBs. SJ and and SR can both get it done against a sub par defense but SR makes it look prettier.

As we have debated now for years, how do you account for drops? A QB's accuracy can have a lot to do with drops, but the drops against Baylor were on the WRs.
And time will tell if Richardson can go beyond SJ and get it done against a stronger defense. Which is the point the OP was trying to make, I believe, before everyone (myself included) castrated his post.
This seriously brought tears to my eyes. I was trying to read it to my wife but I was laughing way to hard. Hilarious stuff.
Just the point spread in the scores, make me think Kansas has a tougher "D" than Baylor

KU lost to TTech 41-34 (OT)

Richardson looked better against KU than Jantz looked against Western Illinois! Not saying he's the second coming or anything, but he's clearly the best QB ISU has right now.
Off subject, I like how this thread went from a botched typejob with little understanding, into a legitimate thread.
Well played, sir.
