Amazing game. Just want to point out there are only two 7-0 teams and both won on touchdowns in the last minute by score of 38-35.

Not saying I believe in signs, but it makes you wonder about destiny in the conference championship game …

Seriously asking… was that both the worst QB passing game of the last 10 years AND the best qb run game of the last 10 years?
Rocco's scrambling kept us in the game but it was definitely the worst game he's had at ISU passing-wise. Missed at least two sure-thing TDs I can think of, and with the two pick-sixes (I'm counting the idiotic fumble), that's a 28-point swing :oops:

Still won though!

Definitely not how you draw it up, but it’s about as gritty of a W as I have ever seen. I’m so impressed with how this team never quits.

Also, the way the game was officiated, particularly in the secondary, definitely had an impact on Rocco’s accuracy. It’s a lot easier to play defense when you can rely on your d backs to handle receivers one on one because you can practically tackle them in their routes. Campbell lost his mind more than a couple times during the game on no calls for PI/defensive holding.

We definitely had an “off” night to our standards. Injuries, the way the game was officiated, and some unusual self-inflicted errors all played a role. Just one of those nights for us. And we’re STILL celebrating a win. WHAT. A. TEAM. They’re special!

Higgins looked like he may have tweaked something, the late pass Rocco overthrew him but he just didn't look like himself.
For sure. He came up limping after a catch right in front of our sideline. I'm surprised they didn't pull him off for a play. Took a pretty good shot on his TD too, though it didn't stop him from dancing.
