Next week, BYU plays UCF, and Indiana plays Washington. If BYU and Indiana win and go to 8-0, and there are no big upsets in the top 10, they may both jump over ISU.
Some of you folks said this sort of stuff our last bye week. And what ended up happening?

Irrelevant anyway, when we just keep winning.

Before the game I noted that UCF was undefeated when they hit 200 total rushing yards. Last night UCF got 354 rushing yards and they still lost.

Just a gutsy win, not many teams in the nation could go through what ISU did last night and walk out with a win. These are the games good teams lose and great teams win imo.

Bye week couldn’t have came at a better time.

I thought it might be that or ISU but couldn’t really tell. F KU just didn’t make sense to me
At the time UCF was called for a penalty, I think they were chanting “you can’t do that” because it was not there only penalty (finally) called on them.

Just win it all and control what we can control.

Hope Utah can upset BYU and Indiana will
have to play the Spartans, Wolverines and Buckeyes
Why do we want anyone to beat BYU but us?

If they get a second Big XII berth, that’s more money for the conference, and thus a big chunk more money for us.

Right? Am I missing something?

Taking away the homer in us, shouldn't BYU be ranked ahead of us with wins over ranked SMU and KSU? We have no ranked wins, neither does Indiana. But Indiana has looked better than us, scoring tons of points and blowing everybody out. TV said Army and Indiana are the only teams not to be behind 2nd half.

That's all understandable, in that situation though the only thing that mattered was picking up a first down and moving the chains or the game was over.

I just think only giving yourself 3 chances instead of 4 has seriously diminished your odds of extending the drive though. It all worked out in the end, I just thought it was a really weird decision.
Barring something out of the ordinary it was definitely the wrong call. Even a typical play with pace situation you can get a call in and snap it with no less than :50 on the clock. If you are running a good 2 min drill you’re snapping with :55 or better.

It worked out and it’s better than running a bad play. But last night was all about finding a way and having plenty to work on during the bye week.

Hansen going out hurt us too. Offense was humming with him in there and was off when he didn't play (injured?). He has a knack for finding the holes with a quick jump cut and plows through contact.
