all i know is that wally did not give a "good game" kind of hug to Jake after the game. It was a long "congrats on a great career, it has been a pleasure to coach you" kind of hug.
also, other players on the sidelines went out of their way to give a him a "good game" hug that they didn't give to the rest of the defense. i may be reading too much into it too. And Jake has proven that he can play through any amount of pain if coach will let him. I think that is why he is being noncommital to saying he is done. Or him and coach being coy to force OU to game plan for him.

I noticed this and it was my reaction at first as well.
But then I got to thinking - the dude just played a game with what SHOULD have been a season-ending injury (supposedly.) They were possibly "that was impressive, you've got some heart, kid" hugs.
yeah, there were a lot of final game stuff going on if you were watching last night. Someone was taking a picture of Jake, AJ, and Wally during warmups. That doesn't normally happen.
I'm guessing that the coaches and people that know Jake, know that he needs surgery. And I'm guessing that Jake is pretty hard to convince. I am sure that it probably kills him to know that he probably could play, but it is better for him not to. Essentially he is trading in his last 4 or 5 games of CFB for a chance at the NFL which he knows is by no means a sure thing.
Correct. There were no "good game" hugs. They were "thank you for being the face of ISU football and the help you have done to make this the rising progam we are" hug. Jake was and will continue to be the face of the ISU program. He just might not be in uniform

Why the
No reason. Just that something like that doesn't usually happen. And because I watched Jake's every move last night! I am strangely invested in this story. It's just such an odd situation.
Yeah, he will be (along with others, including AJ) one of the guys we point to in the future as where this all began....when Iowa State football became a big deal.
Jake and AJ shared pre-game moment as well that looked more senior day than homecoming. Either they are taking nothing for granted and soaking it in because it is almost over, or knew last night was it.

:SLEEP:
Its Jake Knott.
Well, we did have a couple of miscues that he needs to clean up....
Speaking of SJ having five TDs, did he have the most passing TDs in the B12 this weekend? B12 offensive player of the Week? Brady of the Pats also only had four.
Lucky Woody held onto his low ball TD.
