They really should be ashamed of themselves. They came out completely unfocused and unprepared for this game, despite having TWO weeks of preparation. And thanks to their irresponsibility, the season is likely lost as a result.

This won’t just be another tally in the L column. This is the type of game that will ruin a season, and set the program’s recruiting back several years.

They’ll likely put up a fight in the second half, but the damage has been done. Pathetic.

This is the way we should play! Keep it up!

I think we all know what happened in the first half. Nothing was working, and the whole team looked confused. Then halftime came. Whatever Mangino & Co. said obviously worked. I like the flow of our offense, especially since we were still successful, even without much threat of a run game, although Sharp was a semi-bright spot. He was hitting the holes and breaking tackles, and looked good. Our line just isn’t made for running. Reesing got back on target, which broke things wide open.

The thing that worried me was how our defense gave up so much. Yeah, the two times ISU scored, they had good position. But we still gave up 2 touchdowns. Our coverage needs to better. We seem to be getting decent pressure, and the run was stopped efficiently enough. Overall, I think the defense needs to work on pass coverage, especially for the TT game. But for now, our offense seems good enough to cover for them.

That’s it for now. Maybe talk a little more about it tomorrow.
