Failing to get the T.D. after the interception with the ball on the 4 yd. line was a killer.

my thoughts
Defense played lights out. the corner blitzes were destroying Roberson and our contain was phenomenal.
Offense just couldn't get much going, except for the last 6 minutes. Not blaming anyone as Adams played pretty well for being thrown into the fire. But it would have been a different ball game with Perish.
Admire the teams guts because it felt like it was all but over when we were down 17-6 in the 4th.
I am convinced that we will never get 10,000 in THAT stadium. I don't know what it is, but we just cannot do it.
First time on campus in like 8 months....Reeves Hall looks fantastic. the track will be a great addition to the athletic department. i didn't even know that they were renovating Mills Hall. and that downtown housing project is a monster!!!!!!!! I heard rumors that Brothers and Kilroys are bidding for the open space below the downtown housing, if it is true that will boom the downtown section! ---- it is super exciting to see all the improvement being made to campus on a CONSISTENT basis.
it was great to see old friends
damn i wish we would have won

Did anyone else think maybe a good strategy with :37 left and 1st and goal from the 6 maybe we should have let them score?
With Perish I'd say yes, but that's a lot to put on a freshman's shoulders...

I started the post thinking it was :56. I fixed it thinking it was much less a good idea
I'm going back to the poorly executed squib kick. The call was fine, as others have said it is pretty much standard procedure. The kick itself was bad. A bad squib kick cost us the game! We had the game won if we could have squibed it properly and made them start their offense from the 30 instead of the 50. Don't kick it on the ground right at a guy with a 9 on his jersey.

Didn't get a chance to attend the game or watch the game. Did watch the highlights, read the write up, checked the box score and did read through the game thread. With that said, it doesn't give me a lot to add to the discussion than what has already been said.
Two things, first I liked what I saw out of Adams and I do think it bodes well for the future. Second, it was nice to read through the thread and see so much disssapointment in a loss, one that we were not favored to win. That is a lot better than last year at this time when we were just praying to score ten points in a game and not give up 40.
The turnaround from last year is still very impressive and I am already looking forward to watching us next week in Fargo.

When in the history of High School, College, or professional football......has there ever been, a poorly executed squib kick?
Exactly. Never.
It was a great call by our coaching staff, and IF it hadn't been the most accidental squib kick, in all of football history.....WE WOULD BE TALKING ABOUT WHAT AN HISTORIC WIN this was.......we were inches from a frickin' historic, come-from-behind, all time ISU come back win, with a RS Freshman "no-name' QB.
Damn!

I may have overstated earlier in the thread that I have never seen that happen. I probably have but I didnt expect that to happen yesterday.
In 1995 we tried a sneaky onside against Ole Miss. It went -2yds
