KDSM....2nd Rate TV Station

Did anyone else notice that when they went to commercial break at the end of the 3rd quarter, the score was 42-21 with ISU 1st and goal on the 4. We come back after commercial break, and we have scored and are kicking off. Missed Chase Allen's touchdown catch. I know it wasn't a network issue, my son in Lubbock Texas saw the play. I have it on a reliable source that a Hawkeyes scum was at the KDSM controls, and did it intentionally.

Josh Lenz Podcast

I listened to a podcast with Josh Lenz today and here were my takeaways:

- Reminiscing about the Paul Rhoads era feels like a lifetime ago even though it wasn't
- I was all in on Paul Rhoads after the Nebraska and Oklahoma State wins
- Josh Lenz ran a 4.34!?! I remember he was fast but I don't remember him being THAT fast
- Lenz spent 3 NFL seasons on the practice squad and never suited for a game (although he was active for the AFC Title game against the Patriots)

Rewatched the condensed OSU game....

I rewatched the game and here are my secondary reactions:

OL had a rough game in pass blocking, but Purdy and the coaches did not help the situation. When OSU was really sending guy, there often was no checkdown for Purdy, or he didn't take it when it was open.

Hall is a complete stud, and I will never understand why they basically went away from running the ball in the latter parts of the game. The second and 4 at the 20 or so, right before the pick 6 would have been a great time to give him the ball.

Defense really played well in the second half. All three of the big plays in the first half were from guys missing tackles or not being in the right place. Safety play after Elsworth got hurt in the first half was not good at all.

There were way too many passes dropped by ISU, including 2 sure INTs, and one pass that would have given them a first and goal at the 6.

Once again ISU can not make a FG while the opponent seems to make them from everywhere they try.

Purdy threw a lot of really good passes and some scary bad ones. Not sure what has been up with him the last few games, but definitely not as sharp.
