Meltdown time?

[DeereClone]

No meltdown here. Brock played his first bad game (it happens) as a Cyclone, our play calling needs fixed, and our defense missed #12.

Still looking at 7 wins IMO and when a football season offers you 7 wins you gladly take it and smile as an ISU fan.

If Brock gets back to throwing the ball like a human being, will still beat ku and Texas.

Yep, 2-2 is probably the most likely outcome but we could end the year 1-3 with a slight chance of going 3-1 but we would have to have a lot go our way and just not seeing it happening. We just aren't as good as we all hoped we were.

 

[cygrads]

There are worse places to go.

We have nothing to lose now. Time to stop looking ahead to conference championship and SUGAR BOWL(it sounds funny now, isn't it). Just sit back and hope we play in December somewhere.

UnCytely and isuno1fan are hawk trolls

I can see this team actually losing out.

But if they win out we’ll see ya at Jerry World

 

[clonedude]

I think most people on here thought we'd win more than 7 games this year. I even heard some say 10.

I think I said 7-8.... which 7 would now probably be about the best we could hope for IMO.

Clones had a bad game today, really makes me thankful for how good purdy is most of the time. The bye week should help this team a lot and allow them to review their mistakes. I think the last time the cyclones made a trip to Norman there was a little controversy and anger after a bad loss the game before... just sayin

These “fans” won’t be around me when I’m pounding Busch Lights in San Antonio.

Purdy Chocked

Too bad Baylor is in the Title Game if we win out we are too

Chocked? Some might say choked; but chocked?

I hope CMC gives the OC one week to get his head out of his ass and start utilizing Purdy’s and Hall*s talents

Or what?

 

[awd4cy]

I’d take that over Memphis in a heartbeat.

 

[CoKane]

I mean, it's not impossible. We're going to fall to 5-5 after the next 2 and Kansas State and Kansas are competent so we have to show up for those. 6-6 would really bite but we'll beat someone in there

 

[CoKane]

Texas isn’t a guaranteed L. Have you not seen them?

Usually would agree with this but they've completely shut our offense down to a horrible degree our last few meetings. Think their coaches just have our guys numbers. Hope I'm wrong because getting shut down by this Texas defense would be embarrassing.

Texas has a defense nothing like the last 3 years. Plus they lost like 8 of 11 starters on that side of the ball and a lot of their DL. They are also leading the nation in missed tackles. They just don’t look all that.

 

[kingcy]

We can meltdown for a little while, but at the end of the day the program is on good footing. A person does have to wonder if ISU missed a chance to do something amazing with the loss. You have to hope they can get over the hump at some point

 

[GetAwesome]

This game was actually a success and went exactly as game planned!

Just nobody told us prior to the game that Purdy had decided to go as Trubisky for Halloween. We’ll be back in the W column soon enough.

Looked more like Cutler.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Oklahoma state kept us out of the end zone pretty well today, but I disagree that their defense gave us fits. Vanilla play calling and 3 gifts of interceptions by purdy made their defense look a lot better than it truly is. Not sure who they play next, but they'll get lit up.

As for ISU having an extra week to plan and prepare following a humbling loss, that's great and all, but so does OU. I'm thinking we lose a tight one, but bounce back to beat Texas, and then go 1-1 vs teams from Kansas.

 

[The Far Cyde]

6-7

But just a few plays away from the Big 12 champ. And the de facto Big Ten West champ.
