I could envision a loss to ISU, but it looked something like a 31-28 shootout with wild swings of momentum and dumb turnovers or mistakes killing our chances for victory. I can't say a 24-0 old school ass kicking where our staff got taken to school like they were first graders was anticipated in my game outcomes.
The Texas offense turned in a performance that made me misty-eyed for the heady days of Shawn Watson. OK, not quite, but that was absolutely horrendous. The Cyclones have only five or six sentient life forms on defense and they crushed us simply by playing hard and implementing some basic rules from film study.
