What a dominant first half. Only needed two missed field goals from Alley Ass to maintain a 7 point lead. Fml.

You’ve completely bottled up Breece Hall outside of 1 play that was nullified by a weak call and our shitty kicker.

I would actually say that’s pretty dominant defense

Well, you know, they’re pretty good. I’m happy to be up 7 on them.

I know. I just want to see our offense dominate like it used too. Otherwise we’re just killing time until we start losing games, and it very well could start today if we don’t pick up the pace. I’m sick of hearing about our “dominant” defense. We’re still Oklahoma State and need big offense to have any chance at a conference title or heaven forbid a playoff appearance.

I still hate Gundy clock management.  You’ve got a dynamic QB and 2m before a half where the other team gets the ball back...let’s run out clock!  At least I’m happy to see SS looking sharp when the dive play isn’t being called, and I’m not sure I’d blame that pick solely on him.  
 

ISU is an excellent team, season opener notwithstanding.  I’m envious of the way they use the TE like we were supposed to with the ‘cowboy back’.

Patience Grasshopper. It’ll come around.

 

Not today, of course. But eventually.

Like I said, OSU is just better. Their D line has controlled the LOS all day, and our WRs can’t get open. We refuse to do things like run screens, so they can just tee off on the passing game.

Our D played well enough to win. Sanders is a damn good athlete, but he’s the only reason we aren’t down by 3+ scores.

The way this year has gone there is only one way for it to end.

 

oSu goes undefeated and wins its first playoff game easily.

 

We are up 21-0 early in the National Championship game when Armageddon happens. It all ends when the brass ring is 6 inches away from our grasp.

 

Sorry for speaking this into existence.

Yeah that was two pretty evenly matched teams, if you ask me.  Both have good balance and play solid/disciplined football on both sides.

OSU D probably a little bit better, but Purdy is better overall than Sanders.  ISU's TEs are fantastic but WRs are meh.  OSU's receivers are better.  Chubba/Hall is a wash. Both are fantastic.

I was pleasantly surprised with Sanders. I thought he'd show more rust. Looked to me like much better decision making than last year.  He could be really good in about 3-4 more games if he stays healthy. (Big "if" if you ask me, because he's one of those reckless runners that always seems to take big hits).

ISU-OSU rematch could definitely happen in B12 title game.

In hindsight I take back what I said in another thread where I thought we should use SS like we did JW for awhile back in the day...short yardage, ZR and red zone specialist.  He threw too low but I can’t quite blame him for the first INT, though the second was vintage SS balling out but making a few terrible decisions per game.  
 

I finally believe the D is for real.  They adjusted against an unconventional offense and arguably the best QB in the conference.  Outside of a couple huge runs they bottled up the offense and kept Purdy off balance in the pocket.  The pick was a thing of beauty albeit an under thrown bomb into double coverage.  
 

The offense looked better against a good D, though I still hate that period where we regressed to legacy Gundys dive, dive, post route conservative shit.  Wish we ran more to the edge where Wallace is a savage blocker or we can open holes with a buck sweep by pulling linesman.  Outside of that dancing Chuba run I just don’t see us pancaking people for 3-5 yards a pop.  Sanders really looked like he was having fun out there, smiling and laughing during closeup shots from the camera crew.  
 

Special teams did ok but I hated that missed FG.  It was going to happen at some point.  
 

There were some phantom calls I didn’t like but there’s always something to bitch about with BigXII crews.  Picking up that targeting flag when I felt the defender clearly lead with his crown and that DPI against Wallace when they were both grabbing come to mind.  Overall not too many boneheaded false starts or other dick-shooting events.  
 

Overall I agree that felt like a game between two evenly matched teams.  It was wild watching us (osu) utilize our TE in the passing game just as ISU has mastered, I saw a lot of disciplined defense and tackling on both teams, two offenses predicated on the run game with rollout boot/PA passes, two outstanding RBs, you could tell both coaching staffs had a plan they believed in that was executed by players who knew what they were supposed to be doing and took the game plan seriously, and everyone on that field knew this was a game worth fighting for.  I thought it was a good game and I’d have had a lot of fun watching it if I wasn’t so invested and a nervous nelly bitch who’d been burned so many times in the past by having confidence.  
 

It’s also been interesting watching offenses evolve in the conference, a lot of our fan base yearns for the Weeden days of just running y-stick over and over for 500 yards...and I miss that too, but I think a more balanced attack mixed in with the occasional Air Raid vertical stretch can be more sustainable when you have a competent defense.  Those amazing offense of yore had little ability to control clock in close games.  
 

I didn’t watch much of the Texas game, but I’ll always be afraid of Sam and all those 4-5* players scattered about the field that can compensate for the inane coaching of Herman.  I also fear Gundyball as he doesn’t stay aggressive, relies too much on 3-yard-cloud-o-dust gut runs and seems to inject himself into play calling too much during the game.  The line is like -2.5 so it tells me Vegas respects Texas and I never take them for granted.  Who knows, osu lays an egg every year.

Regarding the picked up flag, our radio crew said it was due to the ball being uncatchable.  Some OSU guys on Twitter are super butt hurt about it, and had the clip posted and it looked that way to me.

I didn't see any of the game as I was harvesting and listening on the radio.  Our crew obviously has an ISU bias, but having listened to homer crews from all over the country whilst in the field over the last decade, I think they at least TRY to be objective, compared to most.
