Hi guys

I just wanna say I felt like I got kicked in the stomach even those ISU won that game. Great effort on UNI's part, I think they just took 15 years off my life.

I'm still not sure what this means... does Iowa State have that much to worry about? Or is UNI just that good?

on one hand...
-UNI moved the ball VERY well on ISU all game long.
-Iowa State had two turnovers leading to 14 Panther points.
-Dan McCarney should have JUST KICKED THE FIELD GOAL AT THE END OF THE 1ST HALF.

on the other...
-Didn't ISU just get done doing better against Texas (AT Texas, no less) than Iowa did against Ohio State?
-UNI's offense has been giving I-A offense fits for the last two seasons... why stop now?

It's hard to judge. I think the game was well-matched, but I'm not sure how.

It's a little of each, actually. I jokingly have said that ISU would probably be a playoff team in IAA, but there's something to really think about there.

ISU is as good a team as we'll see in Gateway play, with as much defensive talent and offensive ability. If we can match last saturday's effort in Gateway play, we'll have meaningful games in November.
