Or we have 3 more points than we would have...
Uh yeahhhh, but I have some news for you, EVERY defense keys in on CRod on EVERY down he's in there.
We have no pass rush. Levis still can’t see the field completely. TD pass to TE was there.
We are winning, I’ll take it but Stoops needs some game management schooling soon.
Damn I hate passive approach football. We rush 3 ,, then maybe 4 if we want to be adventuresome .
Exactly. Stop over thinking the red zone and give C-Rod the ball
Or… we could have SEVEN more unexpected points after an awesome interception and a huge 3rd and 28 pick up. All that for 3 points instead of a huge shot to Iowa's gut.
Eh…trying to be positive. Iowa has a tough D.
Need to tighten up the play calling inside the 10. Some really questionable stuff there
3rd down is a big stat for the Cats but Iowa also has 3 sacks.

Which is inexcusable, especially when Smoke isn’t available.
How was it luck? We are clearly the better team. Iowa is lucky we aren’t up more.
Man, you guys sure are a whiny bunch. Thought this was the basketball game thread. Up 10 at half against a very good defensive team, us with several key players out....I'll take it.
I'll never understand it ... How a guy like Stoops , who lives and breathes football, who grew up in a football home , has near zero clue about clock management . He seems oblivious .
It’s a game thread during intense moments, I mean, that’s what fans do, it's not like this is a Wednesday afternoon and Golden Girls are on.
RIP Betty White.
I know people hate it, but going prevent on that last drive was the right call IMO. They had 30 seconds to gain 50 yards for a FG try. Forcing Iowa into check downs burned up enough clock that they had to go for the hail mary. Prevent was the smart thing to do in that situation.
If I’m right and he’s not banged up, CR is being saved to give Iowa a heavy dose of pain. Slow, methodical pain. If and when the time is right of course.
I'm starting to wonder if the fumbling issue is part of it and maybe Coen trying to save his legs, but damn, in racing terms, "you gotta run what you brung"
