WHY did Prince elect to kick the field goal to tie instead of going for it and maybe getting 7? It was pretty much obvious that our D wasn't going to stop them.  :banghead:

It was just a great game. A shame we couldn't hold at the end, but great game. How about that call to go for 2?  :yikes:

6 freaking fumbles, and that punt muff thing had to be the luckiest play ever.  Without that they lose.  Really Kstate just gave this game away with three fumbles inside OSU's 35.

if he had gone for the tie maybe they wouldnt have been so desperate to get in to field goal range and perhaps would have ended up having to play for overtime.

Relying on the other team taking it easy on you is not a good way to win games.

QFMTF.  Stop whining you pussies... we lost a game that we should have won.  End of story.

Problem is, since the defense wasn't stopping them, Prince couldn't take the chance of going for it on 4th down and not making it. Turning the ball over on downs, still trailing by three with the defense sieving like it was, just wasn't an option. Not in tonights game.

But, you know, if Mastrud doesn't fumble on the 5, there's no way Jordy doesn't score on the next play.

We played liked pussies with a minute to go....and lost because we deserved to.

End of story.

Stanbot and the Iraqi defense minister Wyatt Thompson can spin it 1000 ways about how "wonderful" a game this was. We lost because we crap down our legs every opportunity we had to control the game and ultimately to win it in the end.

 I like Prince, but I really wish we would run the ball more and use the clock. Its just not his philosophy. We should still end up around 7-5 or 8-4 if we are lucky which isn't a bad thing. I'm still spoiled from the Snyder years though.
