I was encouraged. If you were encouraged, go ahead and tell us why.

I thought we played really, really well.  I don't understand why it is so hard for some people to fathom that a young team made some mistakes and lost to a considerably better team.

I can tell you're an older person. Not that thats a bad thing.

Watching sams run is pretty fun. He's also fun to look at and has an engaging personality.

The highstepping and crap talking after big runs was just a thing of beauty.

[Cartierfor3]

Totally. The highstepping!

I may be completely wrong, but I think CK rubbed off a lot on Sams. Klein was probably the most patient runner I've ever seen and Sams is also very patient for someone that can just take off at any second. Sitting behind Klein for a couple years was probably one of the best things we could have hoped for with Sams. I don't think his in-between tackle run game would be what it is without Klein running for two years in front of him.

Agreed

I was happy about a lot of things that have been fixed.  But the most fantastic of penalties again.  15 yarder on Evens TD, holding on Gronk on 2nd 2 when we get a first, turned into a 3rd and long, which turned into a missed field goal....but super excited about everything.  Effing moral victories

Have we become Iowa State?

Um no. We have tremendous upside.

Would not be a surprise to see us go 6-0 the rest of the way...did you guys see Daniel fake that one long haired dude out of and then back into his shoes on that one play

[sys]

i was encouraged, because my expectations were very low.

[raquetcat]

I was afraid that this team might give up, but after their play today and after reading the quotes, I have been strongly encouraged by their strong mentality, I think the team as a whole has really taken on the following goals well:
Goal #4: Improve. Everyday...as a player, person, and student.
Goal #10: Never give up.
Goal #11: Don't accept losing.  If you do so one time, it will be easy to do so for the rest of your life.
Goal #13: Expect to win. And truly believe we will.

On being a starting quarterback…
“It has been a journey, and one that God has played a huge role in. That is why I am so happy right now. I have waited four years for this. I have waited four years to be a part of this family and contribute. As a backup quarterback, you cannot contribute that much and it can kind of weigh on you a little bit.  That is why it is a team game, and you have got to love it.”

We just got out god squaded. Losing Klein hurts.

[Katpappy]

I liked parts of our defense; especially the front line and middle linebackers.  Also really enjoyed Sams as QB of our team and liked that the coaches limited the plays that Waters did.  Waters ran better too. 

[Super PurpleCat]

Yeah when they started praying on our field I was looking for my Slayer t-shirt.

[The Whale]

I was encouraged by this:  Sams 6.6ypc, Hubert 6.0ypc, Baylor 3.1ypc.

I mean, you look at those numbers alone and know that Sams and Hubert combined for 45 carries and there really shouldn't be any way to lose.

And then you look at Baylor's 15.8 YPA.

Oh.  Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.

Damnit.
