Glad it’s not a night game.
Michigan St @ Northwestern and UCLA @ Washington are the other two games also in the mix for those 3 TV slots.

So happy that this is not a night game. Iowa state is playing great and they already messed up Oklahoma's perfect season. They will be looking to do the same for us. 2:30 is a much better time IMO.

They want gameday, can they be ranked then?

Edit- even if they are ranked, penn state ohio state gets gameday for week 9.

In everyone’s opinion. Also means the team gets home at a decent time instead of 2-3 am.

Not totally unrelated: not sure we’ll avoid a night game in Lubbock. Week before rivalry games leaving primetime wide open for that one. OU often draws night games, so that 2-week road stretch may be made even more brutal by being night games.

I'm hoping a couple weeks of seeing the ISU backup QB on film will pay off for us. For as bad as they hammered Kansas, they only generated 318 yards of total offense against them. That's pretty bad. Granted, Kansas barely gained 100 so maybe their defense is greatly improved.

Still, the combination of them having our attention based on what they did to OU and playing with a backup QB should bode well for us. We won't overlook that game.

lol no. They play unranked Texas Tech this week. Even if they win big this week and sneak in at 23-25, that day has:

Penn St @ Ohio St
NC State @ Notre Dame
Georgia @ Florida
Oklahoma St @ West Virginia

The less road night games the better

 

[Gary's Shirtless Revenge]

The amount of praise Iowa State is getting is so overblown.

They will lose by 2-3 TD's to Tech, and if we play our game we've got 35-21 in the bag.

This isn't the NFL, they didn't have good players that just weren't working together. It's Iowa State.

 

[Pure Purple]

Hopefully, our home game with the University of Texas will be at night.

 

[Sebastian S]

Kansas scored 19 and 34 against Tech and West Virginia.

They were shut out by Iowa State. Plus the big one, they beat OU.

We haven't had that "brain fart" game yet - yes it is due to happen to any team, I am just hoping when it happens to us, it will just be an ugly win. Not like OU, Clemson, Washington....

They're better than you think they are. Lazard and Montgomery are weapons.

 

[Zubaz]

They certainly aren't the team that lost to Iowa or Texas. The new QB is way better, and they are utilizing Lazzard a lot better as well. Tech game will go a long way to see if the OU win was a fluke or if they are for real.

After Iowa state game, we might be seeing a lot of night games until the 11am Black Friday event

I'm still struggling to see how they only racked up 318 yards of offense against Kansas. In this day and age that's a really low number. 18/30 for 212 through the air and 43 carries for 106 rushing. It's by far the fewest an FBS team has put up against Kansas this year. I know, they might have been in 1st gear all game due to the score, but still, that's not exactly marching up and down the field. And Lazzard's stats this year are actually far worse than last year. 30 catches for 350 yards through 6 games, that's pretty pedestrian.

I don't doubt that they're better, but that OU game might've been just a major fluke, like our games against Kansas have been minus that one play that changed the outcome from a W to an L.

Just as it hurt Oklahoma not to get a prior look at Kempt, it should help TCU that they'll get a few looks at him before that game.

Plus, that win over Oklahoma should help get the player's attention before that game.

Did you even watch the game? The weather was definitely a factor. It was a wet and muddy mess.

They had a 45-Minute rain delay before the game and unlike K-State’s field, Iowa State plays on grass.

Yeah, we're definitely going to be playing night games in Norman and Lubbock, making a 1-1 split in those games a good achievement. Every break we get prior to that is welcome. Next two plus UT are must wins. Do that and we can drop one of those tough road games with no repercussions.

Iowa State has TD drives of 8, 23, 27, 35, and 56 plus a punt return TD. They were playing with a short field all day apparently.

That makes sense. I didn’t see much of the game, I was just looking at the stats and was surprised how little offense was generated given the score. I guess the weather was poor too. In any event, I think GP can give a relatively inexperienced QB some fits.
