Morning After- Iowa State

Damn, this almost feels like a loss. Is this really how far we've come? We didn't woodshed the worst team to come into Faurot in a long time, and we still won 42-28, but it's a 'bad' win? I had this same weird feeling after the Ole Miss game, but I had high expectations that over the past four weeks have all been met. I almost feel like we're back at square one with our defense, but more on that in a minute. Grab yourself a Victory Whiskey, and let's take a peeksy inside this 14 point winner:

-Halloween brought Bret Meyer up from the dead. Maybe Gene Chizik just pulled some 'Weekend at Bernies' shit on him; 33-48 for 237yds and a TD. I can safely say that I didn't expect that, and I bid you adieu Mr. Meyer. Enjoy your arena football career.

-How many of you though Bret Meyer would come within 100 yards passing of Chase? 50? You're ballsy. If you said 13 yards, give yourself a pat on the back and send me the lotto numbers. Final line for young Daniel; 28-37, 250yds with a TD and a pick. I like Chase's leadership, but he needs to get back to the ass kicking Chase Daniel that he was early on this year. He hasn't had a standout game since the Nebraska game. Kiss the Heisman goodbye 'til next year.

-Tony Temple came back. Uhhh, thanks? T-Squared went for a whopping 40yds and a TD. More of the backups please Pinkeltoes. Derrick Washington, Jimmy Jackson, and Earl Goldsmith destroyed defenses, and T-Squared has shown us less than an Iraqi woman. Jimmy Jackson added another TD. More J-Squared please. Jeremy Maclin also hit Handshake land.

-The big news came that Pig Brown blew out his Achilles tendon in the 4th quarter, and is out for the rest of the season. How great to know ye Pig. Since he is a senior, the two time B12 Defensive Player of the Week will not be eating anyone's face off again in Faurot. It hurts because of Pig's leadership and tenacity. This leaves Lorenzo Williams as the obvious leader on defense. Maverick lost his Goose. Well, Lorenzo would have eaten a goose anyway.

-Relax on the defense please. Wasn't their best effort, but a shitty late 4th quarter TD and a pick-six off T-Rucker's hands, the D only kicked ISU 14 points. Backup running back Andrew Robinson did torch the rushing defense to the tune of 149yds on 21 carries. But the takeaways made up for that. Dap to Stryker Sulak. I call you out for sucking more than seeing Rosanne Barr naked, and all of a sudden you've come out playing. Violating Bret Meyer into losing the ball for Lorenzo Williams TD was sweet. The ball must have smelled like pot roast for Lorenzo to grab that up.

-Shakespeare's Pizza Playa of the Week goes to the defensive side. Sean Weatherspoon, grab yourself a slice and charge it to our tab. Twelve tackles (12 for you that are word inclined) and a pass breakup. Like Kristen Bell, I've overlooked you for too long. Dap to you.

After moving to 7-1, we go to Boulder, where the Fightin' Hawkins made Tech look like the little bitch we made them look like last week, but in Lubbock. We had a feeling Tech would start to swoon, but too bad it was this soon. Colorado has surprised everyone, and has more personalities than a high school lesbian. You just never know what you're going to get with them.
