Cyclones lose 34-31 at UNLV Saturday night

Yes, I am disappointed that we lost, and that we had to come from behind to tie it and force OT. HOWEVER, to come back from 21-7, to tie the game at 28 in basically a quarter and a half gives me some hope. I was checking the stats on my cell phone throughout the game, our offense struggled early. Apparently with no turnovers, if I remember correctly, we had something like 50 yards of offense to 250 yards of UNLV offense at half time.

So ISU went for it 3 times on 4th down and achieved it, punted more often, and had WAY too many penalties, can't give your opponent an extra 91 yards. If I were Chizik, and I rarely am, I would focus on that this week (bye) before coming home to play a potent Kansas offense aka Reesing.

Kansas 38, Sam Houston State 14
