I think his goal was likely to at least force them to punt. I think they should have had to run a 4th down play.

Are their fans aware that Campbell really sucks at some important aspects of football. He’s elevated them, but only because they are a historically bad program. But this is it, they can push to 9 wins once every 4ish years. Push to 4ish every four. The rest in the 7ish range.

Matt Campbell's decision to punt at mid-field with less than 3 minutes to go down 4 points is one of the dumbest things I have EVER seen.

At worst, the other team is going to be playing for a FG, which with your timeout you likely get them to try one and get the ball back in decent position or get the ball back with a chance to tie.

What a fucking loser.

I am at a loss for what the strategy was there. Even Texas Tech was confused, they didn’t realize they just needed to take a knee.

He punted…then didn’t use his lone timeout until there was no reason to use it.

Let me stop you here and say, no.

The dignified thing to do would have been to sit on the timeout after Tech got the first down, quietly acknowledging they understood what their decisions had cost them. But then they called the timeout as if it would have some benefit, and looked even more stupid on top of it all. Fucking beautiful.

I love that 55 basically got away with holding on every snap……except for the very most critical snap of the game….then they rung that fucker up.

The refs!!!!!!!!!!

The only people confused at the end were Campbell and the announcers. When they got the first down I went searching for the I Love It gif.

This is not exclusive to this game, it is a distinct Big XII thing. I think it is running everything out of the shotgun that makes them inept when it comes to kneeling a game out.

They really didn't realize after that 1st down the only thing they needed to do was kneel and LOL at them running a pass option look on that last play before the timeout and kneel down that was dangerous as fuck and ripe for a strip fumble.

Williams thinks that this loss and a loss is a good thing so they can get a head start on the early signing period.

Campbell WISHES he had the clock sense of Ferentz. He’s literally trying to copy Kirk’s way to winning, he’s just a lot worse at it.

Williams is now calling all of his listeners and commenters idiots, and then he lets everyone know he is driving to Minneapolis in the morning to take his dad to the Vikings game.

Doesn't show up to Jack Trice for his actual job, but will drive to Minneapolis to get drunk and attend a Vikings game.

“Please stop yelling at me. I don’t have and can’t get any information” is one approach for a subscription College sports website.

It’s a game that even given the circumstances surrounding a frustrating season, Iowa State should still win. It’s going to be freezing cold on Saturday night in Ames and personally, I prefer the team with the elite defense, which is Iowa State. Feels a lot like the West Virginia game a few weeks ago. I do have a healthy amount of respect for this next Texas Tech coaching staff and do not believe that the Red Raiders will roll over at any point in this one though.

JARED STANSBURY, MANAGING EDITOR – IOWA STATE 10, TEXAS TECH 3
Give me this Iowa State defense in freezing cold temperatures any day of the week and twice on Sundays. I’m not sure what we will get from Iowa State’s offense. I’m not sure how much it will matter. This feels like a statement game opportunity for Jon Heacock and Co.

CONNOR FERGUSON, STAFF WRITER – IOWA STATE 9, TEXAS TECH 6
This game could see a lot of dropped passes. It might see a plenty of rushing yards – or attempts might be a better word. It could be a beautifully ugly college football game. I think you trust the Iowa State defense. You look at the weather and just hope you’re not kicking into the wind. Iowa State wins a close, low scoring and eventful game.

JEFF WOODY, FOOTBALL ANALYST – IOWA STATE 13, TEXAS TECH 6
It’s gonna be 10° outside with snow on the ground in a game between 1) an offense who’s shown it hasn’t been able to run the ball and 2) an offense from Texas going against the best defense in the conference. This one is LOW scoring. Cyclones get a win in a zany, fun one that we’ll be talking about for a while.

JAY JORDAN, FOOTBALL ANALYST – IOWA STATE 19, TEXAS TECH 9
Special teams and turnovers again. That is the margin here. Playing a tough defense in adverse conditions can be disheartening. Instead of holding up, I think the defense goes out and wins a game. The offense squeaks in a little progress and the Raiders go home to work on a win next week.
