Only saw the second half, but JFC why was Lester running on first down every fucking time when the whole world knew it was coming? I love Lester but that was awful. And before L Wade says it’s Kirk, Kirk doesn’t tell him to run on first down every fucking time.

2 scoops of ice cream for Kirk tonight. A win and close right down to the wire just as he loves it.

Oh and fuck this series.

Fuck it. I'll take that win. Lester was AWFUL today. Both lines are concerns like we thought before the season. Brown missed a couple throws early but can't complain too much about him. Needs to get the snap before going on the sneaks. Shaky there.

I'm choosing to enjoy not losing to those faggots.

What a perfect ending to a horrendous, excruciating game.

Tim Lester needs to be whipped with a hammer for his atrocious play calling. Iowa State was selling out on the run every single fucking first down and he refused to change until they got down 10-0, then they scored, and then they went right back to it.

The worst part about all of this will be the hours of TV, radio and podcasting that will be devoted to that shitty game.

It's Kirk! Meanwhile they took like 5 shots down the field which they haven't done in ages.

WTF is that 2 or 3 second rule at the end of the game if the team doesn’t have any timeouts? I mean I’ll take it, but that seems dumb as fuck.

The ANF podcast got ridiculous when they said that Iowa might end up being a Top 25 offense (hilarious), but they called exactly what Iowa State was going to do this game on defense. Literally said they were hyper stupid aggressive on 1st down crashing guys on the run and thought that was exactly what they would do and Lester needed to attack the deep safeties.

Lester should have watched it and listened to them.

They didn’t have any timeouts, so they would need to snap the ball at the exact same time the whistle blows to start the clock, which would not be possible. Time would run out.

Did they fail to reset the clock after that reversed-call incompletion late in the 3rd? I swear there was like :55 on the clock and they stopped it at :19, ISU punts and we get it at :10. Guess in the end it hurt them tho

It’s what every single opponent should do (and should have done) until the end of time.

I know it wasn’t what was wanted or expected but this type of win will hep them the rest of the season.

Not really, it's like the NBA 0.3 second rule. The other team couldn't reasonably run their guys up, get set and snap it in 1 second so they aren't going to do them a favor.
