Yeah, I was laughing when the play-by-play guys were saying the team ended the season playing great football. They beat two bad teams to end the season after getting beat soundly by Bama. I really didn't understand why they were ranked #18. They were more like #24 or #25 at best, if you ask me.
I didn't come into that game yesterday thinking it was an automatic win like some prognosticators. After the Florida and Kentucky games, it was clear that this team can lose focus easily and get beat by teams it should have beaten. That was a game they should have won though. The D played well overall, but had some boneheaded penalties. And, Moorhead, Fitz and Guidry made their share of mistakes on offense. I did notice that Iowa had no penalties called on them. How often does that happen (besides Bama)?

They weren't the only ones. Our media and a lot of our fans were pumping that up. Beating Ole Miss is a lot more important than having a great football team for a lot of State fans. Which is why we are where we are.

I thought Iowa's offense was too bad to be able to score enough points to win. I was semi right in the sense we held them under 200 yards. But once again our offensive turnovers put our defense in bad situations.

It was BS that Iowa didn't have any penalties called on them. But our penalties are BS too.

I think this is the most important piece. We lost to an inferior opponent. They had the better coached team. That is disturbing. Out of all of our losses, this was the worst one.
