We did the same thing in Stillwater. Compounds. And the next play was inevitably a breakout run. Needed to clear their heads.

It is.
But pulling back, we were in a game vs a team that could weasel into the B12 title with OUR THIRD STRING QUARTERBACK.
I think our playcalling and approach was tops. Lance and co rules.

In perspective, this would be like the Bills loosing to the Dolphins by less than a TD after a controversial call, with the Bills playing Shane Bueschele.

Yeah. We were very lucky against OU because we tried to give it away. Teams looked at that and let us beat ourselves afterward
OSU did it before OU.

Tech was more bad play calling and clock management.

Tonight, Yeah.

I will say, I remember once feeling this way after basketball losses, which I just simply don’t feel anymore, regardless of loss.

It’s a welcome renewal.

Game plan tonight was terrific.

Also another game where, with a healthy Bean, I think we win.

I think we are 9-2 good in normal circumstances.

Amazing to be having this conversation in Lance's 3rd year.

Also I still blame our jerseys.
Black?
ksu wears black.

Jerseys.
Texas Tech cheap shots knocking out Bean.
Phantom Hold giving ksu 7.
Rich Miller dropping 7.
Trevor Wilson.
No helmet to helmet.

If Lance and Jalon are back next year I like our chances.
I would like to agree but the O-line is going to be gutted after this year. Losing a lot of pieces on defense too...
