While we didn't play well (particularly in the first half), we out gained ISU, we caused a few turnovers, ISU never scored outside of the 2nd quarter, and we had our chances to win. There's a lot to work on, but McKnight looked great, and I saw some good work from Kirksey, Wilhite, and Jacobs on D.
No excuses, but this game still seemed to turn on some bad breaks. Troy falls down on route in endzone to cause interception instead of touchdown. Theret goes down on contact at 5 yd line to allow ISU's 2nd TD. We miss the only inside-the-30 chip-shot of the year by Ellested. We miss the route just high off McKnight's hands in endzone in the 3rd and settle for the FG attempt. We settle for the FG after a 2nd and 3 on the 4 yard line. And of course, we fumble inside the 20 while going in for our winning score.
