Great run. Super important for the D to not turn around and give up points here before halftime.

……. and naturally straight down the field for a tying touchdown. It is so maddening watching this team.

Our defense was completely confused on that last play.

That **** happens entirely too often to this unit.

No one know who had the tight end.

I think Knighten is more of a receiving threat.

Losing football. Terrible discipline on the drive and then handing a TD on terrible late hit blunder. This K state team isn't very good. This is a terrible performance so far

*Turns the game on just in time to watch KSU do a two-minute drill with ease. Immediately turns game off.*

I seriously think we would have held them to a FG because the clock was gonna run down if Reed hadn't committed that stupid penalty.

You're not alone. Most of the fans seem to have given up on Dave.

They are 4-1.

I had been counting that as a potential win for us this season.

Obviously that was a mistake.

EDIT: actually there's just under a minute left in the 2nd quarter, ISU ball at midfield.

Dave Aranda being 2-3 when tied at half is so on brand for him. He manages to lose more than he wins when the odds are 50/50.

FIRE ARANDA!!!!!!!! He's just AWFUL as a head coach AND defensive coordinator. He's had more than enough time to prove himself, and he has proven himself...to be BAD.

We should be up by two scores and we're tied.

Welcome to the Dave Aranda experience.

We shouldn't be counting anyone as auto wins, as if we are some powerhouse, Not sure why anyone would be automatically chalking up a win at UC.

This game is a perfect example of why I say weekly Dave has to go.
Did anyone really doubt they weren't going to answer with 7 before half

Iowa St as I've said all year is grossly overrated.

Cincinnati is much improved but how could they not be after last year.

This is similar to Neal Brown's bounce back year 2 years ago in Morgantown and Aranda last year. Satterfields seat was scorching hot.

Cincinnati's offense has improved tremendously since the Nebraska game. I shudder to think what they're going to do our defense.

Section 219 emptying out. KSU fans out number anyway. Program set back 20 years. Hard to watch.
