Man, I was very impressed with the way the team played for the most part. We were right there, in the game in the 4th quarter until one crucial play cost us a chance in my opinion.
Down 7, but driving with 1st and 10 at the Kansas St 27 yard line, early in the 4th quarter. McClain dropped back to pass and had ALL DAY! I mean it felt like he surveyed the field for a good 10 seconds at least and then started to scramble to his left and I guess thought he could get around the defender near the sideline but was forced out for a loss of 12. If he had simply thrown it away, it would be 2nd and 10 from the 27. Instead we’re looking at 2nd and 22 from the 39 and we never recover from there. Tough tough play for a kid and team that balled out this game.
Even though it kinda spiraled from there, I’m still real encouraged that we can have a very solid year and win more games than I predicted. Looking forward to rebounding next week against Baylor. The stadium is gonna be jumpin, can’t wait!
