ISU: Needs to Work on Different Things

           The game I watched this week, that I thought would be the most intriguing, was Oklahoma vs. Iowa State.  This game was great to watch.  Iowa State once again showed no matter what they do in a game they will play a team tough for the entire game.

            In the first half, Iowa State’s offense had the ball first.  ISU could not do anything on the first drive because OU’s defense was tough.  ISU punted the ball away and the ISU defense was ready to come out on the field.  It looked like it was going to be a long day for ISU, but the defense stopped OU.  Later in the first half, ISU’s defense started to let OU’s offense dictate the game and OU went on a ninety yard drive to score a touchdown to make the score 7-0 OU.  This is where I thought the game would get out of hand for ISU because their offense could not get anything going.  Then ISU’s defense intercepted the ball twice to get the momentum back on their side.  On the two interceptions by ISU, they kicked two field goals to make the score 7-6 OU.  OU did score a touchdown before halftime to make the score 14-6 OU.

            In the second half, ISU was on defense, but it did not take long for OU to take the ball down the field and score a touchdown to make the score 21-6 OU.  ISU answered the touchdown by OU to make it 21-13 OU and this is where I thought the game was going to be close to the end.  OU answered back with another score to make it 28-13 OU.  The final score was 35-20 OU, but you could tell that OU could have scored at will on ISU because the defense was worn down. 

            This game may not have been close at the end, but ISU came to play.  The one thing ISU needs to work on is their offense and what I mean by this is they need to come up with more creative plays to trick the defense of an opposing team.  Here is a link for highlights of the game.  http://www.big12sports.com/mediaPortal/player.dbml?db_oem_id=10410&id=1083173&catid=34621
