Something just did not feel right.  I looked around and the student section was in amazement of our 20-0 halftime lead.  As expected, it seemed too good to be true.  Led by a veteran and highly skilled QB, Kansas scored 21 straight second half points to take the lead it would never give up.  You have got to give credit to Reesing for making some big throws and leading the comeback.  Kerry Meir also had a huge game receiving for the Jayhawks, seeming to kill the Cyclones' second half momentum.  Those really are the games a bowl team will pull out and a young inexperienced team will give up.  I think we really saw what we expected—a very young team with success within arm’s reach, only to see it slip away in an instant.  We expected some road-bumps along the way throughout the season, and this game certainly showed the youth and inexperience we have on our roster right now.  With every moral victory, a tough loss like this can still be painful the following week, but the Cyclones really need to flush this down the drain and focus on a young Baylor squad.  Bears quarterback Robert Griffin is a young but phenomenal athlete, one of those players who gives D coordinators nightmares.  Hopefully, they can shut down Griffin and finally get a much-needed road victory in Waco.

Now I was going to do some more segments, but this would make this week's blog way too long for you all want to read, so I am going to go straight to my Tivo time, because this week’s full of dynamite games.
