After the ISU football team's big win last Saturday in a high-scoring game with Texas Tech, the Iowa State fan base started getting pretty excited about the prospects of a chance to take on the #10 ranked Utah Utes (yes, that really is their name) today. If we could score over 50 points against a Texas team, the logic went, then why couldn't we keep up with an allegedly good team from Utah that hadn't really played anyone of note on their schedule so far this season? Maybe this could be the biggest win in Paul Rhoads' short career at Iowa State!
As it turned out, it was the biggest something, but that something turned out to be the biggest amount of points scored by the opposing team in Ames at Jack Trice Stadium. ISU went down 68-27! Though Iowa State actually had the lead, 14-10, at the end of the first quarter, those points had as much to do with Utah giving us the ball and a short field on turnovers as it had to do with our offense scoring. Still, we had some hope as the second quarter began, but that was soon dashed when it became clear that Utah could move the ball at will, and we could not convert a third down all game long.
On the bright side, as the photo shows, we took in some Walking Tacos for dinner at the game, and they were delicious! Start with a single-serving bag of Doritos, cut off one long edge, fill with seasoned ground beef, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, taco sauce, and sour cream, and you have a party in your hand that you can eat with a fork!
