ANALYSIS

- So, this was the game. This was the game where it all went to hell. I went back and started to watch the game (above), but I literally couldn't handle it. SO UGLY. Remember, this was the game where Boykin had one full practice as QB (Thursday), having been working as a RB for the last few weeks.

- Even the defense was off in this game, although you couldn't expect much. After such a crazy week, the chances of us doing anything remotely spectacular were probably zero.

- This was one of those games where we saw the potential of BJ Catalon, the speed and the burst looking very solid. I really like the guy, runs north and south with good instincts and natural speed, perfect. There should be a large stable of backs in 2013, but something tells me Catalon is going to work his way in quite a lot.

- Iowa State wasn't a bad team in 2012, but they weren't good either. Paul Rhodes is doing good things at Iowa State, but they still seem to have a talent deficit that will be tough to overcome. TCU was a battered and bruised team before they stepped onto the field this week, prime for a beating. But, something tells me that 2013 will be a different story, and Casey Pachall will be along for the ride.
