Iowa St. 31 - 21 Oklahoma St. (2:04 left in 3d Quarter)

Well, that was pretty pathetic by the OSU defense.  On 3d and 10 from the OSU 38, Joel Lanning -- the ISU QB -- ran 16 yards for a first down.  And then, on 1st and 10 from the OSU 22, Lanning ran 22 yards untouched for the touchdown.

Iowa State has already scored more points against the Oklahoma State defense than Texas Christian did last week.  In all seriousness, how is this possible?  What happens to these Big XII teams when they go on the road?  Why would defense vary so much depending on where the game is being played?  Does the officiating have something to do with it?  Is it lack of focus?

It is simply unimaginable that the top team in any other power conference would go to Iowa State and give up 31 points through three quarters.  Even if OSU comes back and wins, this is an embarrassing performance.
