The game in October 2017 marked the 101st straight year the two teams have met.

We also now have the longest win streak at 11. Since 2008

I don't think Thompson's injury is a knee. I think it is something like a badly bruised T band (side of the quad) - which hurts like a MOFO. His lateral movement was fine, actually really good. That's super difficult with any kind of a knee injury.

Possibly so, but he looked to be reaching for his knee on a couple of plays and then on those in which he ran, he sort of reminded me of how Ertz was looking/falling at the end of runs. I guess he just needs to learn how to slide.

Hard to slide when you are on a rushing play going for maximum yardage.

And a quick shout out to Iowa State's #10 who was tracking Zuber every step he took until Thompson reversed field and ran to the right. He then left Zuber all alone in the end zone.

I believe the other DB/Safety was supposed to stay with Zuber, based on #10's reaction to the DB closest to Zuber. #10 came up when it appeared Thompson might try and run it in. #7-Lanning popped Zuber pretty good after he caught it.

I think I went through every emotion on that play. Before the snap, i was pretty positive until I saw the formation. After the snap I was cussing. As Thompson started scrambling to his right, I was sure there was going to be a very disappointing finish. When he threw the ball, I had hope again. On the catch, I was off the couch howling victory.

I loved the last drive. I just wish most of the Cats' offensive possessions looked like the last two drives.

I love the way Barnes runs, but I hate it when Dimel sends him sideways. The toss play where he threw the jump pass is the kind of formation a back like him needs. Get down hill now--inside zone or outside zone/stretch--, make a cut, off to the races. Warmack and Silmon are the zone read guys. I know that makes it easier on the defense, but Warmack saved the game despite the play calling.

Still happy with the result. I would love to see the SEC team in a bowl. A rematch with Vandy would be fun.

Gee, Vandy has a 5 -7 record. I don't think they are going bowling Dude.

Missouri is rumored in Liberty - Missouri and KState would fill up that stadium easy - and it’s a rematch of old rivalry -

While I don't condone the words Sean used....just not my style...I certainly appreciated the passion. There's a time where a person has to stand up for your beliefs and say enough is enough. I think some of this began building from the Vandy reverse call and other calls. After all, he is the Asst HC...I think. What a nice 8 seconds to end the regular season on. Well done players, coaches and whoever else contributed to the final win.

And, yes, as mentioned earlier, what a great block by Barnes to protect Thompson's release to the right side. I didn't notice that before it was mentioned.
