ESPN: Lets make Big 12 predictions and mainly talk about the Kansas FBI scandal. Then on top of that we will talk about 3 other teams and forget about the rest of the conference!

Have at her boys!

Am I the only one who thinks the recent kicking woes might be a great opportunity to create a competitive advantage? Every decision is situational, of course, but I think we would be pretty dangerous if the coaches used the general philosophy that we're going for it on any 4th down between the opponent's 25 and 35. From the opponent's perspective, I would hate to have to defend this offense for four downs in that field position.

Knopick and Trumble to visit Iowa State.
Cody Mainquist / 2 hours ago


The Millard South duo have already put together impressive off seasons. Now they are being rewarded for their hard work and dedication. Knopick a Junior and Trumble a Senior will head to Ames this weekend to see what Coach Dresser and the Cyclone program is all about.

Conor Knopick is coming off a fifth place finish at Super 32. He also was the 55KG winner at UWW and represented the USA this summer as a World Team member on the Greco team. Conor went 6-2 at NHSCA Nationals held in Virginia Beach. Knopick was a third place finisher at last years State tournament, finishing with a 57-2 mark. As a Freshman, He was 51-4 and a fourth place finisher. He will look to capture state titles his final two years of high school competition. He is currently ranked 16th in the nation at 126 pounds by Flowrestling.

Isaac Trumble enters his Senior season coming off a state championship last year at 182 pounds, He had an unblemished season with a 56-0 record. Sophomore year, Trumble finished runner up with a 53-2 mark. As a freshman, he was 44-13 and finished in fifth place. This offseason has been a successful one for Trumble. Last week he finished in third at Super 32. He was 5-2 at NHSCA Nationals. At Fargo, he was a double All-American, finishing in fourth in freestyle and third in Greco. He is currently ranked #9 in the nation at 195 pounds by Flowrestling, and is #155 of the top 200 wrestlers in the class of 2020.

I really enjoyed this read.

We hear praise for the improved offensive line and hear many names. But not Sean Foster. Is he playing any at all?

I started with the Top 20 teams in ESPN'S FPI and looked at ESPN'S projections for each remaining game including conference championships. Below is how each team is projected to finish. Order is based on final record:

1. Ohio St 13-0
2. Alabama 13-0
3. Clemson 13-0
4. Oklahoma 13-0
5. Oregon 12-1
6. LSU 11-1
7. Penn St 11-1
8. Notre Dame 11-1
9. Baylor 11-2
10. Florida 10-2
11. Georgia 10-3
12. Wisconsin 10-3
13. Utah 10-3
14. Auburn 9-3
15. Washington 9-3
16. Iowa St 9-3
17. Iowa 9-3
18. Michigan 8-4
19. USC 8-4
20. Texas A&M 7-5

Assume instead ISU were to win out and beat OU twice. We would be 11-2 and there would be chaos over which team deserved the 4th playoff spot.

Prove me wrong. It’s just more solid. Rose is more multiple and is better side to side which helps take away that 7-12 yard area from hash to hash in the passing game. He doesn’t make the flashy plays that Vance can make on occasion but he helps our secondary out more. He’s also a more cerebral spy when called upon to do that job.

Looks like the next 2 weeks might be very cool

As of this posting (Wednesday @ 9:45 AM), it's ISU favored by 10.5 over Oklahoma State for Saturday's game.

What do you think? Too high? Too low? Just right?

The wife and I went to Lubbock for the football game last weekend. We do road trips for some f'ball and b'ball games several times a year. It never fails that almost without exception, we will see a couple of Hawkeyes fans all decked out in black and gold, at the game. Can someone help me understand what's up with that. If they are going to go to watch good football, at least wear something a little less offensive.

ESPN just ran the odds of every team's chances to win the Big 12 title. Kansas was at 1000 to 1. That makes me want to get my money down! ISU was at 8 to 1, by the way.

Well this is not shocking at all. Would concern me a little bit about CMC (even being an Ohio guy).

Looks like Okie State's RFr QB, Sanders, has been struggling. 5 TD/9 INT in last five games.

ISU defense will need to step up and shut down RB Chuba Hubbard.

Here is how we fared against some of the conferences best rushers in 2018 (not named David).


Barnes definitely got his, but we did good work against others (Sermon had Murray also).

What say you on Chuba?
