***OFFICIAL IOWA VS WYOMING PREDICTION THREAD***

[HawkeyeMashup]

After watching both games today I'm more confident than I have ever been as a Cyclone fan about eating Iowa. We are far superior in every way.

After watching football all day I have revised my prediction for ISU from 6 wins to a minimum of 8 wins. I had no idea the Big12 was so bad.

UNI
Iowa
Akron
Kansas
Tech
Baylor
Texas
TCU

Keep in mind this is the floor for ISU, and represents the worst ISU could be. They will also beat eithe K-State or WVU and win 9 games and possible even Oklahoma St and OU and win the Big12, as it is really bad this year.

ISU-49

I don't care who you root for, this is awesome.

I actually cheer against the children. I'm a badass.

Brian Ferentz will probably be our biggest asset Saturday. 125 passing yards against Wyoming? I don't think Greg Davis could have even done that.

Iowa 8.3 yds per pass play
ISU 7.5 yds per pass play

This isn't 2A Iowa High School football. Your WR's are going to limit you all season long. You only had 3 players catch a pass lol!

Well I would say that three different receivers on 15 pass attempts is about right. Park threw the ball 35 times, so I would hope there were would be more than 3 different receivers.

Completing passes to 3 receivers is about right lol

 

[xrayhawk]

But to really think about it, no team should really care about stats. The only numbers that count at the end of the game is the ones on the scoreboard. You do not have to rack up all kinds of stats to win ball games.

so what is supposed to happen, 15 different receivers for 15 passes?? Its all about matchups, so if that was the favorable match ups for iowa, I don't care if only one receiver caught passes

If Iowa doesn't have to pass to win games this year, then they won't be passing that much.

More concerning to me was how Wyoming bottled up Iowa's running game. Although I do like seeing that UNI averaged 5.4 yards per rush vs ISU.

The point being made (and poorly, in an effort to talk smack) is that the more athletic mismatches you have, the more options you have. I did not watch the game yesterday, so I don't know, but the WR corps was pretty shaky last year, and there hasn't been a huge upgrade.

As far as this game goes, if Iowa State cannot stop the run, it won't matter how bad the hawkeye receiving corps is.

And then this happened.

Lol what a break. I heard Wyoming dropped a wide open TD too but didn't see it.

Iowa was down two of their best 0-linemen, including center James Daniels.(which will be full speed this week per KF) Still rushed for 163 yards...so I would not really call that "bottled up"

Your buddy Mashup said they bottled Iowa's run game up. That Walsh guy was out too? What's wrong with him? He's pretty good

 

[xrayhawk]

and state barely got 100 against UNI?? I would bet that next week the great ISU has under 75 yards rushing, book it
