Obviously, no one wanted ISU to be backed into this situation, but once we knew we needed to find an opponent for 12/1, this is EXACTLY the sort of team I wanted ISU to play -- a poor FCS team. Getting freshmen and other second-stringers involved will keep all of them more engaged in practices during the LONG month of November (at a point in the season when freshmen are used to being all done with football practice). Should help build team chemistry and morale. Give us a win - increased chances of a bowl if we need it -- hell, what if we are sitting at 9-2 - who wouldn't want a chance to get that 10th regular season win!
Great deal!
