After the screw job in Manhattan two years ago, I really really want them to get K State down there. Two in a row over that program would say lot about our overall direction.
Can Iowa State Win out now
- Thread starter blood94
- Start date
Improving throughout the year is generally important to win 8 games in a season.
We’ve played well all of the games imo. One improvement would be sticking with Hall.
No reason not to believe they can't win out. I am counting and rooting on it.
Winnable? Absolutely. I think that we win out.
I love to hear CMC speak, but it is usually a lot of, well, coach-speak. What I have not heard asked or explained: Why does it take us to half time to make the defensive adjustments necessary? and Why are we abandoning the run game or throwing trick plays when the defense has not demonstrated that they can stop the run game.
I loved that we nearly won the last game, but it could have been such a better game and I think that with a few exceptions that show up in the stats, we out played OU to where the score should have been a 14 point win in our favor.
Poor angles on tackles, not wrapping up, (don't get me started about special teams) and play calling that left me scratching my head. Lots to fix, but all fixable.

If notre dame ends up in Orlando and plays isu and loses big i dont think you'll like the speculation that happens immediately following the game.
I know I'll catch hell, but I think we lose to UT & KSU...it's just the season we're having. And you know KU has a hard on for the Cyclones and they'll play out of their minds.
Don't get me wrong. If a down year is one in which we go to a bowl I'm all for it. But Herman seems to have Campbell's number and KSU seems like, well, KSU...they don't really beat themselves. We do.
I'll duck now while you all throw your cans of Busch Light at me.

The only real speculation after the game, with Purdy throwing for 5 TDs and 400 yards, is that he is a Heisman contender in his junior season. I'll take that.
If we can play like we did in the 2nd half of the OU game for a full game, then yes we should win out.
The concern is that seems to be the exception and not the rule, playing a complete game for 60 min.
That said, I'm going with 8-4, and a bowl date with ND. Optimistic yes, but I am a Cyclone fan.

HellsBells the KU I know and hate "Doesn't really have any MINDS" to play out of...IMHO......
If,If, if, if, if...that’s the only way this team wins out. The most consistently inconsistent team I’ve ever seen. They are just as likely to go 5-7 as they are 8-4. That’s the story of the entire season. Do I think they end up 5-7? No. I just won’t bet past 6-6.
