I guess my point is that if we're gonna treat UNI like Oklahoma and get into dog fights each year, schedule an FCS team you will be confident you can beat. Should not be this close every time.

I'd rather schedule a great team so at least it isn't as embarrassing late in the year when they keep repeating our ****** performance game 1 and have to mention Louisiana, UNI, etc.

I truly believe if the offense scored on the first two drives after the defense did it’s job, this is a much different ball game. UNI is in this because we are letting them which causes them to think they can win, which then makes it a close game which we could lose.

I don’t get the mentality of not risking anything in order to be conservative to ‘just win’. I feel like it takes a bigger toll physically and mentally having close games when they should be. Id rather play loose and get up enough to get some back ups in…

Agree completely.

We could have gone up 14-0 immediately in this game, just like Iowa did today. It would have been a completely different game at that point.... and maybe we blow the doors off UNI.

But we have Manning.

Was just saying the same thing. A lot of hype, I am not seeing it.

I've told people for decades to never listen to the hype or the doom - both are extreme takes on what is almost always status quo. The same experienced guys aren't going to some how improve 100% in an offseason, despite what the spin might indicate.

Fair enough! Would rather play Auburn or something and at least have it be a "good loss" if we're gonna come out so flat each season.

Well it’s at least another year of CMC being safe to stay at ISU.

For ISU to really be ‘there’ there has to be a better start.
