No, I'm saying pay the extra money to get a team from further away if necessary. Respect to UNI, they test us way more than we need in the first game almost every time.
SE Missouri St line?
- Thread starter jakemcilroy
- Start date
I’m not sure we win by 38 points on week 1 based off our history.
Right? At some point no incentive to extend a 30 point lead. 48-3 for a comfy win? Not ISUs thing traditionally.
Plus, SEMO's coach used to be on Campbell's staff at Toledo. Campbell won't run up the score on him.
I remember thinking our UNLV line last year was stupid high and we could have beat them by a hundred.
"As they say," history is no indicator, but covering that spread seems unrealistic.
Quick look (correct me if I missed something):
Most-recent time Iowa State won by 38+ vs non-FBS: Tennessee Tech, 2002 (58-6)
Most-recent time Iowa State won by 38+ in season opener: UNI, 2001 (45-0)
Of course, Iowa State has bulldozed FBS/conference opponents by 40-plus now & again. But opener+FCS doesn't seem to be a kind combo.
Yeah, if ISU get up by 20 Campbell will be pulling everyone, especially if the defense is crushing SEMO.
Fuckme, isn't this horse dead yet. Please stop beating it.
Campbell teams are horrific to start the year.. I may put the kids 529's on SEMO to cover. 2-way parlay on that and SEMO first half cover
This screams 42-3, 45-3, 48-7 type of game, even with out opener struggles. This will arguably be the worst team we have played in the Campbell era.
