Poll: ISU -2.5 vs BYU
- Thread starter ClonesFTW
- Start date
Pros-
Home fave vs higher ranked team is classic vegas picking isu
Clones had a week off, BYU just played a physical team and may be tired or beat up
Long trip for byu after emotional game
Cons-
BYU power run game could really wear down our guys
Byu qb too young to know he is supposed to get nervous in big games
I think it comes down to Mouser and special teams. CANNOT lose on special teams, need field position etc to make BYU play uphill. And BYU will score, so keeping the ball away from them is the best defense. But you also have to score. 35 mins TOP wont help if you come away with 20 points out of it. Mouser needs to have an A+ game and the offense needs to execute too.

Not sure how the good guys are favored. D is beat up and O is struggling. Need +2 or +3 in TO margin to have a chance.
I’ll be happy to lose my money tomorrow. But I don’t expect to unfortunately. BYU does exactly what our defense struggles to stop.
I don’t know what Vegas is thinking. Rocco looks lost and our defense is going to give up 600+ yards to this team without Big Citrus.
If we can get the lead early, it will put a lot of pressure on a young BYU QB. We don’t need to score 40 points against BYU, we just need to control the flow of the game.
I picked ISU for the poll, but i have a unit on BYU moneyline just to soften the blow if things don't go well.
Pretty much echos my thoughts as well, just posted in the game thread
Since 1989 teams that were 7-0 and ranked going on the road as an underdog to an unranked team.
The ranked team is 6-24
That is what Vegas sees, that and don't care what team it is let Downs are real after you beat your biggest rival.
