I want to see a NO DOUBT, ISU ass kicking, shut down their running game, no turnovers, and stop tying to out Iowa. The only advantage they have over us is on their OL, they are weaker at QB, WR and TE, I would say the RB are a push. We are better on defense at LB, while both side are unsure about their Dlines and DBs. The special teams are also a push. Becht will be one of the better QBs the squawks face this season, if we don't go into a shell and try to play power run football, but air it out, we will be fine. Stop their running game, and force them to pass, avoid turnovers and we win by at least 10, try to out Iowa, and it will come down to TO and they can beat us.
F IOWA
- Thread starter FallOf81
- Start date
ISU by two scores unless the turnover margin is at least +2 with a defensive score on each for Iowa.
I think playing k-state first really helped us out getting to a different level, earlier in the season. I simply think based on having more game reps, and a better quarterback, we should handle them. F*** Iowa either way.
I just don’t want to see you have a hard fall if we happen to lose. Those suck.
Honestly.. I agree with the gambling spread on this one…. ISU favored by about 3 or so…. just because they are at home. Large probability that this game is very close…. almost always is.
I think we win and win it close.
Not just because recent history of close games, more so that I'm still not 100% sure we have been tested. K-State has looked pretty bad. I don't think they should be ranked. Their last game was pathetic and they didn't deserve to win it. South Dakota as well has history of being good for FCS, but a new coach and tons of new players, they were not great as well
The saving grace, we curb stomped South Dakota and we hardly ever curb stomp anyone. Nice to see not play down to their level.
Oh, and **** Iowa!

Some mind blowing stats from Blum on the podcast:
- Iowa has out gained ISU only once in the last 8 years.
- ISU has held Iowa to less than 300 yards of total offense all but once in the last 8 years.
I just want a double digit win and to keep climbing in the polls. Just put these clowns to bed and steamroll them.
I am getting a significantly lower amount of vitriol from my Hawkeye "friends" this year. Not sure what to make of it, but F*** Iowa all the same.
