ISU 5 Point Underdog @ TX Tech
- Thread starter khardbored
- Start date
Heading down to Lubbock for the game! Hopefully ISU doesn't lay an egg. I could see this game being decided by 10 points or less. Not sure what to expect, haven't seen much of TTU to get an idea. Hoping for a Cyclone victory and a top 25 match-up vs TCU!
Of course Vegas is going to favor TTU - it's a show-biz place and Ryan Gosling is Tech's coach.
As usual vs TT, ball possession will be key. They are scoring lots of points again this season, ISU needs to grind out offensive possessions and keep TT's defense on the field.
As stated above, the key thing against Texas Tech is sustaining drives. Going 3 and out against offenses like theirs is a death wish.
ISU hasn't been great at running the ball this year, but this sure would be a nice week for that to change!

I'm sure Coach Heacock is watching the 2nd half of their game last week.
I see pass rush and the D-backs to be key here...can't give Shimonek 10 seconds to pick out one of their speedy receivers. This and sustaining drives and keeping Tech off the field.
Flew home last night from the KU game and I'm lazy today...when was the last time we had a 3 game winning streak against conference teams?

that kid has a really symmetrical face.
carry on.
We're doing a reverse chronological order of the prior 3 game win streak. Beat TTU (in Lubbock), then Kansas (in Ames), then a minor upset of #2 OSU.
A true test, we'll come away with a better read on this team Saturday.
Kingsbury has standards for who is allowed to play QB for him.
