Mark my words:
ISU will not lose this weekend in a blow out fashion. In fact, there won't be any blow outs all thru this year.
The reason:
Our offense will make the difference and help motivate the defense. The defense will be tremendous next year - but for now, our offense will take care of the job in big games like Texas, Nebraska and Oklahoma.
I was at the game this past weekend at Kinnick. The first half they played like Iowa doesn't belong. The story changed in the second half, but that's not any different from the previous two games. We are always up by the half time, and we just GIVE UP by the end of 3rd quarter. When we were up by 4 by the half time, I knew we will lose to Iowa somehow - it was a matter of waiting and witnessing how its done.
My prediction:
31-24 UT
