Just stating facts. I think most people would agree that ISU wins that game if we play the week before. We would've had film, made adjustments, and been much more prepared for a team that had been preparing for us all off season.
Help me out here.. ISU's best offensive performance of the day happened to be during the first drive, and then got progressively worse. Wouldn't you expect the opposite if the "rust" factor was substantial?
This is akin to someone saying Oklahoma State was too devastated by the plane tragedy in 2011 to win in Ames, despite the fact they preformed just fine in the first half.
