Defense will have to create opportunities again. Our offense is 13th in the Big 12.

All the Wake and Bakes think about that for a moment.

I was wearing an Iowa State sweat shirt at farmer's market today and got good-naturedly booed by a Bearcat fan. That's gotta be a first for me in NW Arkansas. I said "welcome to the Big 12" and he laughed and said, "yeah, that ain't going so well at the moment".

Would love to see another breakout performance by a freshman or redshirt freshman on either O or D. We've already seen one from Rocco and Brendan Black. Sama, Brahmer and Willich have come close. I may have missed someone else.

I’m actually feeling like we win somewhat handily today? Is that crazy?
Ya. I am strangely confident today too. If they can avoid TOs and gaffs in special teams, they should win. The offense should be able to move the ball.

With our current trajectory I feel like we should win, but I also have a hard time picturing us going into the bye week 3-1 in conference just because we can't have nice things. Turnover-prone qb should help, though. I'll take us in a close one, though, 20-17.

Was unable to make the trip for reasons, but I am really looking forward to the game! The Bearcats are 3rd on my list of most times seen in person and wins (26-14) trailing only Iowa State (34-34-1) and Alabama (38-9). Let's Go State! Paint the Queen City Cardinal and Gold today!

Included in the definition of my username is to expect the worst while hoping for the best. I am hoping for a season changing win, but I slept with my nut cup on last night. GO ISU!
