Poll: ISU -13.5 vs Texas Tech

[CascadeClone]

My worry is TT balls out like UCF did. They just lost 2 games they thought theyd win, vs instate rivals. They may be pissed and focused.

Or they could be hopeless. Its hard to say. Joey McG does not seem to be head coach material.

Its been said already (a lot - because its true), but get up early on them, and they will fold and mail it in.

But if i had to gamble, id bet the latter.

While Tech may have the worst defense in the league, Tech also has the No. 1 offense. Playing teams like that is always scary...

unless the team that offense is playing has the #1 defense...

UCF did not "ball out". What is the score of that game if ISU does not spot them 14 points because of turnovers?

ISU had a bad game, or clunker if you will. no reason to think that is a trend that will continue

45-10. Tech QB knocked out of game for second week in a row.

Their d line and secondary played really well imo.

Agree ISU played poorly for much of the game

They haven’t seen anything close to our defense. Best defense they played was Cincinnati and they aren’t even top 40. They’ve played several defenses ranked around 100.

34-24 good guys.

I could see this with a garbage time TD improving it from 34-17

The Cyclone in me never thinks we’ll cover. But -13.5 is too high imo.

Worst pass defense in the nation.

Looks like rain might hold off. Here is something to think about for those who like ISU scoring alot.

Tech has scored against decent defense. They have not faced a good defense but this offense is capable. Their defense will give up points.

If ISU gets up by 2 scores will we see the strangle hold by the offense to bleed out the clock? Knowing MC I think he would want to mitigate the strength of Tech and keep their offense off the field.

While I think we'll win, by two touchdowns seems too much.

Same. I feel confident in a victory, but I'm thinking 35-24.

Not sure how many teams Heacock has to shut down before we catch on that it's a pattern.

My thought process as well - they have the team structure to beat or lose to anyone.

Anyone know when the staff picks are made on CF vs. the Homemakers podcast.

I listened to the podcast today and CW said he thought it could be a 45-24 type of game. And then I read the staff picks today and CW says 27-21. Quite the difference there
