Poll: ISU -7 vs Utah

[ClonesFTW]

True...I don't hear ISU fans longing for the days when we played...Texas A&M! LOL...now the original Big 8 maybe...

It'd be like if Iowa fans claimed they miss Ohio State and Michigan rivalries... lol

My dilemma is which will be stronger: The desire of Utah to win on Senior night or the lack of will to play on for basically nothing.

Special unis, honoring late players, Senior Night…they are pulling out all the stops to bring energy to this game.

if you're getting +7 it doesn't matter if Utah wins by 3 or Iowa State wins by 3

Right, but I could also see Utah winning handily and Iowa State winning handily, which is why I wouldn’t touch this line.

Utah has no running game, including a freshman QB who doesn’t run—and throws picks.

The one thing I can’t see is Utah winning handily.

I could see utah winning, but not by more than 7.

I think it's a good line, I think Iowa State will win by more than that but if you had a betting model that simulated the game 1000 times I'm guessing that isu -7 or more would have the plurality of results but not the majority.

I trust our offense to score on a good defense more than our defense stopping a really good offense, right now. So, I think this is a good matchup for us.

A close poll last week but the consensus vote was wrong again, moved to 2-5 on this season. Conference play majority vote record against the spread:

2024 YTD: 2-5
2023: 4-5
2022: 2-6-1

Non-wisdom of the Cyclone crowd.

 

[bosco]

Don't like it. Something stinks.

I think we cover and win by 14 and get revenge from the game in 2010

If we lose, it will be a 14-10 type game. Agree with others, I don’t think utah is capable of blowing anyone out.

 

[cytor]

Wearing all white on the road has equalled zero victories under Matt Campbell. Hope that changes tomorrow.

 

[wintersmd]

lol. Utah is desperate. Cyclones are determined.

But will we play determined is the question. We have got to run the ball better than we have

 

[Cycsk]

lol. Utah is desperate. Cyclones are determined.

Good distinction. And desperate leads to mistakes. I foresee us throwing 50 times and ripping apart their coverage.

Bernard averages 5.6 ypc, overall ISU's running game isn't great.

 

[CascadeClone]

Im down on the Clones because i just think they are beat up, worn out, and out of wrinkles on offense ( ie the film is out there).

BUT

I dont think Utah can score much and ISU can. And that 7pt line is begging you to take Utah. Both those make me feel good abt ISU.

 

[inCyteful]

This will come down to 4th Quarter. I think this program is actually built to want that. If it was at home, we cover spread much like Cincy. On the road, we either have to score or hold them on last drive of game to win.

 

[cytor]

Utah defense is legit. Gonna be tough sledding early.

 

[Lineup]

sure hope we open the play book and run a offense to win

 

[clonehome]

We have a lot to play for — everything if the CU@KU and BYU@ASU games go our way beforehand. If favorable, those outcomes tend to find their way into the locker room. It will shock me if Utah is the hungrier team.

 

[Remo Gaggi]

I think the Cyclones struggle because we only rush three defensive linemen.
