Tulsa as 2 point favorite........
- Thread starter isume6
- Start date
Idk just was in some thread, I can try and dig it up if you want. Don't they have like 8 returning on offense and 9 on d or something?
Sorry goofball.....you dont get booted..and ive never been...for pointing out the obvious things. But good try Billy!
I wasn't worried about this game until I saw this thread just now with the spread.
I find it hard to believe Tulsa comes in and beats us. I'd be worried if we had a QB with no experience but we know whether it's Barnett or Jantz that the QB spot won't completely suck. The two headed monster at QB did manage 6 wins last year playing a tough schedule. They aren't helpless, they just need to improve. Going into last year I was concerned because Jantz was unknown and Tiller had only been decent a couple times to that point.
Fairly insulting to be a home dog to Tulsa on opening day. This will provide motivation IMO. It would **** me off as a player, I tell you that.

Hopefully the players and coaches use this as bulletin board material and huge motivation to work their hardest to prove the odds makers wrong. Go Cyclones!
Tulsa has been a solid team for the last 5 years (44 wins). The return a good amount of players. The question will be the QB position. I expected the line to be close but figured it would be ISU favored.
I kno Tulsa has a bunch returning and were a good team. That was last year.
How am I supposed to believe that Cody Green can throw the ball around in Ames against a pretty good ISU secondary after sitting for a year?
He couldn't against us two years ago with what I assume was a better offensive line.

With his history, he might throw the ball around to a pretty good ISU secondary.
Is Tulsa a good team? Yes. A good team in C-USA games. Since 2002 Tulsa is an impressive 1-16 against BCS conference opponents. 1 win against BCS conference teams in the last decade and people on this board are wetting the bed at night worrying about this game?
Sack up folks! Iowa State is in the Big XII.... a big boy league. Iowa State is playing competitive games with teams of a much higher caliber then the likes of Tulsa. It isn't a guaranteed win but no wins are ever guaranteed. Iowa State is going to have to earn it on the field and the odds are heavily in favor of them doing so.

If you have five running backs and two qbs that means you don't have one qb and one rb...
That NIU team was better on paper than this Tulsa team.
Rhoads has never lost to a non-BCS school. The day will come, but it won't be here.
