Don't get intimidated by their rushing numbers, they haven't done anything particularly notable running the ball in the Big 12 and especially against putrid Florida. Their very spooky averages are hugely inflated by their games against G5 and FCS schools where they put up ~400-450 yards rushing. They're averaging well under 200 yards rushing per game against power opponents. If we copy the playbook from the WVU game we will destroy these guys. In games where they ran less than 200 yards they have lost. That will be the key. Big game for the D line and the depleted LB room. I trust our secondary to get it done although I do expect we will let a big pass go down the field once or twice especially in the first half.

They aren't running for 200 on us.

I was worried about this game prior to the season. Still think UCF is due for a "figure it out" game, but I don't see that happening in Ames. 31-20 ISU; won't feel as close as the scoreboard will say.
