ISU Chances?

[ban basketball]

I haven't been keeping up very well with the pre-season talk, but what are some of your opinions on UNI's chances against ISU later this month?

Re: ISU Chances?

educated opinion - UNI will have the best running back(s) and best QB on the field in this matchup.

Re: ISU Chances?

New offensive line vs depleted defensive line for isu, skill positions go to us. I hate their habit of trailing till the end of the forth and pulling an incredible td out of their backside. This is their only game for two weeks, no looking ahead. I'm a purple dyed homer so I'll go panthers 28, clones 17.

We play well, but come up just short. Clone fans claim that they don't get up for UNI, use only basic plays, and that its our 'Super Bowl'.

ISU 24
UNI 19

Re: ISU Chances?

Ah the clones, duking it out with KU for the bottom. Not much of a stretch that NDSU is the best we'll see this year. Oh, upset alert: KSU always comes out of the gate slow, look for a Bison upset...

UNI 24
ISU 21

I think UNI scores a TD late to take the lead and ISU drives down the field, but their kicker misses wide left for a UNI win!

Anyone know any TV for this game, beings its on a Thursday night?

My bad, the local paper had it wrong. They had it set for 7pm at Thursday. Didn't they play on Thursday a few years ago? maybe i'm thinking of someone else.

This game (K-State/NDSU) is on Nationally - Fox Sports Friday night 8/30 @ 7:30 for any who want a preview of the Bison.

K-State does struggle in early games, but I think the Bison go down in this one. I would prefer a win in Manhattan and a loss at home against the Panthers though.

On Mediacom channel 798 is listed as cyclones.tv programing, I would assume that it will be in HD on this channel. Just stumbled upon this channel today.

Re: ISU Chances?

Their kicker is an all-american caliber kicker..i dont think he'll miss many kicks. especially inside 43 yards. ISU will be better than we think. Clones could quite well and i expect to finish anywhere from 8-4 to 6-6. Poor iowa this year...ISU might have their biggest win against them in ages. UNI game should be good tho! Hoping and believe in a Panther win....wouldn't be suprised if ISU wins tho.

No, if there's one position I'm almost positive ISU is better at its at RB. That is ISU's deepest position and could very well be the best stable of running backs we've ever had in a very, very long time.

Your RB might have more yards or TD's than any of our RB's, but that's because we have 4-5 RB's that are equally as good as each other and will be splitting carries all game. Each running back is great in their own way. Whether it be running over people, running away from people, lateral quickness, etc.

ISU has a few nice running backs, but none with the total package of Johnson from UNI. Johnson has break away speed and can run people over. Nothing against ISU's backs, but none equates to Johnson. Depth at the position favors ISU though...
