ISU Chances?

Re: ISU Chances?

Every year you see a couple of FCS schools scare the crap out of FBS schools.

The key to winning for the FCS schools is to be up two scores late. Every year you see FBS schools pulling it out of their butt in the end.

The painful part.... It's frequently UNI losing in those final minutes. Urg!

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.

I don't care if ISU has a dozen RBs. There isn't one of them as talented as David Johnson. And that in no way is a knock on ISU. DJ is gonna be playing on Sundays in a couple years.

Strong first half by the Panthers. They lead 20-10. Go up by 27-10 in the 3rd.

The Sowclones make a furious comeback attempt in the 4th, but this time, no Steele Jantz desperation play to pull it out. (In fact, that receiver was out of bounds, I still say).

ISU 24

Agree - one score just to be ahead by more than a FG- another score for the big12/10 officials who seem to get too involved in the 4th quarter.

Hope we have the defense and the coaching guts to keep the foot on the defensive throttle when we are up late in the 4th quarter.

Re: ISU Chances?

If we had the defense from a few seasons back I'd be more confident. I'm optimistic but at the same time I just don't know if I see CPR not winning this game.

Good Point.

He's following the McCarney model of never losing to UNI and beating Iowa occasionally.

Those are the only two games that matter to that fanbase. If they beat Iowa every once in a while they are perfectly content being Oklahoma and Texas' *****.

Its an utterly delusional fan base...

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.

Their punter is an All-American but not their field goal kicker.

Re: ISU Chances?

They haven't even made a decision on who their kicker is going to be.

It must be written in NCAA bylaws somewhere that Iowa State can't have an effective placekicker...
