Originally posted by FOTY View PostI am hoping for a game a lot closer than the 18.5 line. Anything above that will be disappointing.
That said, my biggest concern for the game circles around McElvain. He is a first time college QB starting in a full Jack Trice. If their defense is as good as advertised, there will be mistakes. Will Farley allow him to stay in the full game, get comfortable and learn from the mistakes throughout the game? I will be disappointed if I see Keller anytime before the final minutes of a game out of reach. And if it's in reach, please no Keller.
I get it, but two days before the game is not when I start thinking rationally. I'd rather have this game than all the others put together - but I'm a crazy kind of person.
Also I tend to agree with everything you said. If McElvain is the starter, keep him in. I don't care if it's 60-0.

I remember another first time college QB who started at Wisconsin and was *this* close to pulling it out

Who stayed up and watch the SDSU/Minnesota game last night? The Jackrabbits looked fantastic and probably should have won...
I know that's not really related to UNI, but would you rather have the Panthers lose close like that or just get blown out? I'd settle for a win.
/against any FBS team, I think I'd rather lose by blowout. I hate thinking about what *could* have been, even ten years later....

Just a PSA: If you're planning on streaming tomorrow's game and you don't already have it, you'll need to download the Fox Sports app. The Fox Sports Go app won't stream the game. I ran into this problem last night watching SDSU/Minnesota.
Just trying to save some time for those of you who are up and up on the technology

That SDSU offense. Please take notes.
They started to employ that full-house pyramid pistol formation NDSU has used to just crush, and the wrecked with it.
SDSU looked real damn good.
I want a win. Will be pulling for a win. However, if Iowa State wins I'd take making their b-holes pucker for 4 quarters.

Bottom line, SDSU could be pretty frackin’ good.

And I have no problem at all looking back at and remembering those close losses like that Iowa game or the Wisconsin game. Sure, it would have been great to get the W, but knowing that the team was within reach of going ahead late in the game if they had gotten just one more small break or two is still something to be proud of when you're going up against a program that has 22 more scholarships and millions of dollars more in football budget.

Last year's Iowa game, or the Zach Davis Iowa State game, are just horrific. o
-As painful as 20-19 Iowa State or 17-16 Iowa are I felt better about teams after those than 27-0 Iowa State throwing 2 pick 6s or 31-7 to Iowa State or being down 38-0 to Iowa and starting Colton Howell at QB.
23-31 to Iowa, 26-21 to Wisconsin, 27-16 to Iowa all "hurt" but that is easier to deal with than 38-13 or 31-1 or 27-0
