I expect
ISU to be somewhere around 5-7 next season. 4-8 wouldn't surprise me and I'd be elated with 6-6. Hawk fan on the other hand assume that they'll be playing NYD every year. Even though their team went 6-6 last season and there are very few reasons to think that they'll be much better. Then again, they've played on NYD with a 7-5 record before, so who's to say they can't do it again (even if it's a joke to be rewarded with that bowl with that record).
Unless KF starts adjusting his schemes, I not only expect
ISU to beat iowa regularly, I expect them to pile up losses in the Big 11. Lining it up and trying to overpower the opponent is not the only way to win now. It will keep them in games against Wisconsin and PSU, but it will also allow them to lose to teams like Minnesota and Indiana.
