They arent a great team like they have been in the past few years, but brother they are going to bring it Saturday. I see this as being a really tough game right now.

I am looking forward to tailgating.
We are a tailgating school with a football problem!Quote:

If our fans put as much into cheering as tailgating we would be a very envyed fan base.
Tailgating is the one constant in Iowa State athletics. Everyone shows up, everyone eats, drinks and has fun. The football...who knows what the hell you will get?Quote:

I was at the UNI game yesterday and their starting QB got hurt in the 3rd quarter (i believe) and he never came back.
They have a VERY shifty running back - small guy kind of reminds me of Garrett Wolfe from NIU back in the day.
They lost the game by turning the ball over in the red zone on multiple occasions. They are a good team.
Oh, and pretty much all of UNI's points yesterday came on plays that went for 50+yards. They also returned a kick or punt for a touchdown.
I think this will be a great game if UNI can fix their serious ball security issues. 5 fumbles in the red-zone in 2 games. They should have scored 40 in the last two games and I expect they will move the ball against ISU, but it's not going to matter if they turn it over.
I think SFA pretty well showed how to get the UNI defense on their heels (at least in the first half). Quick, precise, short passes, no huddle offense making it difficult to make defensive substitutions. They averaged a play like every 18 secs.
I'm sure UNI is pretty good this year, but I think this is one game where the Cyclones will be able to physically manhandle them (as they should). I think it also helps that it's the 4th game of the season, as the team will be clicking a bit better.
I'll guess ISU 45, UNI 17

I just think our guys need to look in the mirror and step up. We dont have a leader on D/O. Its time to stop messing around and earn the right to be a D-1 player.
I'm looking forward to my first tailgating experience ever. Marching band for 4 years and this is the first game I get to come back as a fan. Hopefully, it'll be a wonderfully memorable experience.
