Deace Predictions

[GeronimusClone]

Looks like Deace doesn't think much of ISU's football team next year.

Can't say I disagree with his prediction for our record next year. The schedule gets tougher and we don't know who our QB will be.

[Cyclonepride]

I think we'll be anywhere from 5-7 to 7-5 next year.

Deace is wrong but I don't know if he's wrong enough for it to matter. Six wins will be tough to get; we'll have to beat KSU, KU, Baylor, and TTU or UT again to have a shot...

[erikbj]

The QB play will determine if ISU has 2 wins or 8 wins.

[ruxCYtable]

I can't disagree either. Barring major improvement I think with that schedule even 3-9 is going to be a struggle.

[mustangcy]

I'd bet my house ISU wins more than 3. We may not bowl but we win more than 3 games. Bank it.

[CycloneJames]

I think we get more than 3 wins next year. I don't know about a bowl game, but mroe than 3. And I would be shocked if Michigan was in a BCS game, I think you need a defense to get there.

Isn't that pretty much exactly what everyone said about this year?

Schedule is a bugger next year.
UNI - win
Iowa - winnable
UConn - winnable
Texas - loss probable
Baylor - loss strong
Missouri - loss probable
ATM - loss strong
TTech - loss probable
Kansas - win
OU - loss strong
OSU - loss strong
KSU - winnable
That projection puts us from 2-10 to 5-7 if we pick up the winnable games.

The critical questions are:
Will the defense continue to improve? I say yes - in a major way
What will our QB be like? Crap shoot here...
Will the offensive line get the job done? - yes, if Osemele is back
Will the receivers learn how to catch a football? - the new ones will.

[CYphyllis]

Predictions for next fall made in the previous December? Really?

[ISUFan22]

The QB play will determine if ISU has 2 wins or 8 wins.

Won't matter if we have Jesus playing QB, if we don't get consistent blocking up front and more help from our WR position - we'll be sitting home in December yet again.

[Palmer]

Whew...now I don't have to worry about purchasing season tickets this Spring!

[ahaselhu]

The QB play will determine if ISU has 2 wins or 8 wins.

I wouldn't go that far. I'd say QB, WR, DL and play all need to improve, and we need to find capable replacements at safety.

I think we'll do better than 3-9, but I'd be shocked if we make a bowl game. That schedule is a bear.

[Tre4ISU]

I would put everything I have on the over for us.

So he thinks Michigan is going to change coaches and in Harbaughs first year, he willbe in a BCS bowl game? Riiiiiight.
