Predictions: Texas Tech @ Iowa State

**GMackey32** · 09-20-2012, 01:04 PM

ISU 27

Tech 23

I also predict that Ricky Sailor still has nightmares about Michael Wagner

How do you arrive at that? Our squad has given up 8 TO's in three games including averaging 3.5 TO's in the last two games. Tech has exactly half of that number, 4 TO's in their three games. You might play the cupcake card and say well they haven't faced a real team yet, but in the Cyclones' one cupcake game they still turned it over 3 times, just one shy of Tech's season total.

I'm confident that ISU can play with Tech in many facets of the game. Right now I am not confident that ISU will win the turnover battle. Any Cyclone fan who has been paying attention should be concerned about this facet of our team's performance.

Preseason I said. ISU 35 tech 28

"Massey" or whoever says ISU 31 tech 28.

I'll stick with somewhere a long those lines. A tight game with Iowa state pulling out a win in the end.

Well, we beat them 41-7 last year. Take away their 3 points for homefield, and give us 3 points for homefield. Then give them 1 point for having a new JUCO Linebacker. Take away 7 points from us from them having a new DC. Give us 2 points for the intagibles from Bueker's captaincy.

ISU 39 - TTU 5

The math is there, folks.

Seriously, 34-31 ISU.

38-34. ISU wins in 2OT.

**ISUCyclones2015** · 09-20-2012, 03:10 PM

Just because I thought it was gonna be close last year and I was wrong... ISU wins 40-3 with 2 missed extra points.

Best analysis!

45-24. Tech routs.

**cycloneryan** · 09-20-2012, 03:30 PM

I don't have a lot of faith that the turnovers are going to stop against Tech but I think it is still a close one.

TT - 27
ISU - 14

Clones drop a 50 bomb and the guns go down

You all disgust me.

because he is a huge homer and makes his predictions based on his heart and not his head (ie, "TTU's average starting field position will be inside the 10"), that or his head is completely incapable of logical thought.
