Looks pretty even to me.

This could turn out to be one of the ugliest bowl games this season.

Ugly Iowa State wins look a lot better than sexy Iowa State losses.

I honestly think this will be the easier win for ISU than any of the other matchups possible for ISU's bowl games.

Thanks for the information. Looks like they're about even. Just curious: I assume the ISU Defense is 414 total (169 Rush, 245 Pass)?

I live in Minny and would like to share this with some of my friends who are Gopher fans.

It is funny, to me, that you say Minny ONLY averaged 21.5ppg (as to highlight how low the total is with the word ONLY) and you follow that up with ISU averaged 21 ppg.......

Heres a stat for you all...

In the past 2 years, the combining score of the Iowa Hawkeyes vs the Gophers and the Clones is 118-8... Haha this bowl game will be a shootout... I will take the Gophers winning on a last second field goal. 3-0... ;)

Minnesota could make our defense look good. That would normally be hard to do yet they could do it.
We could also make there offense look great so there is always that. I like this match up. I don't see us getting blown out and that scared me when we became bowl eligible. I also think we could win this game.

Great post...glad you are on CF

I'm really hoping the additional bowl practices help the offense gel. We have got to score more points than we have been. Go Cyclones!

**adub3782** · 12-07-2009, 02:25 PM

The stats are a little different after Decker got hurt. The passing ypg is going to be higher due to weber throwing for 416 against Mich St.

With Decker
23.1 ppg 103.4 rpg 190.2 ppg Decker 105.4 ypg

Without Decker
19.4 ppg 89.4 rpg 209.4 ppg

Take out the mich st. game, which was Weber's career game and the ppg is 157.7.

Decker was hurt for about 4 and a half games in which minn went 2-3 and the wins were against mich st. and south dakota st.
