What's you win prediction for next season Chris?

I am actually watching the Insight Bowl right now. I think our offense is going to be crazy good next season.

I really believe that we can and will win 7 games and play in the NYC bowl game.

My one and only hope is that PR doesn't forget how to coach.

2011 is far worse...

Yep, the defense is going to have to get much faster (especially up front) for us to go bowling in 2011.

Something I think that we are really going to need are defensive ends that are fast enough to actually run down opposing quarterbacks. We haven't had one of those since Berryman.

Too early for me right now. Although, I don't think that 6-6 and another lower-tier bowl game is crazy. Do you?

The only thing I have a question about is calling UNI a cupcake. We all know what they did in Iowa City Last year and didn't they beat us the last time we played them? I am not disagreeing with you but wondering if they lost a lot from last years squad? I know Grace is gone at qb...

Nope.

I actually have a pretty good feeling about the game in Iowa City as well for some reason.

8 wins.

They lose 9 starters on offense and 6 on defense. This should be a cupcake for a Big 12 team this year. Obviously, it doesn't always work out that way.

**snowcraig2.0** · 02-23-2010, 04:57 PM

I didn't realize UNI lost that much. We should win by 3 TD's.

**Al_4_State** · 02-23-2010, 04:57 PM

Good read Chris. I've been saying 6 wins is a good goal, but when I looked at each game individually, and picked the winner, I came up with 7 ISU wins. There are only two guaranteed losses on this schedule, IMO, but we're going to lose more than that.

**cstrunk** · 02-23-2010, 04:58 PM

6 wins.

UNI will be jacked up as usual, but with all they lost, we should get a little revenge for '07. That's still the worst I've felt leaving Jack Trice. Even worse than Mizzou '04, because I was still "happy to be there" after the '03 debacle. That loss was utterly humiliating, and I remember thinking we weren't going to win another game that year.
