Crazy prediction for Texas game

[cyclonestate]

I'm gonna go WAY out on the limb and predict the x-factor in this game is gonna be Re-al Mitchell.

CMC has been keeping him under wraps, and there are four games left in the season, just enough so that Re-al won't burn a year of eligibility. Texas has no film on Re-al, and I doubt he is someone they've even thought about preparing for.

The first half, when our #1 tailback is unavailable, just might be the perfect time to introduce Re-al to the Longhorn defense. Not sure, though, where they will play him. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he and Purdy are in the same huddle for some plays.

Then again, playing in a monumental game in front of 100,000 hostile fans is not exactly the best time to have a true freshman make their debut, so chances are I'll be wrong. Just got this sneaking suspicion Re-al is gonna surprise some folks this weekend.

Doubtful, to big of game!

Don't tell Texas about Re-al. I am sure they are looking through these posts for possible insight.

JK. I agree this would make the most sense on when we see him.

I would not be surprised to see him in some sort of special package, but I doubt it would be enough to be considered an x factor.

Why does this kid get brought up every week? What’s the obsession?

Crazy prediction:

David Montgomery has more passing TDs than rushing TDs.

 

[TXCyclones]

If he doesn’t know why he gets brought up each week he’s also not going to understand that reference.

Re-al is getting hyped on here more than the back up Iowa quarterback on HN, I just hope you are all right and he is actually really good!

Lol fully aware just think it’s funny that people are obsessed with when he will play. Purdy is playing lights out yet I see Real’s name mentioned just as much.

Highly talented freshman that has yet to be seen on a team that seems to love to play highly talented freshmen.

Crazy prediction: Jamahl Johnson has a rushing touchdown and Brian Peavy is his lead blocker.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I don't see him getting in the game. I'd love to see him get some playing time, but I have a hard time seeing CMC putting him in a high-pressure situation without having any meaningful reps. Campbell doesn't strike me as a big surprise/gimmick guy. The 2 point conversion last week seemed like an outlier on the season.

IMO, there's a reason the guys that are playing now are playing. I think we eventually see a ton of Re-al, just not against TX.

I like the craziness in you, OP. Would be awesome if it comes true! Saturday can't come fast enough!!

If we are going crazy predictions then kene will lead iowa state in rushing yards

The odds would suggest you'll be correct. That's why I called my prediction crazy.

However, CMC is not risk-averse. He revamped his entire defense in the middle of the season last year, decided start a 3rd string QB (who had thrown only 5 passes his entire career) in Norman, and inserted a 3rd string QB against a rated Oky State team in Stillwater. He's not dumb, but he's also not afraid of risk.

Crazy prediction:

ISU wins this game 10-6 by scoring 5 Cyclone safeties.

I predict Dunn punts one out of the stadium.
