A Thursday night national TV audience for Iowa State versus Texas. Temperature in the low 70's at kickoff. The Cyclones are poised to become nationally significant as they man-handle the Shorthorns. Remember, the last time Texas came to Jack Trice Stadium, they were better than this year and we were worse . . . and the outcome was a 24-0 shutout pitched by the Cyclones.
My prediction: Iowa State 51, Texas 14. Our offense is for real. And their QB is not.
The x-factor is whether Kamari Cotton-Moya plays. If not, then it may be another 31-30 toss-up decided by the refs at the end like in 2013 which was also a Thursday night game. Just can't forget that one! Hook 'em Clones!
On what grounds?Texas 42
ISU 13
Hope I'm wrong.
