This game really scares me.....i'm hoping its just me second guessing, but, if ever there was a trap game this is it....sandwiched between Texas and Nebraska, back up quarter back, a lot of accolades for the boyz....just a bunch of stuff to detract focus....which was exactly what i saw last week - a focused, aggressive football team - it was great.
However, if you look into the teams we have not done well against its been either a fast paced offense and iowa a true running offense. lets not even talk about teams bringing in back ups against us to then make a name for themselves such as Daniels & Reising to name a few....
So, for me, i hope Wallys touching up on these guys the 8 guys in the box. If KU comes in and flings it around, i think they could be in trouble. They want to establish a running game and then milk the clock - try to keep the scoring low. How bout this for a stat, over the past four games they have rushed for over 200 yards in 3 of 4 games. Luckily Beshears (former ISU commit) will not be playing.
IF ISU's offensive and Defensive lines play as they did a week ago, this will get out of hand. However, KU seems to rear their ugly heads to play us tough after coming off the past two games of getting blasted - they honestly see this game as winnable. Thus it will be more competitive then others give it credit for....
ISU 24-13
Who cares about the score - ISU needs to win this game.....then focus on Nebraska!!!!
