O/U on how many points we give up

[cmjh10]

During this stretch

150?

 

[Rabbuk]

Way over that.

 

[keepngoal]

We beat TT, but give up 170 (30, 70, and 70)

 

[chuckd4735]

Under. Our defense is not bad.

 

[BoxsterCy]

I think your O/U is pretty good at 150. We aren't far enough into conference to have conference averages but the season averages are 165 composite for the three. Probably good with 150. Last year was 138 for the under.

Do the four team thing and add OU and last year was 197. I can't see us doing much worse than last year so I'd take the under for the four team total.

 

[Hoiball92]

Under. Our defense is not bad.

Over. Their offenses are way better than our defense.

 

[eddiepishammerd]

But, aside from tech those are good defenses. Our defense will be on the field s lot of possessions. I'd take the over, but not by much.

Uh, TCU's defense is not good.

 

[Wesley]

42 to Tech, 49 to TCU, 56 to Baylor.

The offense better get scoring. The kicker better be on the money. Sam better throw deep. Tight ends - be ready. Looking at yoiu Warren. Lazard, Bundrage, Montgomery - you need to get in the end zone. Wesley, Daley - you know what you have to do. Ryan - you need to break out some moves.

 

[chuckd4735]

Over. Their offenses are way better than our defense.

I think it will be close, but will take the under. I think we have the potential to lose each game 49-20ish. I think the more interesting argument would be o/u on margin of victory in the next 3 games. Id put that at 90

 

[Spam]

Charter should do a contest.

We give up I'd say 174 points

 

[Rabbuk]

Baylor and Tcu will each hang 70 on us, easy. TTU will hang 35 at least.

How can you tell?

 

[twojman]

We beat TT, but give up 170 (30, 70, and 70)

We go 0-3 and give up a minimum of 160

 

[cyclones500]

Under

Tech: 38
TCU: 42
Baylor: 49

129

How much ISU can score is another matter.

Id go...

Tech: 38 - 28
TCU: 49 - 24
Baylor: 56 - 17

Total points opposition: 143
Total points ISU: 69

 

[cyclones500]

Tech: 38-28
TCU: 42-27
Baylor: 49-24

 

[SerenityNow]

My guess is 150. I'd be very happy under 100. Would not be surprised if it approaches 200.

 

[twojman]

I feel our defense is improved but I think you are all giving them too much credit. ISU has played nothing but inept offenses so far. You are setting yourselves up for disappointment once we play some teams with offensive firepower.

I agree about our defense not being as good as some think but in these games it'll be our offense that kill us by not being able to move the ball. No one stops these teams, its pointless for us to expect our defense to slow the down. Our only chance is to keep the ball and put up points every time we have it. I think we can hang with Tech for a little while but the other 2 teams are on an entire different level. I think we'll give up:

TT- 45
TCU 55 (Patterson is notorious for being nice and not running up the score, see yesterday and our game last December)
Baylor-77 (Briles is not known for being nice and not running up the score, see yesterday and our game last year)
