Simply untrue. Right now, ISU unquestionably has the better RB, LB, and WR groupings. Probably defensive backfield as a whole (Iowa safeties are better but ISU cornerbacks are better. This might not be true by the end of the year). Iowa is unquestionably better at tight end, probably better, certainly deeper at DL. I think better OL but debatable. We could argue for a week about QB
Iowa is better in every category

What cost them the game?
They had Vodka Sam for their "water" boy.

ISU will win - big advantage with our weak linebacking core and DB's - combine that with your QB with a lot of experience in big games, and getting big wins, plus the wideouts that should be able to eat us alive. Oh, and don't forget about Montgomery.

Iowa will have to play damn near perfect, our Oline struggled to open up any hole in the first half last week, and if that happens again, we'll be toast. Our wide receivers struggle, so it'll be a lot of Fant and Hockenson getting thrown to.

Hopefully the RB's have a little more fire, like they had in the 2nd half, and hopefully Fant isn't dropping passes.

Good luck, should be a fun game that ends my day with quite a bit of disappointment.

That’s definitely not a fact. Iowa’s DL has a significant advantage over Iowa State’s OL, and the ISU receivers/Iowa secondary match-up is probably a draw. The big question mark is Iowa’s LBers. If Iowa State can keep them off balance and get Montgomery to the edge/in 1v1 match-ups with them, Iowa State will have a good chance. If Iowa can keep Montgomery under 150 total yards, they win going away.
Montgomery will have under 150 yards. His three backups will combine for another 100.

ISU didn’t have an OC?

Seriously, we would have lost to the Sister Mary Margaret Nuns College today. This offensive scheme sucks.

Pretty spot on, for the most part.
