I’m confident we will blow them out and people will once again be fooled that we improved from last week and all is well. Then reality will hit again the following week.
ISU vs Ohio Confidence Poll

I wouldn’t call it backyard lol, more like the holler. It’s a little jaunt to Athens. I’m not going down there. I have been to the campus though to help love a neighbor down there for school and it is a really pretty place. I’m pretty much a stay-at-home fan these days unless I have a perfect/super convenient setup.
Maybe Jay Jordan can give us some insight into what is going on with Vegas. I know that Oddsshark has not updated our stats after the Iowa game. Also, they are predicting Ohio to win by more than four points. They also have us at -3. Weird. Something doesn't add up.
I believe that last time we visited Athens we had Seneca, and still only won by a FG.
Were you at the game or at home? I was there and then watched the highlights. I’ll be honest I was ok with how he looked when he’d drop back to pass. I was surprised to see it when I wasn’t emotionally involved. He looked cool and collected and got the ball out quick. His release is quick. He lets things develop and was on time and accurate.
He had a terrible read on the pick 6, no doubt. Iowa is so hard to get over the top of when you can’t out athlete them, and right now we can’t so poise and accuracy is needed. Btw Cartevious Norton needs to work on route running.
I did find it interesting that DeJean was covering Brahmer the second half a lot. That kid is the next great tight end at ISU. Easton Dean has shown that he is better but his production will take a drastic step back as the year goes on because he will be supplanted.
Norton was so bad at that that I am not so sure multiple times he didn't know where or what he was to be doing.
Nah I was at the game. I'm not mad at Rocco with how he played overall. I think as you said he was very cool and collected. The game doesn't look like it's going 1000 miles an hour, which is great. I have yet to watch the highlights, and I'm sure if I did I'd get a better understanding than just watching it live. Norton did not look good in his routes and I think he might've had 1-2 drops as well. Noel was flat out awful too, dropping a couple big ones.
I loved what I saw out of Higgins. I think he's going to be very good.
This is a typical Matt Campbell season. Struggle against an fcs opponent. Get spanked by iowa but somehow have a chance that comes up short at the end. Play a group of five school and jolly womp them.
I thought Ohio’s QB was out, but he was back last week and UO beat Tom Herman’s new team. My confidence is less now, teams getting key personal back, in what is probably Ohios biggest home game in awhile, against a young offense, young OC. D and special teams need to be legit. Gotta have this one, a loss would be really, really bad.
I am feeling pretty confident. Pencil me in for 75%. The betting line a little scary, but I expect a healthy dose of Sama, who I thought looked pretty great (all things considered) this past weekend. I would like to see us stop traveling to G5 opponents, though. You never know what could happen if an early swing play goes Ohio's way, so I'm not going to 100%, but I expect pretty smooth sailing.

Theo was awful this Saturaday. I think he threw 3 INTs. Very overrated
I'm at about 60 myself. I know Ohio is much, much closer to being a UNI than an Iowa, and I won't doubt the defense against Ohio, but holy hell the offense is not good.
