Like normal it’s going to come down to the offensive line. And we will all see it to believe it. But perhaps this is the year finally.
Fan Duel evidently has our O/U at 7.5 wins... Thoughts?
- Thread starter Yellow Snow
- Start date
Clanton is different. Got to talk to him at the We Will Collective event. Very interesting philosophy. We have seen what he was able to do at UNI. Lots of success on the o-line.
I don’t disagree with that at all. I will just have a cautious outlook when it comes to the O-line.
Agree. Not to mention that this is a new version of the B12 that we have yet to navigate. It seems "easier" but no guarantee. I'll bet on individual games just plenty, thank you.
Not one single lifelong Cyclone fan should think that an o/u set at 7.5 wins is too low for us.
Nice that we get 5 conference home games and KU in arrowhead. Only 3 true road games in conference.
I know we can't help ourselves, but trying to project wins for the Big 12 next year seems really like throwing darts with a blindfold. Arizona lost their coach, and then some players decided to leave I think. Colorado has a complete roster turnover every year. I just think we know far less about many teams than we ever have. The best known team to predict is Iowa State with 22 returning starters. K State lost their QB to Ohio State. Utah QB missed an entire year. That is not usually a good thing. Just so many unknowns.
We could win 5, we could win 10, so much depends on what other teams have and we really don't know. Like many have said, it's just hard to believe as a Cyclone fan until you see it. We thought 2021 would be our year, Brock's senior year. You just have to play the games and see. But with all these returning players, you can't help but think again, "This could be it!"

How do you figure?
I felt like young players played well. And they all come back. We'll have as much raw talent as we've ever had based on post season awards. Still young, but older than last year. The transfers are harder to get a feel for, but I think next year has the potential to be amazing. I'm penciling in Iowa as the usual crapfest frustrating shitbowl we usually play, but if we beat the doors off the other non-con teams it could be a really terrific season.
ETA: Lots of other teams lost key pieces. Probably our biggest game will be at Utah, but that's (finally) late in the season when we're usually playing our best ball. Much different than playing OU in Sept.
Sounds like a coach at a charity event.
I've heard him at many charity events. Never heard him talk like this.
A fair O/U based on last season's results and current general expectations. Seven wins is hopefully the floor for ISU. Eight wins would be my early prediction. A great year seems possible for all the Big 12 teams in that published 7.5 range which means some team will have a breakout year and a couple may likely get only five or six wins.
