I don't think ISU will light things up on offense as much as people think. I can see Arnaud reverting to previous form a bit and turning the ball over a couple of times.

That being said, I see KU doing even less on offense. With a new quaterback I'd bet one of ISU's touchdowns is scored by the defense.

ISU: 27
KU: 13

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!!!!

I'm revising my earlier prediction of 45-17 'Clones down to 31-10. An easy win that is never in doubt, but not the 56-3 blowout I'm hoping for. Starters get some rest to prepare for UNL.

They definetly see this as a game they can win, which is why I think it is very important to score and/or hold them to zero or one first downs on thier first drive. If we beat them early they will fold up. If we let them stay in it they will play their best game of the season.

See I dont know if they think they can win....are they still behind Gill? Seems the players have given up on him, maybe I am wrong.

I'm still ticked that we lost to KU last year and I hope CPRs boys are too.

If KUs defense is worse than the one ISU scored 36 on last year I can see the final being:

42-13

I think ISU gets out to a good lead. 24-3... at half or 3rd quarter. Then swap scores 24-10--- 31-10 final.

Defense struggles some, but plays good red zone defense. Offense clicks right away and then shuts it down hard in the second half. Like 285 first half yards to 100 second half yards.
