I think they will run it well on Ohio, and the offense will actually function. Might even be able to finish drives for TDs with runs.

Defensively, I trust Heacock. I think they will get a couple picks too. Should be fine.

27 - 17. Decent result against a decent MAC team at their place.

Good offensive teams with bad defenses won't give us trouble this year. Their defense will be on the field a lot more than they're used to and our offense will find openings.

While the offensive strategy was maddening against a team like Iowa, there’s an opportunity to pick apart the Ohio D with our TEs and running game. Think NS and the offense will take a step forward

Feels like a 10-7 game at half, 27 - 13 final.

Just don't lose it. Losing sucks anyways but losing to a MAC team you scheduled a home/away series with is a soul crusher.

If we don't win by 14+, that's going to set a pretty low mark on the season. I think people need to be careful not to overreact to any score in this game. However, a Big 12 team with an 8 year coach should be feeling confident in these types of games. If not, then that doesn't project well, but doesn't mean we can't still see growth.

First time going on the road with these young guys starting.
Fingers crossed we get some more points going and the D holds strong. Do that and I think we win by 14.

But we are the Cyclones, nothing will surprise me.

Lol! I always appreciate your perspective but I'm getting a lot of mixed signals here.

If they don't play juicy wiggle in their stadium after we score the first 2nd half touchdown, I think those that go should riot and throw beer bottles on the field.

I bet on ISU moneyline. Seems like free money. It may not be a beat down, but I think they'll win by at least a touchdown.

Of course, losing $100 but gaining the CF schadenfreude is a decent trade.
