Sometimes guys actually play better on the road than at home. I think it depends on the makeup of a player. Some guys love going on the road.

Stanley doesn't appear to be that guy.

Way up there
WIth regard to the OP, to say this will be in front of "61,500 hostile Cyclone fans" is wishful thinking. As we all really know, there will be at least 10,000 fans for that school to the east. Shoot, they even get about 200 or 300 of their fans into the Sukup End Zone seats.

So many Cyclones sell their tickets to Hawk fans, in addition to the Hawks who buy online or even buy our cheap ticket packages just to get in the gate for this one game. The Cyclone fans who do attend are going to have to kick up their involvement a couple notches to truly make it a hostile environment. My guess is that this will essentially be a non-factor in the game due to there being so many Hawk fans that get in our stadium. And I assume this is basically unavoidable and that Cyclone fans do the same thing when the game is over there. But I have never been to Kinnick so I have no first-hand knowledge. Perhaps others can clarify if this does indeed work both ways.

I've been to the last 12 games in Ames and can clarify it hasn't worked that way since the late 90's. These aren't the Fry years anymore.

You don't have to believe me, just look it up. It is a fact.

Who gives a ****? ISU has a lousy football history. Nobody ever denied that. I'm not seeing what that has to do with Nate Stanley getting his first start in a hostile environment. **** off, troll.

The 1st quarter is going to be crucial for especially considering last years beat down. If we get an early lead and keep the crowd into the game I think Stanley struggles. If we get down a couple scores early and all the air goes out of JTS he might not be intimidated at all.

The most important half in a vast majority of college football games is the 2nd half unless it's a complete blow out but we found out last weekend you can be up 44-10 and you're still not safe.

We've also found out that a good first half or quarter means almost completely nothing for ISU football.

It seems that in the past when there was a lot of talk about some area of Iowa's team that was weak and ISU could expose, it didn't happen so I don't see whoever their QB is having a bad day.
