Well - if pattern holds. (loss, loss, win. loss, loss, win. loss, loss.......) then a win in order.

So what the hell. We win.

And if we do - calling for the HUGE upset @TCU to finish off the season after two losses to Tech and WVU

If we can stop Pierson, we should win comfortably 41-24.

If we can't stop Pierson, close game 34-31.

2013 - Nearly beat a good TCU team after losing 41-7 to a mediocre Kansas State team. Beat Kanas 34-0 after a 38 point loss to Oklahoma. No, it wasn't an upset. But no one predicted the 1-9 Cyclones to not only beat, but shutout Kansas and beat them by 34.

TCU went 4-8 last year

2012 - Close loss to #6 Kansas State, followed by a 21 point loss to a non-ranked Okie State team, followed by a 14 point win over a good Baylor team. Baylor finished strong in 2012, but was 0-4 in conference when we played them.

2011 - Loss to A&M by 14 but if I recall correctly it should've been by much more after the first half. Followed it up with a 34 point win over #19 Texas Tech. Texas Tech won 2 conference games in 2011.

2010 - #6 OU beats us 52-0, we beat #22 Texas @ Texas by 6 the following week. Texas won 2 conference games in 2010.

I'm sorry. I don't see this pattern of rallying the troops after a blowout loss. The pattern I see is that if we play a crappy team, we have a chance and probably win. If we play a good team, we get beat. If we play a really good team, we get blown out. As stated earlier, this Kansas team is terrible. So I believe we win and probably by 3 TD's.

IF we lose Saturday, Rhoads should be canned immediately, a loss to Kansas is inexcusable.

So were the UNI and NDSU games... I'm off the Rhoads bandwagon.

I honestly think we are going to lose. Kansas is pining for this game and we have a depleted front 7 on D.

Seriously... People think we are going to lose to KANSAS? Wow. Probably the same people saying we were going to lose to them last year.

ISU 34-14, KU scores a garbage td to make it look a little better.
7 17 10 0- 34 ISU
0 7 0 7-14 KU

We are bad, but no where near KU level.

ISU's defense has been atrocious the past two game, and in the past two games they have allowed teams to score 20 points over their average. That being said, I fully expect KU to score 28-35 points. Can ISU's offense score more, yes. However, if the offense is not on, KU will win.

I think there are too many question marks about who is going to play for ISU to predict anything. If they can get Jensen, Richardson, and Tharpe back on the field at close to full speed, then ISU wins by 14. If not, it could be a battle of bad to the end.
