UConnReport.com - The Preview: ISU/UConn
"Iowa State brings an average to below average secondary that McEntee should perform better against."
Reeves, LJ and the rest of the guys the secondary- did you see that???
Edit- another gem:
"If you break Friday's game down into segments, UConn is the logical winner. When Iowa State runs: advantage Huskies. When Iowa State passes: advantage Huskies. When UConn runs: advantage Huskies."

Waaay too pumped for 8 am when the kickoff is still 11 hours away, but I'm going to do it anyway...
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh,
We will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State,

I hope Mr. Trick Shot pulls out that special trick that he used last week called 3 interceptions and a fumble.
Just letting everyone know that the game is on American Forces Network here in Japan. It starts at 9 in the morning and I am ready to watch it. I have been a Cyclone fan 30+ years so looking forward to a great season. With a quarterback like Jantz that can make plays, this team can do very well this season. So, I predict a Cyclone victory 24-14.
Looks like great weather today/tonight in East Hartford, 59 degrees at kick-off, wind around 5mph, temp dropping to around 50 by then end of the game.
ISU 31 - UCONN 13
ISU able to stop their running game, forces three turnovers finally winning the turnover battle and offense is able to run effectively while getting a few big plays!!!

Can't watch it live, but have it DVR'd. Damn Friday night games, hard part will be not hearing the score at the HS game tonight...Go Cyclones!!
Be sure to add extra time at the end...never know when a game might hit OT. :wink:
This jack wad doesn't realize that stopping the run is the strength of our defense, does he? Especially considering we have three of the best LBs in the country. And while our DL doesn't get that great of a pass rush all the time, they do a good job of preventing the opponent's OL from getting to the second level, which frees our LBs to wreak their havoc. Okay, fine, our secondary isn't great. But UConn is playing three QBs, the best thrower being a guy who can only hit stationary targets with tires and trash cans attached to them. I'm just not that worried about what UConn's offense can do to our defense. If they beat us, it's because their defense shuts down our Jekyll and Hyde offense, forcing them to make critical mistakes at very bad times.
The funnest part of these comments is how with this many flat out Advantages - and our inability to do practically anything - his final prediction...
UConn 24
Iowa State 19
Wow if UCONN has all of these huge advantages, and can only win a home game by 5 against a team that he believes will be emotionally and physically drained, ISU wont be able to run against them, ISU wont be able to pass against them, and UCONN WILL be able to run against us...
So i have this question for the crosseyed bandit that writes for the Uconn Rivals page...
What happens when just a 1 or 2 of the aspects of the game is advantage opponent?
I talked to a friend of mine last night who's daughter is an ISU student and she mentors/tutors Steele.
She said he could not believe the post game celebration on field last Saturday. His attitude was "so we beat Iowa......no big deal" . Sounds like he has his head screwed on straight and while confident has very small ego. I thought that was good to hear.

I'm glad we get to watch it but you a much better time slot than my 3 am(Kuwait) one. I will not complain though, this will be the third game in a row I have been able to watch over here(Clone Zone worked great).
