ISU 37 - OSU 31 in double overtime. Woody scores the game winning touchdown. Oh wait...

 

[d4nim4l]

Wow. One post to predict an ISU win?

Love the optimism but this offense is in disarray and when you're starting you're seventh offensive line combination in as many games it's going to be tough to muster up enough to win.

PAAAAAIN

 

[Daserop]

Just like every other week. ISU will lose.

lol... no way anyone on our defense catches an interception.

 

[Goothrey]

Pain.

I honestly think Iowa State will win 21-17, is my bet. Backed up against the wall. The players called a "players only" meeting this week. They will have their **** together. The weather is suppose to be cold and blustery, seems like it has become an advantage.

Unless the ball gets lodged in our defenses facemask, we wont be intercepting anything.

1st QT:
ISU tries to establish the run with various runs up the middle but the line is shaky and only manages a yard or 2 each run. This forces Sam to try to convert 3rd and long but OSU's pressure forces Sam to scramble for a few yards that don't convert.

OSU's offense comes out throwing on it's first couple of possessions but ISU is able to get enough pressure to make the QB uncomfortable and their offense only manages a few drives for a couple of field goals mainly due to KVD's leg in a field position battle.

ISU=0 OSU=6

2nd QT:
ISU Starts throwing deep but the line can't give Sam enough time for the plays to develop, he either scrambles or makes throws too early that aren't completed. Luckily the return game get's ISU into great field position and ISU get's a field goal.

OSU realizes that they can run effectively and starts to mix run and pass. ISU's bend don't break defense valiantly tries to slow down OSU but finally breaks and OSU scores a long TD and another field goal.

ISU=3 OSU=16

3rd QT:
ISU goes back to the running game thinking that OSU forgot that the Oline can't run block and is able to manage some encouraging drives. Sam while frazzled is able to connect on some intermediate passes.

OSU offense starts clicking and moves the ball fairly easy and scores couple of times but untimely turnovers makes this a game.

ISU=13 OSU=26

4th QT
ISU thinking that OSU will try to stop the somewhat succesful running game tries to throw deep again. Sam who has been trying to navigate a leaky line all game starts getting jumpy and runs into pressure inspite the Oline actually providing decent protection. ISU still manages a score.

OSU figures out the defense and scores on a will draining drive even though ISU tries a furious comeback they fall short.

ISU=23 OSU=33

It would of been easier to just say ISU loses 33-23. Also, that is the most random amount of points to lose by 33 points to 23 points?

 

[Cyclonepride]

Keeping with my 30 year tradition of always picking ISU........I think the defense plays with passion and the offense plays with some pride after last week's debacle. ISU 31-24

 

[TheJackWePack5]

I wouldn't be surprised to see ISU win. This is ISU football, we play an awful game or 2 in a row and then come out and give the fans hope again. Whether its a close win or a close loss, these boards will be a little less harsh come next week, unless we got whooped by 30.

 

[GoClones123]

The Germans didn't quit after they bombed Pearl Harbor. Things didn't look good, people were feeling down, but they dug deep and won one for the Gipper.

For that reason, I firmly believe that the team will show up and play football.

Ummmmm.....I don't think the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. I think your optimism is as misled as your knowledge of history.

Wow, your comment is terrible. You have no knowledge of pop culture do you.

But then you would miss out in my boiler plate description of every ISU game.

Duhh... Everyone knows England bombed Pearl Harbor to tricking FDR into declaring war on Japan knowing full well that means the Germans would quickly declare war on the US. Read a friggin book for once.
