No, they suck - Iowa could even score 7 on them. We just suck in season openers, have a TON of new guys in key positions, and are likely going to have some big ups and downs this year.
First game ugliness fir ISU is a given. SEMO is probably pretty bad. But we had an insanely veteran team last year that barely got by a mediocre UNI team.

This is the type of game to start the year.

On the defense, I think it should be noted that a fair amount of SEMO's 2nd quarter success came with backups on the field. I remember seeing Jackson and Mendezsoon at linebacker, plus Thompson, Howard, and others in the defensive backfield. Now obviously Campbell likes rotating in guys, so they'll need to be better, but it shouldn't be too surprising that SEMO had more success against that group.

As for the first drive, a lot of SEMO's drive was just making easy passes against soft coverage. Other than the one long catch against Porter and Howard, the defensive backfield has done pretty well when challenged.
