Mobile QBs are our biggest kryptonite. That’s gonna be a big issue.
I haven't watched Cincy, but if they do have a mobile quarterback like you say who scrambles and can take off, I would think that's a huge problem for our defense. I wouldn't like our odds with that.

We'll see. A couple winnable games here and hope the Cyclones can keep up the strong play!

I've never liked the "this is our biggest game of the year people". But I'm gonna say it, this feels like our biggest game of the year. Get to 3-1 in conference, bye week, winnable game on the backside of bye week.

Seems like a chance to change the narrative and feel of the non-conference season, and set up for some back end success.

I'd love some back end success

Some of them were from the 18 or so. On the edge, but definitely in the redzone. Don't get me wrong, settling for kicks 4 times and losing a goal line stand at the 1 is going to feel like crap.
I think UC was first and two on the 2 yard line and couldn’t punch it in. Against Miami. Of Ohio.

I think ISU figured out something with Lovett on the spy, at least on third downs

depending on how this game goes, 6-3 in conference becomes a legitimate possibility, and 5-4 probably becomes the expectation.
