I don't see Iowa scoring over 30 with our secondary and lb corps. This is a new qb that has played Tenn Tech and what 1 game last season?
Prediction: Iowa @ ISU
- Thread starter UNIGuy4Cy
- Start date
And your point? Iowa was ahead 34-0 when the starters came out with 4 minutes left to go in the 3rd quarter and ran out the clock to end the game at the 8 and had a fumble at the 15 in the 1st quarter that took more points off the board, this game wasn't as "close" as the score looks.
With that said
Iowa 31
ISU 17
Vandenberg has actually played quite a bit. Three games in 2009 including at Ohio State. Some mop up duty last year, and Tenn Tech.
As for a prediction: Iowa 38-10 as the backups give up a late TD to ISU like last year.

I think Matt T'afou was out too - he'll play some snaps, especially vs Iowa
My bad - UNIGuy4Cy had him in there along with Duck
I agree with alot of what is being said about the OL line/DL line play needing to improve drastictly to win this game. I think Rhoads get these guys pumped up for this game and it will be a dog fight/TurnOver fest...I say ISU 23- IA-20 and we score a defensive TD!!
Coker runs for 250 yards, Vandenberg throws for 409, McNutt has 380 yards receiving
Iowa wins 41 to 23

It's hard to judge how good or bad Iowa is based on Saturdays game. Can ISU win...sure. Will they?...I'm not too confident.
31-10 Iowa
31-10 Iowa
He was the starter for the Ohio State game in 2009 (sandwiched between Northwestern after Stanzi got injured, and Minnesota).
I would like to think that Iowa State fans would believe that Iowa State can win. Iowa's opponent last week was not a UNI. We had a lot of unknowns heading into the game. Took players a while to get adjusted and we have several players out for the game before the opening kickoff. I can see the players up for this game and playing better than last week. Iowa wasn't even tested last Saturday. Easy for me to see them loosing.
This is true. Two things give me hope though:
1)The D did not do much worse than what was expected. No one was expecting another shut-out and it seems like many were predicting UNI to score more than the 19 points they ended up with.
2)The offense looked pretty solid on those last couple scoring drives. I'm hoping Jantz & Co. found a way to get into a looser more productive place by the end of the game and it carries over for next week. I'm also hoping the atrocious line play was an anomaly that gets corrected quickly.
Watching the spread for this game is giving me a good feeling. There is a lot of big money coming in on ISU for this game, somebody out there must know something I don't because based on what I saw Saturday I thought we'd lose by two scores for sure. Now I'll say 24-20 Iowa but we'll have a shot to win at the end.
I do see ISU's o-line improved, but not enough to win the game as the D will have to be on the field too much, and McNutt gets mention as B1G Offensive Player of the Week.

ISU totally redeems themselves and puts on one of those classic Rhoads bounce-back games.(Tech/Texas) Jantz limits mistakes and his running gives the hawks fits. Clones DL does just enough to get by.
ISU 23 Iowa 20
After the big win, I jantz in my pants.
