Year 3 begins and the process continues...This is not the ISU of old(thankfully) but that little spot in my brain will make me sweat bullets until the clock reaches zero this Saturday and ISU has won.
SDSU lost stud WR, stud TE, and multi year RB along with all conf Fullback and their best OLman. They return a very solid QB. I think Heacock runs the 4-3 all night and dares SDSU to throw over the top sitting our corners in man coverage most of the night. Taryn(QB) i can see getting yards scrambling a lot and designed QB draws in this game. I..along wiht prob every ISU fan...is very pumped to see this Dline in 2018, they are going to be darn good this year IMO. If we shut down their run game early i think we walk away in this game. I can see SDSU trying to get creative running the ball along with a short passing game early.
On the other side of the ball...traditionally SDSU lately hasnt had a very good D really. They ranked like 50th in FCS last year. They do return a lot in the back 7 but i believe has some ?’s on their D line as well. I’m pretty sure we will see SDSU putting 6-7 in box early to shut down our run game as well...however ISU simply has too many weapons at WR and TE and I hope to see us mix it up early in pass/run game..I still want to see this OL exert its will in this game and if it doesnt that will worry me..
I know one thing...it is never really a good thing if your team is breaking in several new lineman on both sides to start the season. I see this game actually going pretty fast clock wise as both teams will run the ball a fair amount..I could see this game being one where we look up at the clock and its like 10-0 or something ISU and there is like 5 min left in the half.
Not really here to predict a score just curious as to what others think.
