So who wins on the 12th?

[ISUKyro]

Purdy goes apeshit
ISU 49
Cajuns 7

 

[CloneGuy8]

Based off our slow starts in seasons past, I'll go:
Clones: 24
Cajuns: 17

 

[NWICY]

Clones by 14, 35-21

 

[CyclonesRock]

Our Defense is strong...ISU 45 Louisiana 10.

With fans we would have scored 70.

 

[chuckd4735]

ISU 52- Non ISU 17

 

[ISUKyro]

Or even better.
ISU 70
Cajuns 7

After the game the nation realizes that Purdy will win the Heisman.
As the year goes on he does, but since the big10 isabitch the squaks never give credit for the Heisman win.

Purdy goes over to Iowa City just to take a piss on Kinnick Stadium - ala Ozzy Alamo mode.

Cyclones live happily ever after.

Why is that, just expecting a slow start? The offense is widely considered our strongest piece, and LA's defense isn't highly regarded. Not saying they're Monroe, but we put 70+ on them a year ago.

I actually think our defense is likely higher rated than our offense going into the season.

This is understated around here

 

[knowlesjam]

It's a non-P5 opponent...ISU wins, but take the Cajun's with the points.

 

[Dopey]

Just feels weird. I guarantee i forget we have a game that day.

If they struggle to contain the run, I would love to see a steady diet of Hall. Keep the ball away from their offense, wear down their defense even more, and keep that clock running.

 

[Lineup]

40 21 CLONES

 

[CoachHines3]

I think it's exciting that we are playing a team that is competitive with ISU and could beat us if we make mistakes or fail to bring great emotion and effort. So, assuming we play well and play hard, I could see maybe a 35-20 win. The game is on my birthday, so I think I get my way.

happy bday larry

 

[JimmyChitwood]

If the Clones do not score 40+, it will be a dissapointing day. Lousiana's defense is horrid.

 

[AuH2O]

It is still 2020 right? So I'll predict ISU 24 and Rajin Cajuns 27 with a late missed FG by the Cyclones.

Luckily it's 2020 in Louisiana too. Well, around Lafayette it's more like 1920, so you could be on to something.

 

[AuH2O]

ISU will be facing a legit offense. Hopefully Heacock has another bag of tricks this year but most importantly shores up the 3rd and long defense. However, the most important changes are 1. A healthy Eisworth and 2. A healthy Bailey.

 

[MartyFine]

That team was 11-3 last year. I imagine their defense is about the same as UNI, except they have better d-backs.

Only two losses were to App. St. twice and Miss. St. by 10. Did have a common opponent last year -- ULM -- who ISU destroyed and they barely beat. But you can't take them lightly.

 

[Remo Gaggi]

This won't be close. After all, this isn't Drake.

 

[clone4good]

It’s going to be a longggggg brutal game. No fans, Louisiana has nothing to lose, they’ll be motivated to play and we won’t.... look at the drake and uni games the past two years. Louisiana is damn good. I can see it going either way. Make sure you add fireball to your beer bongs in hope to just getting this game over with faster.

Why do you think we won't be motivated to play?
