I know Utah got beat by Colorado by a lot, but that game was actually much closer than it was (like ours) The previous 3 games they lost by a TOTAL of 10 points. Just saying I would stay away from that spread is all.
You thought that game was close? I thought Utahs offense looked like crap. If Colorado wouldn't have kept shooting themselves in the foot in the first half it would have been even worse.

Given how much injuries have decimated our roster this season, we should all be elated that we're sitting at 8-2 right now. ANY additional win from here on out is just gravy.

Hopefully, we go into Provo with a loose attitude and we let it rip.
I’m looking forward to ISU coming back to Provo. But if they do this Saturday, they will have to forfeit, since Utah is in Salt Lake City, about 50 miles north.

The good news is the bar scene is a lot more lively in SLC for those making the trip and who will want to either celebrate or commiserate afterwards.

My bad. I get them mixed up with BYU, which I'm sure is unforgivable in Utah.

Extremely unforgivable. It would be like confusing Iowa State and Iowa.

Speaking of which, we got to our seats at last night's BYU-Kansas game and there were two people already sitting there. One had a University of Indiana hat, the other had a University of Iowa hat. I let the Iowa guy know exactly what I thought of him.

Just kidding, it was a decent exchange. He was from Ankeny and graduated from the University of Iowa medical school. They were just in the state for a vacation and thought it would be fun to go to a random game. They left and went to their correct seats once we pointed out they were in the wrong spot.

We are favored by 5.5pts?!
That's surprising to me. I don't want to be a downer, but I didn't come away from the Cinci victory feeling like anything substantial had changed for ISU. Cinci had 13 penalties, several of them dubious, and their QB missed numerous wide-open receivers. The game was closer than the final score would indicate and did little for my confidence moving forward.

I've been a Cyclone fan since my freshman year of HS in 1978, I'm now in my 60's and I want a conference title as bad as anybody - it's there to be seized but we're simply run out of bodies. We snuck by Cinci by dropping eight and trying to keep everything in front. Our LBers are young, inexperienced and slow - I'd rather see them attacking every down than sitting back and getting washed out.

If you told me before the season we’d be 6pt favorites for this game I’d slap you. But here we are

If I am not mistaken, ISU has been favored in every conference game this year. Therefore, I am not surprised with being favored @ Utah.

I hope we stomp their arrogant asses for all the **** their fan base talked about the Big 12. Let’s take another step towards the Big 12 Championship Game and send them to the bottom of the conference at the same time.

Utah down 3 qb’s with a true freshman thrown into the fire. I like our secondary’s chances all day against that. When our defense is playing with a lead they’ve got a totally different mojo. The boys will be seeing red Saturday night.

Hopefully ISU can grow from getting a win and put together a good game.

I'd like to see if anyone else comes back from injury.

But are there Truck Stops in either place?

When have you ever seen CMC let it rip?

My guess would be the game plan is to go in and outlast and grind them down to a win.
