VEGAS: Iowa State at 10-point dog next week at OSU

Just put a lot of cash on ISU +10.5

Now at 11. You must not have put too much cash on them.

A 10-11 point spread implies about a 20% to 25% chance to win for CFB.

Why throw deep and risk an incompletion or INT when you can have short completions that lead to 3 and outs and 35 yard punts?

That last interception TCU threw on third down actually won the game for them.

 

[Cycsk]

Not a gambler, but that seems kind of high. OSU might be the worst defense ISU has faced this year. Of course the ISU offense needs to rise to the occasion. Hopefully DM will be able to go. Other guys are okay, but none are close to him.

I want the offense that showed up for the OU game to show up again. For some reason, we just haven't used that sort of offensive game plan. Yet, we have seen it, so we know it exists.

Basically a punt that pinned our inept offense deep.

It was an unfortunate situation when DM got hurt. I know the coaches really like Croney, but besides being physical he brings very little to the table. DM got, what, 6-7 yards on first down, and then ISU gets stuffed for a 3 yard loss and yet another bad pass by Zeb. With DM still in the game, I think ISU could have put together a decent drive at the end there. The OL was actually get a little push on the last scoring drive.

I think the problem is that we have not seen a defense like OU since. They are very willing to put guys out on an island to cover guys like Butler. Everyone else has put a safety over the top to take him away. Zeb just needs to go to someone else, and throw better passes. Also need to start using the middle of the field to get LBers into coverage. Basically ISU has made it really easy for other teams to defend them. Still think that the guys to get it done are there, other than some of the OL, so it isn't hopeless.

November of 2016 is the last time Iowa State lost by more than 10. I'll take the Clones to cover.

 

[clonedlion]

I took the +10 and moneyline +320. Sports are funny. Everyone is dogging on Zeb. With this OSU D, he will put up 250 and at least 2 tds and ISU wins and everyone can complain about how he didn't throw for 5 touchdowns...

I really appreciate your commitment to this bit.
