That depends a lot on Sam's health.

I think a healthy Sam would help win 1 or 2. Our defense is AWFUL, and what is the one thing that many Big 10 offenses do well? Running the ball. We have to be the worst tackling team in the country and we cannot defend the run if our lives depended on it. That is why I think we would lose to many of the teams you listed.

I agree on the defensive thing. A lot would depend on the progress of Seely, etc. But yeah, we are splitting hairs here. We are bad. Those aforementioned teams are bad. And Fred is awesome. Carry on.

Really? Didn't we beat Iowa in Kinnick? But yet we couldn't beat those other big ten bottom feeders? I think maybe you are delusional.
Saying we would beat all those teams just because "well we beat Iowa in September" is flat out stupid. You also clearly and difinitively said we would beat ALL of those teams. Whatever man, you probably believe KU is better than half the Big 10.

You are probably right. We might not beat anyone. Ever. Awd 1. Cyhart 0.

It was our Super Bowl. We don't have SBs versus those other B1G teams.

Didn't we play Rutgers a couple years ago in New York bowl game and didn't they kick our buts? Pretty sure that happened so I am not sure how they would be a guaranteed win for us in the Big conference.

Sorry, we couldn't beat any of those teams. Not that our players wouldn't match up well and they could theoretically compete. Unfortunately, they are led by a Coach who can't get them past FCS, barely beats MAC teams at home and can't go toe to toe with the University of Kansas. Brutal.

Let me give you a tip... toledo beat ball state worse than iowa did and iowa played them at kinnick...

Nope... big ten is terrible terrible terrible. ISU BEAT IOWA... sucks forbu hawks but your conference is a joke.

And we got drilled by Kansas who nearly lost to a 4 win Southeast Missouri State team. What is the point again of trying to use transitive property with sports?

Rabble rabble.

The ISU team of the last two weeks would struggle to win a single game in the Big Ten. That doesn't mean I'm saying the conference is strong, but rather ISU appears to have thrown in the towel.

This is beyond delusional.

Some of you need to step away from the edge. We aren't good and that is obvious. But saying we can't beat the big ten bottom feeders is a litte overboard. The big ten is a complete joke.

I didn't say we couldn't beat them, but I don't know how you can deny that we could be beat by any one of those. We just got drilled by KU. Some on here still don't seem to understand how bad that KU team was.
