I doubt Bowling Green smokes them. After that though, they play some decent teams. My guess is they finish 6-6 and get a bowl bid.
I think they will squeak out six. That means a bowl game and vacation for their fans.
That means they have to play their next ten games as hard as they did vs. Iowa.
A blue blood like ISU will probably vote to not except a bowl bid. Their slime ball coach (you know, the one who talked about loyalty) will probably leave ISU for another gig after one season. (like he did to Wash. State)I doubt Bowling Green smokes them. After that though, they play some decent teams. My guess is they finish 6-6 and get a bowl bid.
Matt the genius was 3-6 against Iowa, Almighty Penn State starts their season with Marshall, Temple, and Buffalo.Its possible they get to a bowl - but I still think they're a 3 or 4 win team. Our game plan was horrifying. Other programs that are peers are going to expose them. We never forced Iowa State to play offensive football and have Raynor throw into risky spots with the game flow and we played exactly into their hands on offense trying to run the football into stacked fronts and being very predictable. They often sent linebackers flowing to the LOS at the snap so that their momentum would have our linemen flying backwards into our play designs. Iowa needed to throw the football on first down until they stopped playing that way, could have had a lot of easy completions up the middle and to the tight ends if only our OC was smart enough to adjust. This was basically a carbon copy of the way Campbell's teams always played us.
The adult, drunk ISU fan sitting behind me WAS crying. Never shut his mouth the entire night until the last FG was made. This was the fan who shouted "Go Cyclones" during the moment of silence for the Iowa band member who had just passed away.
This might have been true 10 years ago, but I don't think the narrative holds water anymore.they always play us like it’s their Super Bowl . Happens every damn year.,
I don’t see them going better than 6-6 . So maybe they squeak out the toilet bowl ?
