And those same people seem to be great at wishful thinking and, thus, are vastly overestimating Iowa, which doesn't appear to be nearly as good as some people think. I hope Iowa wins, something I used to hope for twenty years back in the glory days of Ray Nagle and Frank Lauterbur and Bob Commings. But hope almost never overcame the reality that Iowa just wasn't very good.
Based on what we know so far, this seems like a truly genius prediction. Becht is likely to throw the devil out of the ball, while Iowa will stubbornly run the ball into a stacked box and spend the day punting. The result is, most likely, to be an easy win for ISU. And truth be told, it could be much worse than 31-13 given Iowa's poor D-backs, lack of QB pressure, and no passing game. I hope the Genius and I are wrong. I hope Iowa pulls off a huge upset, but I just don't see how that would happen. But then I didn't see Iowa beating Ohio State 55-24 back in the day either . . .
They are also going into game 3. They're going to come out attacking on offense and won't let up.
I don't necessarily see an "easy" ISU win. I could see it being 21-13/17-13 ISU in the second half before pulling away late to the 31-13 win.
They looked like **** last weekend, but KSU will be solid this year.
KSU lost their starting RB in the first few plays of the game in Ireland, North Dakota has been giving teams fits for years. KSU will end up with a decent season, Johnson at QB is very good, they will be fine. What hurts them is they gave up a home game to play over in Ireland and then lost, putting them behind in the tie breaker with ISU if they both tie in the standings. They also play most of the better teams in the league only missing Arizona State road trips to KU and Utah could be dicey for them already down one game in the standings, they do not have a lot of room for another mess up.
Giving teams fits for years??? I think you are smoking dope................................

That’s odd. There are a lot of fans on this board predicting an Iowa victory.
“Not one” Iowa fan underestimating ISU? Guess you really haven’t read many posts.
Hawkedup is EyeofHawk's twin. No criticism allowed, no questioning of KFz. Just drink the koolaid.
That's my vibe. ISU strikes early and keeps on the attack. That will be Campbell's approach. Iowa is not built to come from behind.
OK, let's back off on the soft insults. Lumping you in with Eyes was unfair.
And Kirk cries like a baby when the reporter brings up breaking Woody Hayes record, back when there was only the Big 2.
