ISU -18.5.

 

If you’re bored during the morning slate. Go State!

Current scene at Tip Top Lounge. Best Bar in the Big 12, according to Bernard

That’s only because he’s never been to the Aggieville Lounge in Manhattan. 

Good luck in your game today.

I like Aggieville. Tubby’s has treated me well.

Low scoring first half. Looks like ISU's offense is having some predictable first game struggles, but the defense is overwhelming UNI. 

ISU by -18.5. Not sure they're going to score 18.5 at this rate. 

Aw dang I totally missed Al started this when I started my thread.

Anyway, switching over here because Ole Miss is not making me a happy camper and might as well catch a close game.

Eisworth probably needs to head to the concussion tent. Dude looked knocked out for a sec.

As recently as 3 hours ago I would have defended ISU in the Big XII title game. But I may have overestimated how much better ISU's OL could get in a year without major personnel changes. They look really bad. 

NIU is just running a pretty straightforward 30 Front and ISU can't get any of NIU's DL moved in the first half w/ some Gap concepts. They had to run some outside zone on their scoring drive to generate any consistent. If you're ISU and you can't move NIU around, how are they going to score 30 points literally any team with a good DL?

Their defense is extremely legit and could get them 9 wins, but something is going to have to change for them to breakthrough into the title game IMO.

This does not look good for Iowa State.

Just like thier 27-24 game vs Drake last year. Let's see what happens vs Iowa.

Ball hit the ground. Too bad, it was a really athletic play.

EDIT: I wrote that before the announcer said it, I swear.

First play of this drive ISU's center can't move NIU's NT, they have to double the guy at the 4i to get him moved. 

ISU is gonna win this game unless they have some really bad fumble luck, but they are gonna have to get much better to win against Iowa or Baylor.

His offensive line isn’t exactly giving him much time

I didn't watch many ISU games last year, but did Montgomery mask a lot of the OL's deficiencies?

ISU's RT #74 got incinerated on a speed rush outside. They look reallllly bad.

Could not have been more clear that was a forward pass. Yikes.

death, taxes, isu being the fcs' bitch. they almost lost to drake university last year. nobody loses to drake university in football

Disagree w/ this. I thought it was a genuine 50 / 50 call, and in that case I prefer going w/ the ruling on the field.
