Kene Nwangwu- 70 ATT, 255 YDS, 3.7 YPC, 2 TD
Sheldon Croney- 65 ATT, 218 YDS, 3.4 YPC, 1 TD

Receiving (270, 3,350 YDS, 25 TD)
Deshaunte Jones- 47 REC, 470 YDS, 10.0 YPC, 4 TD
Tarique Milton- 42 REC, 505 YDS, 12.0 YPC, 4 TD
Joe Scates- 30 REC, 400 YDS, 13.3 YPC, 3 TD
Charlie Kolar- 25 REC, 392 YDS, 15.7 YPC, 5 TD
La'Michael Pettway- 25 REC, 345 YDS, 13.8 YPC, 3 TD

Kene Nwangwu- 15 REC, 138 YDS, 9.2 YPC, 1 TD
Sheldon Croney- 15 REC, 120 YDS, 8.0 YPC
Landen Akers- 15 REC, 220 YDS, 14.7 YPC, 1 TD
Breece Hall- 14 REC- 172 YDS, 12.3 YPC
Dylan Soehner- 10 REC, 80 YDS, 8 YPC
Johnnie Lang- 6 REC, 78 YDS, 13 YPC
Darren Wilson- 3 REC, 70 YDS, 23.3 YPC
Sean Shaw Jr.- 3 REC, 70 YDS, 23.3 YPC

Notes-

• Overall I think our offense takes a small step back from last year without Montgomery and Butler but the balance and depth allows them to do just enough to let one of our best ever defenses win games.
• Adding Manning back will end up being a tremendous asset for the O-Line.
• Purdy is better about picking his spots scrambling and we do not call designed runs for him as often. Because of this and improved O-Line play he is able to take all or most of our snaps this year.
• I had no idea what to do with Mitchell. I'm hopeful he ends up on the field somehow so feel free to take some rushing/receiving attempts from our lower end guys and attribute them to him.
• We will give Croney, Kene and Lang chances early in the year but it will be hard to keep Brock and Hall off the field eventually. Hall and Brock along with Scates are the breakout guys for this year.

Game Predictions (9-3 overall)
vs. UNI- Iowa State 28/UNI 10
vs. Iowa- Iowa State 17/Iowa 13
vs. LA-Monroe- Iowa State 33/ULM 10
@ Baylor- Iowa State 20/Baylor 23 (This pains me to predict but I think we will drop one out of the first four Big 12 games)
vs. TCU- Iowa State 20/TCU 14
@ WVU- Iowa State 31/WVU 24
@ TTU- Iowa State 27/TTU 17
vs. OK State- Iowa State 30/OK State 32
@ Oklahoma- Iowa State 14/Oklahoma 30
vs. Texas- Iowa State 17/Texas 14 (In one of the great Jack Trice games ever)
vs. KU- Iowa State 33/Kansas 17
@ KState- Iowa State 28/KState 17

Anyone with ESPN+ wanna share the full section on ISU?

Looking to buy 1 ticket for the UNI game Saturday, preferably in section P.

I was surprised that the NCAA granted a waiver to the one year sit out rule for conference in school transfers when they announced yesterday that Oliver Martin was eligible immediately. More power to Martin, I am sure that he will get lots of love when he goes to the Big House. But my question is on what basis was the waiver application made? And granted? Seems to me that the NCAA is opening a door that will be used in future applications as precedence. Particularly in basketball where transfers are very much the norm now.

Does anyone know if stadium seating like this has ever been an actual considered upgrade for JTS? Cost and Capacity I'm sure would be considerations but probably mainly cost. Just curious if this might ever be in our future. Sure looks Purdy!

Section B, row 2. Good view of everything except the far south end. Can't make game due to work travel.

$50 each, includes G7 parking pass as well.

I am planning on parking in VetMed or G4/G5/G8/G9 for the first time ever as it will be a shorter walk with the family to the white tents on the south side of the stadium.

Would it better to exit 30 at Duff? Do they restrict turning into VetMed if you are coming from Duff?

Any idea what time they may fill up?

Thanks!

I'm looking for a basic simple cheap laptop that I will basically use to browse social media. I also want the ability to do some minor stuff with word, powerpoint, and excel. I've looked at chromebooks and cheap laptops. I was planning on a chromebook, but I worry about its limitations. What are peoples suggestions?

Im looking to trade my C4 concrete lot pass for a G7 parking pass for the UNI game

Great parking and don't have to worry about the grass lots being closed due to weather. $1100

looking for four tickets, relatively priced, near section E

I have a parking pass for sale for Saturday, section C1-C2. 75 OBO.

Willing to take offers on entire season as well

Did he go silent when he tried to out me last night with my boss and failed?

No, it's something else...

This popular nickname for the University of Iowa sports teams is said to have come from the scout, Hawkeye, in James Fenimore Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans published in 1826.

So to be accurate, the Hoks should have some dude in a loincloth and a bow and arrow running around the stadium, scalping the opponents. Not sure how politically correct that would be today.

in the spirit of all the **** threads posted this week. i have this.

who is isu matthew mcconaughey?

"scott spieker joins iowa state faculty"?

"chris soules joins humanity faculty @ iowa state, also will be chair of the college of driving"

"governeor kim reyolds joins faculty @ iowa state, will be the dean of the college of driving"

"bill northey joins as adjuct faculty in the college of cheese in heart"

Instead of working up a preview piece, thought I would just open it up to questions for a period, if there are any. I will share my thoughts about the team and the match-up. So, let me hear from you because I have some hot air to expel.
