Iowa State +3.5 vs Baylor

[Cydkar]

Is Punky Brewster now on Baylor? She always has been a problem.

She was a load until she got the breast reduction.

I’m worried about this game. Especially with Brewer and how poorly we’ve done stopping the qb scramble.

Against that defense I expect us to put up at least 40.

 

[Aclone]

My only reservations are that it's our first road game--and I think it's supposed to be in the 90's at gametime. Oh wait, when I checked just now, it says 92 degrees--with AM thunderstorms.

To balance pur first road trip, they have to adjust after playing three creampuffs. Not sure that usually goes well for them.

About what I expected. It might move down to 2.5.

I still want to see some solid production from our RBs in this one. If those guys can get a 100 yard game on the ground, Purdy does his thing, the D does their thing, and special teams doesn't go all special ed - I think we win this one.

I thought Brock looked really good when he was out there, given it was garbage time.

Only a few hours later after release and we are already favored!

Hard to know what will happen with the RBs. Lang is hurt, Kene is hurt, Croney is just not very good IMHO, so it might be up to the freshman to step up sooner than expected.

And then there’s pass protection and route running. It’s no wonder why the staff has been using all of them.

Disagree on Croney he is an utility back. He can pretty much do everything you want a back to do just not spectacular at any one thing. His style is more of a one cut and go, can catch out of the backfield but just isn't overly agile/quick. Is a plus pass blocker. Good player to have when you have a bunch of RB's that seem to get dinged alot.

I saw Croney blow two blocks that almost got Purdy killed in the ULM game, so not sure that he is any better than the freshman. Kene has looked pretty good at slowing guys down in blocking situations. Certainly not going to punish anyone like DM did. Croney has pretty consistently been at 2.2 YPC in games that he got more than a couple carries. That just isn't good enough.

Campbell said Kene is fine.

I hope so, she’d be easier to defend than Brewer.

Punky says Hi!

You might be a bit off on that.

Kinda curious. When have you seen him make a cut?

Second most top heavy QB we will face this year after Nate Stanley.

You might be correct.

Honestly more worried about the Okie State game now until we get this fixed.

 

[SCarolinaCy]

Very winnable game, but that line seems about right. Baylor is capable of making this like the UNI and Iowa games. Brewster is going to be an issue.

It’ll be big to not have turnovers and special teams blunders.

I sure wish the defense could get more 3rd down stops. Give the offense possessions, and they will score.

Particularly on third and long.
Teams will drive some on this style of defense, so a higher percentage isn’t that surprising, but we’ve got to prevent big play third downs.

Umm...no, she’s got Stanley beat. He isn’t any more than a C cup.
