Initial CyHawk Game Predictions

[CyTwins]

True, but I try to be an optimist. I figured it was possible to keep one thread clean and semi relevant to the OP.

Jackson playing isn't relevant to the outcome of the game?

 

[BLHawk]

Huh? I'm not sure what Twins has to do with the fact that Kirk played a first round draft pick on one leg in his super bowl the same week he had surgery?

KF literally just said Jackson is out at least the next 2 games but carry on with the borrowed material.

I learned years ago that if I'm jumping into an ISR thread for the first time when it's got more than like 6 pages, I should just stick to the OP rather than dive down the rabbit hole of catching up on what the thread has become by that point. Maintaining the sanity of the community is impossible. Maintaining your own sanity is paramount.

I would unfortunately pick the Hawkeyes. The clones offense mightily underwhelmed for me Saturday. That said,the better team doesnt always win this game and Saturday could have been an anomaly. 24-17 suckeyes. Go clones, prove me wrong.

 

[DodgerHawki]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Iowa's offense won't be nearly as productive on the 14th.

I would be surprised if either team goes above 27 points, so of course we will get 38-35 type game.

What does a photo of Drew Ott walking off after blowing his knee out against Illinois in 2015 have to do with this years Iowa/ISU game?

Ah, playing dumb I see.

 

[Remo Gaggi]

17-6, Hoks, pains me to say it.

I also expect to see Re-Al Mitchell playing.

I'll be drinking a lot of Budweiser and Makers Mark.

Cyclones are headed back to the Liberty Bowl.

And Kujofan will be able to enjoy another 12 months of snarky comments.

Those are my predictions.

 

[Al_4_State]

13-10 Iowa. Campbell tries to out-Ferentz Ferentz. No deep shots. No trick plays. Punting on 4th and less than 2 inside Iowa territory.

Looks a lot like last year. We'll need some significant mistakes from Iowa, because we aren't going to take chances.

 

[HOU_Blue]

You've got one data point for each team. Iowa looked meh then pretty decent. ISU looked pretty consistent throughout its performance...which was actually actually quite a bit better stats-wise than score-wise, and perhaps a bit flukey (bad review call that upheld UNI's TD).

Gun to my head at this moment based on Saturday's performances, I'd give Iowa the edge. I think ISU has the higher ceiling but Campbell needs to figure out how to get these guys playing closer to their potential earlier in the season. If he does that, ISU wins.

That's a wishy-washy answer but it's too early and we know too little about either team for anyone to answer confidently.

Not sure how you think Iowa State has a higher ceiling with an average at best OL.

 

[SECyclone]

Trust me, they will play.

When the super bowl is on the line you play

 

[CyGuy5]

Heart: 21-17 Iowa

Homer: 24-14 Cyclones

 

[Go2Guy]

I don't believe any team will score > 25pts.

Iowa: 24
ISU: 20. Because we can't match the intensity & preparation of a team who treats this game like it's a Superbowl

 

[cycloner29]

@BLHawk How is that funny? Lol. I would say it's going to be 13-10 in the late 4th quarter with Iowa State scoring late.

Look who said it was funny. BLHawk is off his meds again.

You act like Iowa's football program hasn't lied about their plans for this game in the past

 

[cycloner29]

'Clones 23-20.

 

[madguy30]

Iowa did make mistakes though. They fumbled the ball when the FB tried to foolishly tried to lateral the ball instead of just eating it. That led to a huge turn of events in the game.

What little of Iowa's game I saw, that was it.

What an odd play for a team/program that's generally really fundamentally sound. And wasn't the 'pitch' to Stanley? Not exactly Ahman Green back there.

I might honestly know more after what UNI does this weekend. I saw plenty of teams this weekend that I thought would have been way less resistant defensively.

I didn't watch the entire game. When was this? Who was it?

 

[jmb]

Poorly timed penalties. Watching them trying to get a snap off in time was almost and every other down occurrence. I'm sure some of that was on the Young QB.

Kid at qb is a true freshman, right? If so, he will be a solid qb in several years.

 

[CyTwins]

Who was it?

One of their captains. Can't remember his name
