The one game we beat the spread is a nearly identical situation to this Kansas game though.
I think a lot of people want to think that a perennial 0-9 or 1-8 Big 12 team is way better than a bad MWC team. It really isn't. I know because when ISU was that bad we weren't better than most group of 5 teams and were worse than good FCS teams.
I would say Campbell would never run up the score, that's what I said for UNLV and I was right and very wrong.
He didn't run up the score, we just beat them down, so maybe will will cover.

I didn't think we'd cover at UNLV. I'm taking the cover now, but also the under at 57.5. They'll be fired up for a statement game. Breece is hitting his stride, and Oline should be better against KU than Baylor.
I get the feeling it will not have very good attendance and that's not factoring in the loss last week.
Agree with others. We have no idea how good or bad this ISU team is. If they keep making stupid mistakes they could lose to every team left on the schedule.
Line doesn't make sense to me, which usually means I'm wrong, so I'll say we cover.
ISU will win by 28-35. That’s why Vegas is so good at what they do. Good luck trying to determine where in that range the final outcome falls
Well we certainly aren't 'better' than last year. In fact at this point we are worse than last year. We will beat Kansas, but doubful by 33+.
UNLV had their starting quarterback back against Fresno State - and I think - Fresno State was feeling themselves after beating UCLA.
Its also a league game so its a team that on paper UNLV matches up with better and I believe UNLV has had some of the better recruiting classes in MWC recently.
Kansas played with Coastal Carolina - not a Power 5 but a ranked opponent for a while before that crazy offense - which I love from afar but would hate to defend - took over.

Not covering would not shock me. I expect us to work on things, a lot of passing to find another receiving option, could we cover? With ease, but as usual, coaching staff is going to play the long game to get better for later in the year.
I watched most of the 2nd half of the Fresno/UNLV game and UNLV matched up a lot more favorably with them. Fresno was small in the trenches and at almost every position on D. UNLV gashed them even after their starting QB went out in the 3rd quarter and they put the kid in that started vs. ISU. UNLV's RB was going h.a.m. ripping off consistent large chunk yardage runs.
That said, in regards to this game, I think it's a git right game. Iowa State to cover, might even see a 50-burger
