ISU vs Oklahoma State Predictions

[Malty Flannel]

My score prediction is based off sanders either being out or being far from 100%.

If manning doesn’t revert back to dumbass mode, Dekkers doesn’t revert back to statue, and the special teams don’t implode, then clones should win by 2 scores.

 

[Remo Gaggi]

Sanders will have a career day and then will be returned to the hospital where he will emplore his teammates to win one for the gipper before passing away.

Folks are underestimating OSU's backup QB. He's a true freshman (4-star recruit) who had his first start against KU last week. After throwing a couple of early picks, he settled down and threw for over 300 yards.

After listening to Gundy's weekly presser, I get the feeling his team has not packed it in for the season. OSU has not lost at home in a long time, and they're excited to return home for the first time in 3 weeks.

For me, the real question is how effective can we score against OSU's defense?

Wish I could be more confident, but I've got a feeling it will be another one possession loss for us. Hope I'm wrong!

I voted with my head not my heart. OSU by 1-7.

I think you voted with your butthole.

Its not as exciting as it sounds but if you want some insight on my butthole you can hit my DMs.

like someone else said - im going to think with my head and not my heart.

and not that head either.

OSU 21-17

 

[JM4CY]

IF Norton can run and we don’t do a bunch of dumb ****, we win. If not, we lose.

 

[Clone95]

Just happy OSU doesn't have a bye week to help get crap figured out, but still think they'll look better than the last 2 weeks. However, our D is playing better every week, so I'm not worried about them scoring a ton on us, even if they do figure stuff out on that side of the ball. I think we'll be able to score on them. I know OU had a statistically bad D when they came in but they have more talent and 2 weeks to get right.

 

[ISU_Guy]

This is a must win because we are not beating TCU on the road.
I fully expect the backup QB to go off on us.

 

[khardbored]

Sanders will play, ISU has not caught a break all year with the team we are playing missing their better players. They will get their injured players back, or at least enough of them to get this win at home.
ISU will come out and try to run right at the OSU defense, more 3 yard crossing patterns and the rest of it, and lose the game by 4.

Except WVU.

I wouldn't underestimate Heacock's defense against a true freshman making his second career start, regardless of how talented the kid is

ISU -1

ISU -1

This seems just insane to me.

I would bet Gundy has some stuff to throw out that there is zero film on. What will be key is to limit early scoring and deficit not to get crazy. We all know Heacock is nails in the second half.

Like the kid from Tech last year?

I hear what you are saying, but having film on a guy is a big deal.

Maybe the only time Heacock really disappointed me was when he did the typical play base, not many blitz strategy against TTech when they were starting a freshman for the first time.

You do NOT let young players get into a rhythm at QB. You bring the good stuff early, and either force short drives or turnovers. Get up on them, and put all the pressure on them to pass to beat you. That's elementary logic.
