Most likely FCS over FBS upsets - Week 1

[Cyintex]

Article mentions UNI over ISU as a possible upset - Even though I think we win, I understand why they'd pick us to lose. One guy even calls our defense "putrid". Have to say I've never heard our defense described that way.

Another person in the article is calling for the Hawkeyes to lose to Illinois State.... which would be ok with me.

Double ISU win on Saturday???? Yes, Please!

I have not paid much attention to game breakdown, but is the article correct that UNI is only returning 7 starters?

If true, the thought that we might even lose this game (again) is so depressing.

Been hoping Iowa could lose to both ISUs two weeks in a row. Then have Mac take them down.:spinny:

UNI returns 14 starters.

Given how down the Iowa fanbase is now right now (check out how many seats they still have for sale for Illinois ST...) and how unexcited they are, Id say Iowa has a decent shot at losing. I still think they win with a last second field goal miss from Illinois St. But fingers crossed

Putrid!! I think that is a little over the top, 15 yds and disqualify that predictor! Go Cyclones!

What's he talking about? Our defense led the entire nation in yards per game last year!!

That's an upset?

Obviously there is a decent chance we lose to UNI, but I think it will be a close win for us, I think Illinois State will beat Iowa. We shouldn't see them lay down for Iowa like UNI does.

We had the worst defense in the country last season. I think "putrid" is a fair assessment.

That's being kind from last year.

The like button doesn't do this statement justice.

Very good point. Illinois State has a secret weapon; a coach who isn't Mark Farley...

I'd even say it's sugar coating how bad it was.

Yeah, even if you look at scoring defense (which is what I think is more important), we were 115 and the 5th worst p5 team. Putrid's fine

Major downside of this scenario is Iowa would get rid of KF.

 

[ISUAlum2002]

There were many posters calling the defense last year "putrid" during the season. Don't recall if I used that specific word, but it definitely fits.

 

[TensasCy]

Putrid just sounds too negative. Moldered might be better.

Iowa isn't ever going to get rid of KF
