Cyclones by 4.
This is my 39th start as a Cyclone fan (I was at the first game in the Jack vs Air Force) and I have no idea about this team - must see them play.

That sounds about right to me as well.
I have to be optimistic about this team until proven otherwise. I think it could be like a 10-10 tie score at halftime, and both teams will score twice in the 2nd half too, but ISU will get 2 TDs and NDSU will get a TD and a FG instead in the 2nd half.
And us Cyclone fans will leave the game just glad we got the "W", because it could come in rather ugly fashion IMO.
I don't think it'll be a blowout margin. I'm aware that NDSU is an FCS program but there has to be at least a little respect given to their success at that level. With that said, there's been a lot of turnover within the coaching staff and roster for them.
But you could say the same for ISU. Lots of turnover, new offensive scheme and new faces. I think that in the end ISU has more playmakers and that'll be the difference...maybe something like 27-17 or 27-20. I could live with that. Take the win and don't worry how it comes about.

I think ISU will force NDSU to throw the ball. I think ISU will have a pretty good showing in Mangino's first game as OC.
35-14 ISU

One of ISU's TD's will be either a punt return or kickoff return.

NDSU gets a field goal to close the first half of a neck and neck game and take a 3 point lead into the locker room. ISU comes out on fire and takes a 28-17 lead with 6 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, and never really looks back from there. ISU takes a 35-24 lead in the first minute of the 4th quarter, and from there they slow it down. ISU gets a FG on their last possession of the game to take a 38-24 lead NDSU gets a TD in the final minute against ISU's second team D. ISU wins it 38-31.
