***Official NDSU @ ISU Prediction thread***

ISU by at least 14. My question is this. Which would you rather have, a 14 point win against NDSU or a 1 point win against KSU next game?

KSU all day long. It's a conference game.

i do think we are putting too much worry in a team that is replacing 17 starters. I just pray we get through the game with no major injuries. It seems like we always lose at least one guy for an extended amount of time every opening game.

It is Cyclone football - there is not enough worry in the world.

35-14 Iowa State. Bison Burgers all night.

Not all night. I only ordered 16. (can't wait to see what bison tastes like. I'm guessing NOT like chicken.)

Defensive or special teams TD makes it seem less close that it really is.

we lose.

Is that what you think or are you just saying that so you can be one of the ones that can say I told you so?

TOFB4ISU. If NDSU is up by 13-0 it's game over off you, we will milk every second of playclock and our defense would get more aggressive

Isnt this what every team tries to do when they are up by that amount?

 

[SerenityNow]

Are you predicting a missed PAT for ISU to arrive at your 29 prediction? If so, brilliant! As Cyclone fans we should all realize by now that we will likely miss one PAT in almost every game.

Thats actually the first thing that came to mind as I was thinking about the score.

Of course, but Jensen had this down to an art form. No guarantee Wentz can do the same.
LB's point is moot.

38-24, good guys.

If I need to post a prediction...
Clones 23
Bison 21

 

[GTO]

My heart: 972-3
My head: 21-7 (3-1 in soccer terms)

Being the first game of the year, both teams offenses will be less than spectacular.

Please win

Not counting the 90-2 or 1000-2 posts, the average so far is:
ISU 33
NDSU 19

The "season is near" hype train is rolling, but this isn't a two touchdown game.

Im not predicting that it will be, but you cant say it wont, and its hype. NDSU has how many new starters, not to mention a new coach. If ISU offense is rolling, and the defense plays decent, this could easily be a 13+ point victory.
