Ohio Predictions

[OscarBerkshire]

Well it’s the day before game day less than 24 hours to go and no thread on this game. I’m not overlooking it unlike the rest of you. A loss here would pretty much be a season-killer.

Win conditions for this game are no different than the rest of the season: defense is stifling. Rocco throws no picks. We don’t screw up on special teams. Offense is good enough.

Some “nice to sees”: OLine is assertive in the run game. one of Norton or Sama becomes the primary 2-3 down back for the rest of the season. Receivers do anything more than the bare minimum.

Some potential horrible signs:
Continued horrid rushing game. More WR drops. Rocco throws multiple picks. We allow more than 17 pts.

Verdict: winnable game that we *should* win comfortably. Doesn’t mean we will. As long as we walk outta there with a W I’m happy.

ISU 31-13. It will feel closer than it really will be in reality, but 18 points will be a good win over a solid team.

 

[stewart092284]

17-6

Iowa State. Not sure if that's a defensive TD or not but great defense, hopefully average ST play and I'm not expecting much else. Anything resembling a competent offense is icing.

 

[CloneIce]

ISU 24-10 including a defensive score.

 

[180class]

17-6 Ohio Because reverse psychology.

 

[ClonesFTW]

I'll be seriously concerned if the result is anything less than winning by a touchdown or more.

I'll go 28-10.

 

[Clonehomer]

I predict a pretty boring game with a lot of punts. I think we’ll win something like 23-10. This board will be full of posts complaining about the offense. Cause that’s what we do.

 

[acoustimac]

20-17 ISU...but feel this one could reach up and bite the Clones if the offense doesn't get on track.

 

[RonBurgundy]

Agree with others that about a two TD victory should be achievable if we don't turn the ball over.

Would be nice to see a stronger rushing attack, and no mistakes from Becht.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

It won't be pretty, but I think we win comfortably. Think UNI type of result:

Iowa State 23 (Defensive TD, FG, Offensive TD, FG, FG)
Ohio 10

 

[CycloneErik]

It's a win. I'm not ready to think that Ohio is beating us. It probably won't be a thing of beauty, but it will be, because of the win.

 

[clone4sure]

I look for two TD's each from our RB'S and TE'S. one TD from ST or defense. they will score one from offense and ST. 35-14 Iowa State wins

[Gunnerclone]

I’m going 31-13 ISU win.

 

[JM4CY]

27-13 or something like that. I don’t think they get to the endzone twice. Heacock bends but doesn’t break so two fgs seem more accurate but no idea if they have a decent kicker

 

[JM4CY]

Blow me boomer.

 

[acoustimac]

It won't be pretty, but I think we win comfortably. Think UNI type of result:

Iowa State 23 (Defensive TD, FG, Offensive TD, FG, FG)
Ohio 10

I will quit drinking when I see the defense score a field goal!

 

[madguy30]

I think a healthy TJ Tampa will be the difference in a close win.

If that win doesn't happen, oh boy.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

I will quit drinking when I see the defense score a field goal!

Me too! (Not what I meant, lol)

 

[BoomerClone]

ISU 43-10

Same score as last year. Why not, right
