Predictions for ISU vs ND
- Thread starter Dannynoonan
- Start date
A lot of bitchn' and moaning about the reffing and play calling.
Purdy will have 300 passing yards. Kolar will have 2 TD's. Breece will have 130 rushing yards. McDonald will force thier QB out of the game with a hard sack! We will be up 24-23 late in the 4th and Mitchell will come in and scanter for a 25 yard TD on an option play! Leading by 8, Eisworth will seal the deal with an INT. ISU 31-23. (If it was only this easy)!!!
ND- 27
ISU- 17
ISU's offense will struggle to run the ball (especially if JGJ doesn't play), and I fear we're in for another game of stupid false start penalties, etc... and of course bad special teams as always. Hope I'm dead wrong.
On the other side of the ball, that KSU scared the crap out of me. They ran it all night long right down our throats and made us their b**ch. If KSU does that to us, I fear what a ND team might do.

We can win. We should win. We will win. Everything from this weird nut cup season will right itself. They are focused and they will get it done. I know they will. Down go the Irish and back on the map we go. Book it. I can’t wait till game time!!
What are the odds that special teams and false start penalties cost us this game somehow?
ND 34, ISU 17
Would love to be wrong, I just don’t like the matchups on both sides of the ball. Hopefully we come in with much more focus than down the stretch and take advantage of a few early opportunities.

Depends on which ISU team shows up.
The good version: ISU 35 ND 24
The bad version: ND 42 ISU 17

We're still somewhere near the top of least penalized teams. Take away 2-3 games where we were completely ignorant, and we'd be in the top 5. Very coachable, so I'll put my trust in Campbell that these will be fixed. If not, we're in for a long day....
Special teams on the other hand is another issue?? We rarely do anything other than "fair catch" a punt, and our kicker rarely puts it in the endzone for a touchback. Probably all by design, but I don't know??
I would like to see ISU come out looking like a team that has been preparing for the last 3 weeks to play ND. I would not like to see the team that takes 2 quarters and a multi-TD deficit to figure out which end is up.
If the Fawkeyes win, we don't. It's been THAT kind of year.
ND 31
ISU 20
ISU will miss at least 1 critical field goal, secondary will drop at least 1 gifted interception, and the OL will have multiple false starts.

ND cant run the ball tho.
I do agree if we struggle to run the ball it will be a long day. ND pass def is stingy.
27-21 Cornfields
