I'm still trying to get used to saying Legends and Leaders and not feeling gay about it. Also, 7-5 is the absolute floor this year. No way we fall to 6-6. Don't know where the wins come, I'm sure we will upset someone and we will lose to someone who ends at 3-9. That's the Iowa way!
Yeah, 52 is a bit ridiculous...I don't see it being a point over 47.
All kidding aside, I think we keep it close, probably don't get the win though. And to whoever said we would keep Bama close...surely you can't be serious.
Also let's look at who we've played to get these stats. Next to a Penn State team who is mediocre at best, who's the best team we've played?? Pitt? ISU? Both are 4-4.
I don't care what anyone says. This year, ISU is better than us. I'm not saying they're good, because they are not. We are just bad. There are years when ISU upsets us, this was not one of those years.
Because, (this year specifically) we are one of those bad teams. Let's look at who we've beat...terrible teams. Let's look at who we've lost to, ISU (mediocre, PSU (mediocre), MU (bad). That puts us at the level of bad.
By rule the kicker (or a holder if it's too windy) cannot be called offsides. When it was called on ISU against Baylor it was not called on the kicker. It was called on a number 7, when no one was within 2 yards of the line.
