Please remind me that you said this in a couple years. ISU has a lot of good young talent on this team right now and more guys coming. Lazard is just one of them. D'Vario Montgomery is another. Tommy Mister is another. And there is some really good young talent on the OL right now too.
Funny how Iowa wins one game in 3 years by six points against an ISU team with a QB playing on one leg and two 3rd string OL playing, and all of the sudden it's 1985 again. Good luck with that theory. Iowa is not that good either. ISU is just in a rebuilding year and we've already had a lot of injuries too.
Oh, and ISU lost 2 LBs to the NFL off of last year's team as well. Iowa will lose all 3 of their LBs after this year. Those things tend to set you back a bit.
