OSU -17 over Iowa next weekend

[kmurp]

OSU coaches will be spending hours trying to figure out whether or not Iowa will be trying to field punts..

I hope they don't block one. OSU seems to do that frequently going well back into the Fry years.

I'm not sure what they do out there. Don't they spend a lot of time figuring out how to doctor player's GPA, will it be a rigged test score or a phony basket weaving class?

According to the folks in Vegas. That sounds about right. FWIW...Baylor has opened up as a 33 point favorite over ISU.

It's gonna be a rough football weekend for the state.

IIRC, this is very close to the line when the Hawks went to the 'Shoe in 2009 down 1 Stanzi.

There is another factor. This team plays the best on the road as any team since 2009. They are undefeated on the road at mid point in the season for the first time since 2009.

Winning on the road has a lot to do with confidence. The 2009 team had it as did the 02 and 96 teams. Now how are they supposed to go in there with confidence when their own fans won't even give them a chance? This is why they need our support. Their opponent will cheat, lie and do whatever it takes ethical or not. The least we can so is be supportive of them.

Yes, and the competition they've played on the road has been outstanding. (Not)

I'm sure it has nothing to do with top recruits simply wanting to play for OSU versus Iowa.

Thing is..... psu didi it to mich, Utah did it to stanford, missu did it to Georgia and so on. We saw how much a team can improve with msu's o. Many teams have been able to take huge steps this far into the season. Heck tx could not beat anybody, but they sure got up for ok. Here is the time to hope, pray, or whatever you do that the hawks can make a giant leap forward. We beat osu ugly and while shocked the world will say it was a fluke. We beat them in all three areas with almost pefect execution, we make a statement. Since this will pry be the highest ranked team we play this year and both had a bye before, it is kind of like a bowl game. I would rather get this one, than some chump bowl game against a middle of the pack team. Take down osu! On iowa and go hawks.
