Considering our history of blowing a season to someone, I’d say that’s about right. The Vegas guys know their stuff and are right far more times than they’re wrong. ISU still has the same talent that made them a strong favorite to meet uo in championship game and it looks like they’re starting to figure things out. Our offense will need to play much better in the first half than they did in Austin to beat them.

Traber took ISU even giving the points...Anything to drum up business I think...
We certainly can lose it, it's do or die for ISU IF they want any semblance of their ranking early to come true...However, I just don't think Gundy will let us lose up there like in 2011...His memory runs too deep for way too long and that's his ONLY loss up there ever...as a player or a coach.

Iowa St has had a few bad breaks. We've had a few lucky breaks. We could easily be going into this game with 1 loss each.
Iowa St. is a very good team. It would be natural for there to be a let down after the big win over Texas. It would be natural to start believing your own ranking.
Coaches have their work cut out for them to keep this group of 18-23 year olds focus and hungry.

AND we won by 8...is what it is...we will have to play better offense to win, but this defense WILL keep us in every single game late. Just would love to see the offense break out in this game early and often and retain that all game for once...I hope all the guys only read the Vegas line all week and forget the polls...they mean squat until we win...this game is the difference between a championship possibility of a season and just another bowl one IMHO...A very very important game.

Your Iowa/OSU comparison actually makes a really good argument… against yourself. Football is a game of matchups. If we’re similar to Iowa, then we should match up well with Iowa State. We both have a stifling defense and a mediocre offense. We both have been thorns in Campbell’s side.
Using your argument, we need to keep an eye out for a team like Purdue who was a match up issue for Iowa. But we should match up well against ISU.
