robsker Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hm, I'm going to go on a limb and have faith in our D to turn it around, and this is the perfect opponent and week to make a statement and ride onn that confidence into Missouri and the rest of the Big 12. ISU won't score more than 14. I am with you, almost. ISU will not score the 38 -45 points so many have been predicting. They will score probably more than 14 though. How about NU 38 ISU 21. No way NU loses this one. Especially if we can at all run and control the clock some ISU will not light up the endzone. If they do.......... Quote Link to comment
KansasHUSKER4 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 the spreads that big? wow, i figured itd be like 12.5 or so Quote Link to comment
no_name_needed_2001 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 ISU doesn't have that great of an offense Nate Davis = NFL calibur Quote Link to comment
KansasHUSKER4 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 but i guess they still have faith in us, or expecting out D to turn it around Quote Link to comment
nublackshirt00 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Here's the real point spread.... Husker Offense (-7) vs. Blackshirts Quote Link to comment
husker4ever07 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Im gonna be a little optimistic at this point and and say ISU only scores 17 hopefully our D turns it around and plays decently(17 to ISU is not very good just decent) Quote Link to comment
Necava Husker Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 The thing is, point spreads are not necessarily set at the expected outcome—although they often mirror it. I think the spread is set to attract half the money on one side of the bet and half on the other. If too many people start betting one team, the spread moves to attract bets the other way. Or I could be wrong. Maybe Iowa State is expected to be really, really crappy this year. Quote Link to comment

Kickoff return for a TD. Blocked Punt in the endzone and then had a FG blocked in the waning minutes. Still the game scares me, the way our defense has played we could lose to a high school team.

Foppa Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 ISU doesn't have that great of an offense Nate Davis = NFL calibur Great...now that he torched NU's defense, he's NFL caliber...that's why he was 19-36 for 198 in a loss vs. powerhouse Miami (OH). Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Although there are potentially quite a few wins possible this year...No game...and I mean NO game should be considered a 'gimmie' on NU's schedule, esp. away games. Quote Link to comment

It's become a sad state of affairs that we have to worry about controlling the clock agianst a team like ISU. Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I think the defense will turn things around a bit and put up a decent showing. Granted, it's just ISU, but I think our defense will look better this week. And yeah, there's no evidence to back that up. I just feel like they will. Quote Link to comment
