This table shows how we match up with ISU.
We should be able to move the ball pretty easily against the 'Clones. My big worry is how we contain Myer. We have had real trouble w/mobile QBs in the past, and this will be no different.
Our biggest nightmare is a broken play set up by Myer's scrambling ability and Blythe getting free. That is going to be a HUGE concern.

I am more worried about ISU than KSU.
ISU this year is a tougher team on paper than on the feild. With who they have on offense they should be better, but they have not been a dominant offense in any game this year. Thier largest margin of victory is 4 points this season. There is something about the SU team that is just off this season, and I have this odd fealing they may wind up imploding this year like they did in '03. As for out losing streak at thier house, the last two games there, '02 and '04 were also the worst two years in the last 40+ for NU, so that might be reading too much into things.
KSU fun fact. There were 2 head coaches prior at KSU who won the first 3 games in thier first season, neither won another game. And while the KSU defense may beable to slow down our attack, the KSU offense has been dreadfull. I jsut dont think they can keep up with any amount of scoring.

Definitely true. They aren't even close to the same team. NU has to use these two road games to state that they can win consistently on the road.
Yeah, that's true. The guy I work with that is a KSU fan says he'd be surprised if they won another game this season.

Which is why going down to Manhattan to play should be a walk in the park, but it never is for some reason...this is a must win to a lousy team.

And not just consistently IMO. We need to win these games in a very commanding and dominating way.
