IMO we could line up Bo's son at QB, as long as he can hand the ball off we can just blow ISU off the line and power run them for 4 qts. I say we still win by 17.

I have utter confidence that we can beat this ISU team with Ron Kellogg, Jr and Dontraveous Robinson starting.
Seriously, people. Calm down.

I'll be shocked if Iowa State scores more than 13 points on us. There is nothing to worry about.

45-9 good guys, I don't care if I line up behind center tomorrow! This game will not be close.

irieboy8, once was enough. green will exceed your expectations, i guarantee.
I was baffled by these sentiments before the game, and they turned out to be as unfounded as I expected. These are not the mid-90s Huskers despite one great rushing performance against MU, and these certainly aren't the mid-90s Cyclones. I watched ISU handle a pretty talented Texas team just two weeks ago, and people were pretending like we could run Power I Iso every play and win by 5 TDs. Very confusing.
Our defense looked impressive with a scheme tailor made for Missouri, but that doesn't suddenly make them as dominant as late last year. Our defensive line is still suspect at times and our DBs missed tackles and played some passes pretty poorly today.
Bottom line is we are probably 2-3 touchdowns better than ISU with Martinez and Dennard, but without either it's absolutely no surprise that ISU came within one play of beating us again.
