Common Man Prediction Thread – UT vs F-1 Cyclones

[Sirhornsalot]

So we wipe the turf with OU and now here we are, returning home as the big victors. Can we maintain our intensity against a lesser opponent? Will there be a let down?

Maybe we've grown out of those habits. Maybe.

ISU began the year expecting to contend for the Big 12 and a bowl. Right now, they're worried about their offense. They're not very good.

I expect the Horns to set up a big showdown with Oklahoma State with a big win over the Cyclones.

1. The defense will score a TD in this game.

2. ISU's defense isn't bad. Sark will need to tap some wizardry.

 

Texas 34

Iowa State 3

I think you're close if we don't turn the ball over. The Cyclones will try to run the ball and the clock if they're smart. I see a small letdown after the 0u dismantling, but confidence and momentum are building. We're a different team with The Mullet at QB.

Iowa St is top 10 defense in points per game and yards per game.  Yes the stats can be skewed this early in the season due to weak OoC schedules.  Nonetheless they held Kansas to their lowest point production and well as Kansas St. Both are decent offenses.  Under Campbell, Iowa State will always be physical and tough on defense.  I don’t think we see another blowout, but a solid win is likely.

spread opened Texas minus 14 and has already jumped to minus 16.5, and its only Monday

[texbound]

I hope the OU victory is behind these guys and their attention has turned to beating a team that has won 3 straight on them.  Not to mention being embarrassed @Iowa State last year and basically being called a culture less team.

I think the revenge tour is real.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of a sluggish start due to the Red River hangover and hard-pressed to believe the windless cyclones score double digits but stranger things have happened. That said, I'm going with;

Texas 31

ISU 6

I have my annual bet with my nephew who went to ISU--6 pack of beer. I'm collecting this year.

UT - 31

ISU - 13

Iowa State has a good defense but their offense doesn't seem to be very productive.

Texas 28  -  10 ISU

Horns are hitting their stride. Sark wants to keep momentum headed into Stillwater.

27-17 longhorns. Campbells bunch cover as we have a bit of a hangover. But defense does well enough

Iowa St 17

Hall and Billingsley get involved and the offense takes another level.  Quinn has one INT that Iowa State drives for a TD.

Defense is stout but loosens up a little in the second half.  
 

One of these will happen:  special teams score or INT for TD.

34-7 Texas.

Texas players shouldn’t I mean shouldn’t overlook Iowa State because they have a three winning streak against us and with the Bo Davis rant from last year.

I don't think we take them lightly. They have what is probably the best defense in the Big 12. Points won't come easy like they did Saturday.

I think our guys discovered that they like kicking ass...

No Purdy, Hall, and either both TEs are gone. Their defense is good.

Adding Billingsley to the offense will help break their defense down to open up the running game by the 2nd to 3rd quarter.  Causing the younger players to get more playing time in the 4th quarter. 

This team has an edge to it with Quinn.  Like the defense doesn't want to disappoint the offense and the special team doesn't want the defense or offense to be mad at them for the play.

7 quarters of Quinn with 2 blowout out wins and 1 quarter totally destroying the number 1 team.

Texas -- 49 or so

Isu-- 10  maybe
