Well, my prediction was half-right. UNI earned their 24 points and ISU just left to many missed opportunities on the field.
You won't hear any positives written about the game anywhere in the media, but there were some bright spots...1. ISU had more total yards of offense and averaged more yards per play than UNI. 2. Only one penalty...for only 5 yards. very impressive. 3. We still have Todd Blythe. It is inevitable he becomes the go-to guy again. I only remember 3 passes thrown his way yesterday. When the wide receivers get in sync with the quarterback, watch for lots of yards. 4. ISU got to or close to the red zone 3 times and failed to score. When those turnovers and botched plays stop happening and points go on the board, some swagger will come back to the offense. 5. Short fields gave UNI a big edge. Two turnovers in Iowa State territory gave UNI 10 easy points. 6. ISU D-Line continually got a good push on a O-line averaging about 315 pounds. the result was 3 sacks and lots of hits behind the line of scrimmage.
The best thing about the game though...the weather was beautiful!
And like some fans were saying as we left....we can still go 10-2. :-)

GEEEEEK! To bad the final score is all that matters. Did you know that the Hawkeyes won?
Where's your loyalty??? I thought all the starters from Iowa were on suspension until their court dates.
Loyalty???? I was only a cyclone for 4 years and have married into appreciating the cyclones. Right now I am in confusion!
