AMES, Iowa (AP) Hunter Dekkers made his debut as Iowa State's starting quarterback Saturday and threw for 293 yards and four touchdowns in a 42-10 rout of Southeast Missouri.

Dekkers, who completed a total of 25 passes in two seasons as the Cyclones' backup, finished 25 of 31 against the Redhawks, helping Iowa State to its most lopsided season-opening win since 2001.

Not too shabby.

 
OP, want to bet me that Iowa wins next week?

Not necessarily, being at Kinnick today, I havent seen ISU play. I think Iowa’s D is nails and will be psyched to win the in state rivalry after being talked down all week and ISU blow out win being talked up all week.

I think it will be a 1 score game either way and could see Iowa winning in a 10-6 type win.

Just thought it was interesting that ISU started a brand new QB and he throws 4 TDs in his debut and we get to watch our offense do whatever it is they are doing.

I will. Name your bet. I’ll give you a half a point better than the first line in any sports book. ISU is not good; but this offense is worse than last year. Easily betting ISU and the under next week

Full disclaimer. I went 0-5 on my bets since Thursday night, so the assumption above should bode well for Iowa
 
I just see no way we win the game next week. Our defense will be on the field all night. Going to take a few turnovers for sure.

I'm betting on Iowa victory. Name your price.

I'm with you Legs, unless we have a major wakeup call on O I don't see how we win.

They beat something between a high school team and NAIA program.

I’m in. Not gonna break the bank but I’ll bet anything up to $1k. Living in MN, better betting on here than on Bovada. We can use Venmo or Zelle and I’ll give 1/2 point off the first line.

Will be a little odd as the wife and I are actually driving down for this game next weekend. I’ll obviously still root for iowa; but will always honor my same, day drunk in team disappointed bets

Spencer Petras is trash, but Iowa State played a horrible team today. I wouldn’t think too much of it. With that said, I’m sure I would trade for Petras for Dekkers in a heartbeat.

You sure?

Geno Hess, RB, Southeast Missouri (Walter Payton Award preseason nominee) – The OVC’s preseason offensive player of the year ranks sixth in school history in rushing yards (2,421) and is in striking distance of the all-time record (Kevin Anderson, 3,392).


 
I don't think I would bet on ISU over Iowa until the streak is broken. I wouldn't try and compare opponents either but Petras couldn't make throws with the quick delivery, on target with touch Dekkers did with no defense. Deckers always had a arm but I didn't see this kind of touch and delivery. He used to look like a lb or fb but lost 25 to 30 lbs. It might have helped his mechanis/release. Iowa's defense is very good and is a big step up of course.
 
Pretty sad Black but I haven't seen a qb today that I wouldn't trade him for.
Honestly, Petras looked like an Iowa high school 2A quarterback today. He had about two or three good throws but was otherwise wildly erratic and inaccurate. There is no way a P5 quarterback should look that bad against an FCS opponent and keep his starting job.
 
You realize ISU played a poor FCS team correct?

They certainly did but SDSU did not look anywhere near as good as I thought. Their QB was terrible. They did have to go against our defense. Super proud of how our d and punt team played. An all time performance, honestly. No hyperbole.

All that said, Iowa's offense was the worst I've ever seen. We will hopefully have some more guys back (Johnson, Williams, Bostick??) but there is no magic bullet for horrible o line play, horrible OC and we all saw Petras.

Lol. There’s a reason Iowa State was 30 point favorites today.
 
Why? I think Iowa will win. If you don't bet me. Or shut up.
Hmm. I know not everyone understands how gambling works, so…… If a sportsbook will give points, why would anyone ever bet straight up with someone they don’t know online!’?! I get it if we were buddies sitting at a bar watching the game; but if I can get +150 (just a guess) for the same bet, why take a random drunk bet on the internet?

This is too funny. Look: I stated what I'd bet in my first damn post. You agreed to bet on it. YOU CHIMED IN. And then tried to alter the terms. Is that not hard to understand? How about Iowa wins for 1K. Are you in?
 
I guess I'll weigh in. I didn't actually see the ISU game today so hard for me to say a lot, and the reason I didn't see it is I don't have ESPN +, yeah yeah I know LOL. Dekkers apparently was pretty effective, and yes SEMO is a weak team, but they did have defense out there. Honestly, not being a smart azz but I am not sure Petras could have completed 25 of 31 with no defense on the field. That being said, SDSU is a quality team and your defense was STOUT. And your punter is amazing, I am not sure but if the teams had traded punters SDSU may have won. The reports i heard were that ISUs defense didn't look great. I would not bet on the Clones to win in Iowa City. With your defense all Petras has to do is be adequate, today he was not. I would guess it will be a close game but I am preparing for the Clones seizing defeat from the jaws of victory, by oh say something like your own player running into your punt returner and causing a fumble. Good luck, we will have the answer next Saturday. Oh and Herkyfan if your out there ... its because Clownfans say so, must agree! LOL

it will open as a PK em , watch, preseason was Iowa -7 last I saw, after this week i am guessing PK will be the open

Ha. Settle down there internet tough guy. I certainly agreed to bet and certainly said taking the points. I understand your original post just said betting the hawks; but I naturally assumed everyone knew betting meant actual betting. If you get some random poster on a message board to bet you straight up, more power to you
