While I don't like Indiana's football coach ... the guy has obviously done a good job with their program. All the same ... I think that game is AT WORST a 50-50 game for the Hawks.
However, the next game ... is the heated rivalry game AT Jack Trice! The last time we were there ... they sliced through our D like a hot knife through butter (9.3 yards per pass play ... and 4.8 yards per rush). Fortunately, for the most part, the D only bent ... but did not break.
This year though ... ISU is bringing SO MUCH back ... hoping to make a play at a really special season for that program. Will the Hawks again play the role of the matador and thwart them ... or will the Cyclones prove too much?
If history is any indicator ... what has historically hurt the Hawks against the Cyclones is overlooking them ... however, this really should not be an issue. Right now ... I still probably view this game as a 33.3-66.7 scenario ... favoring the Cyclones. Am I wrong? If so ... why?
