I've gotten a lot of flak for picking ISU, so here it goes:
-Whiteout game for ISU
-ISU rushing defense is legit
-I think Utah will struggle in the rain against the ISU defense
ISU lost on the road to Iowa but they gave up 93 rushing yards on 29 carries (3.2 ypc) with the longest rush being 9 yards. This is an Iowa team that rushed for 289 yards on 38 carries (7.6 ypc) against NIU and 422 yards on 41 carries (10.3 ypc) against NIU.
The only team to hold Iowa under 100 yards rushing last year? Indiana.
I think the ISU rushing defense is very legit, and I think Utah will struggle in a rainy game against them. I think ISU offense does just enough.
Now, I could be wrong, and that's fine, but that's what I'm going with. 🤷🏼♂️
