Iowa at ISU

Yeah, yeah, you know the annual game is this Saturday in Ames and kicks off at 11:00 am. You probably know that after the teams' openers, this could be anyone's ballgame. While I am sure UNI is significantly better than North Dakota State, the Cyclones definitely looked better than the Hawkeyes last week. A top 25 FBS team should fare well against a FCS regardless of who it is; no matter how good UNI is in their division of football, Iowa should have destroyed them.
What does that mean for a game that often defies the teams' records on a yearly basis? Not much. Regardless, the game should be awesome. I am calling the Cyclones by three.
More important to my mission of spreading lax across the state is the game taking place Saturday evening. ISU is hosting Iowa at 5:00 pm. This fall ball game is meaningless in the bigger picture. It does, however, provide the first glimpse of the teams newest players. Will former Valley players Luc Jacobs (Iowa) and Ben Couch (ISU) suit up for Saturday's game? A fall game would be the best time to try them out...
