ISU...A fan's, handicapper's,(and gambler's) musings on this college football season( and other stuff)
The Cyclones will have three outstanding components on their otherwise weak team: QB Austin Arnaud, who will be a double threat in both passing and running the ball; RB Robinson, who ran for 1195 yards rushing( 5.2 y.p.c.); and an offensive line that returns 4 0f 5 starters from last year. Listen, ISU will have a pretty bad defense( they lost their #1 tackler, and all of their LBs from last year), so pick ISU this year with great caution . I do believe their offense will be pretty strong, and because of that, it'll be worth keeping an eye on how they play early in the season. This offense has the ability to get on a roll... I believe the Cyclones will be a team to consider in over/under plays. It's always a good combination to have a team with a powerful offense, and a potentially bad defense. Why? The Cyclones will score, and give up a lot of points, so, my mouth is watering over over-the-total recommendations...ISU has been a traditionally sub-par Big 12 team, but, like Florida, they are 21-12 vs. non-conference teams(ATS). Look for spots where a team that is sub-par in a strong division, but, plays a team from a weak division. Case in point: ISU vs. No.Ill on Sept. 2nd.( come to think of it, this may be the opening game of the college football season).
