0:00the internet, sports media, really the
0:03entire world trying to convince me that
0:05Utah will defeat Iowa State this
0:07weekend. Well, it doesn't really feel
0:09like it's going to go that way. In fact,
0:11Iowa State beating Utah feels less like
0:13an upset at this point and more like the
0:15expectation.

0:43Today we are talking about Iowa State
0:45versus Utah. The Clones first game in
0:49Big 12 play. Same for the Utes. This is
0:52a real test on both sides of the ball.
0:55And uh we're going to talk about how I
0:57really I I said it in the opener. I
1:00don't think this is necessarily an upset
1:02for Iowa State if they win this game.
1:04Now, of course, if they lose, like, you
1:05know, it's
1:07No, but if they if everything goes to
1:10plan, I feel like Iowa State should win
1:12this game. So, we're going to break down
1:14why I feel that way in segment number
1:16one. Then, in segment number two, we're
1:18going to talk about how can Iowa State
1:20max out their odds. Um, not necessarily
1:23if everything went their way. How could
1:25a few things uh go in Utah's favor even,
1:28but Iowa State's flip the script in such
1:31a way that they will still win the game?
1:34We'll talk about that to uh to lead us
1:36into our final segment, which is is this
1:40game the biggest game of all time. We're
1:43going to break down just how big this
1:45first conference game is for Iowa State,
1:47for Jimmy Rogers, for the future of the
1:49program, for all of that. Um, I can't
1:51wait to get to all of that and more, but
1:53first we have to really kind of go
1:55through the concept that this is not so
1:57much of an upset for Iowa State as it is
1:59the expectation to win. I have on the on
2:02the sidebar here upset brewing because
2:05yes, technically right now Iowa State is
2:09not favored. Um, right now I'm seeing a
2:11line at about eight and a half. Um just
2:14over then an underdog by a touchdown or
2:17just just over a touchdown underdog I
2:20guess is how you word that. Um not quite
2:22as much as the Iowa game. I'm certainly
2:24remembering that line, but still more
2:27than a touchdown. Looking at probably a
2:29twocore um line here and I just don't
2:32see that as the case. I really don't. Um
2:35it's a factor of or it's a multitude of
2:37factors here. Utah I don't think is the
2:40best team in the world. Okay. Um, Utah
2:43fans, please hold on to your hats. I'm
2:46not coming at you the way I did last
2:47year. All right. I still think you guys
2:49are solid, but I don't think you guys
2:50are top 15 in the country material, to
2:53be honest. Um, and Iowa State is better
2:56than they were given credit for. I think
2:58there is a little bit of hangover from
3:00this off season where Iowa State was so
3:05doubted. Iowa State was looked at as
3:07literally the worst team of all time,
3:09which is crazy. It is crazy when we
3:12think back to that and uh you look at
3:14other teams around the country that
3:15lost, you know, similar to to Iowa State
3:18or maybe um I I I couldn't say more. I
3:21think Iowa State lost the most. I don't
3:23know if Oklahoma State was very close. I
3:24don't know what the exact numbers were,
3:26but other teams that lost a ton of
3:28players, right? Other teams that lost
3:29their head coach, Iowa State was viewed
3:32in an entirely different league. Really,
3:35it wasn't Iowa State's a part of all
3:37these teams that lost everybody. It's
3:39like there, you know, the college
3:40football's out of control. There's all
3:42these teams that lost everybody and then
3:43look at Iowa State. I mean, this team is
3:45just, they lost their head coach, Matt
3:47Campbell, and they're not going to be
3:49able to recover. Look at the squad they
3:51put together. I don't feel like the last
3:54in the Big 12 projection, the dead last
3:57in all college football projection holds
3:59up at this point in the season. So I I
4:02think the 8 and a half line is still
4:04kind of relying on that as opposed to
4:09where Iowa State is at really. And to
4:12just kind of sum it up if there are any
4:13Utah fans watching, Iowa State is a
4:17tough tough tough defensive team. Um
4:21I've been saying this week that they've
4:22only given up 30 points. I am incorrect
4:24in that. I'm just unable to do math.
4:27They have given up 33 points. Okay. on
4:29the season. 10 to Southeast Missouri
4:31State, 16 to Iowa, and seven to Bowling
4:34Green. Jesse Bobett's goal is for this
4:37team to only average 14 points a game on
4:39the entire season, obviously meeting
4:41that so far. And I I I don't think it's
4:43impossible that they do it. This
4:45defensive line is so good, just so
4:48ridiculously talented. And you know, I
4:52think a lot of people when they look at
4:53defensive lines, whether it's in the NFL
4:55or in in college, you look at one
4:57player, um, a lot of teams will have a
5:00standout guy and some role players. And
5:02so you're saying, well, what can this
5:04one standout player do? What is And for
5:06Iowa State, you might say it's Isaac
5:07Terrell, right? So what what can Isaac
5:09Terrell do for Iowa State? Well, Isaac
5:11Terrell is great. Um, but the reason he
5:14is so awesome is because of the rest of
5:16the line. the rest of this defensive
5:19line. Jack Janikowski, Zamir Hawk, um
5:22you those are just two names like there
5:24are a Bryson Lamb, like there are is a
5:26plethora Kaden Crawford of names, Jace
5:29Gilbert of the of these guys, Max
5:32Balloon that really
5:34create this whole experience, if you
5:36will. Um all of these guys give Isaac
5:39Terrell the platform to succeed and
5:41Isaac Terrell being who he is gives all
5:44of these guys a chance to succeed. So
5:46there is there is talent, there is depth
5:50at the defensive line position. And you
5:53know, this so far this season, Iowa
5:56State has six sacks. They did all come
5:58against Southeast Missouri State. But if
6:00you watch the tape back, um it wasn't
6:03that that was the only game that this
6:04defensive line was good in. In fact, um
6:09against Iowa, I felt like it was one of
6:11the biggest reasons Iowa State was in
6:12that game. Yes, there were a few throws
6:14that were made. um on plays where Iowa
6:17State didn't get good pressure, but even
6:18on plays where Iowa State did get good
6:20pressure, you saw a few solid throws
6:22anyway. So, Iowa State um and this
6:25defensive line were able to create
6:26pressure with a four-man front or able
6:28to bring a blitz here and there in the
6:29four-man front. The stunts they run were
6:31able to get um at least pressure on the
6:33quarterback and I think that made an
6:35impact um on that Iowa game. And then
6:37against Bowling Green, I felt like it
6:39was a big deal as well. So, do not sleep
6:42on this defensive line. This team is
6:44very tough defensively. I've spent too
6:46much time talking about the defensive
6:48line, but they directly impact the
6:49linebackers. Sullivan Schlimkin, Carson
6:52Willig, Breland Goodwin, like just to
6:55name a few. This this linebacking core
6:58is incredible. It's way better than I
7:00thought it was going to be. They fly
7:02around. They defend the pass well. Um,
7:05they are disciplined. They are
7:07incredible. They really, really are. And
7:09all of that to say, you know, I'm not
7:11trying to take anything away from the
7:12linebackers here. I set points I need to
7:13make. This defense is way, way, way
7:18tougher than anybody thought it was
7:20going to be. And I think a lot of people
7:22I say that even knowing that I think a
7:24lot of people thought the defense was
7:26going to be the strong suit for Iowa
7:27State this upcoming year. Oh, so then
7:29this offense must absolutely stink if
7:31this defense is one of the best in the
7:33country. Well, I do say that jokingly,
7:35but Iowa State is like 12th best in
7:36yards allowed and like 13th best in
7:38points per game. So, they are definitely
7:39one of the best in the country. U I know
7:41it's week three or I suppose week four.
7:44We're through week three, but yeah, the
7:46offense is not on the the best um
7:49amongst the best in the country. Uh but
7:51it it gets the job done. And you know,
7:54you want to talk about how bad the pass
7:56game is. I'm going to be right here with
7:57you. I don't think Jaylen Rainer has
7:59impressed in the way that I thought he
8:01or hoped he would. Um I don't think the
8:03wide receivers have answered the call.
8:06Actually, to an extent, the wide
8:07receivers have done okay. I wonder if
8:09it's more play calling and Jaylen Rener,
8:11but nonetheless, you know, Mari Hayes
8:13has been great over B's been pretty
8:14solid. Um, but Iowa State's only
8:17completed 31 passes, right? You've only
8:19attempted 52 times. I don't feel like
8:21the pass game is there, but it also
8:23hasn't lost Iowa State any games. Jaylen
8:26Rers's one interception came against
8:28Bowling Green on a deep shot that was
8:29underthrown. Like, it was early in the
8:32game. It did not lose them that game.
8:33and Jaylen Rer has been very good at
8:35avoiding sacks at the very least. You
8:38know, he's getting out, rushing for a
8:40few yards, getting out throwing the ball
8:41away. Is Iowa State's pass game winning
8:44them games? Absolutely not. It is not a
8:47threat right now. Um, and hopefully as
8:49we get into Big 12 play, you know, I'll
8:51talk about this in the third segment,
8:52but that changes. But for right now,
8:55Iowa State's offense could be defined
8:57as, you know, it will wear down your
8:59defense because of the
9:01very obvious um favorite, you know, I
9:04guess favoritism towards the run game.
9:06Um very clear that that's where they're
9:08trying to win. I mean, you've got jumbo
9:10packages on like over half of the plays
9:12called from I from Tyler Roll from Iowa
9:14State here. Uh very clear that Aiden
9:16Flor with 38 carries to Jaylen Ray's 52
9:19attempts. You know, that's just running
9:20back one. So, um I I think this offense
9:25is serviceable and if they're able, as
9:27I've said all year long, and it was huge
9:29in the Iowa game, and I think it was
9:31actually relatively accurate. If I was
9:33if Iowa State's defense can keep them in
9:35the game, this offense will not throw it
9:37away and will keep them uh or at least
9:41it'll keep them in the game. It'll be
9:42serviceable. Like, you can win a game uh
9:44because of this defense. They don't need
9:46to have 1,400 yards by week three. you
9:50know, they've got just over what a
9:52thousand 1,50 yards. Um, and I think
9:55that's that's actually okay. They
9:58they're doing enough to win the game.
9:59And honestly, those numbers are kind of
10:00inflated by Bowling Green being the
10:02worst defense in college football. Um, I
10:06do have something else that I didn't get
10:07to bring up in this segment, so I'm
10:08going to talk about that in segment
10:09number two as well, is how can Iowa
10:10State max out their odds? We'll talk
10:12about that coming up right here after
10:13this.
10:18But first, a word for our friends over
10:19at Kshi. College football is back and so
10:22are the predictions. Who makes the
10:24playoff? Who wins their conference? Who
10:26takes home the national title? Koshi,
10:28America's number one prediction market
10:30platform, lets you trade those
10:31predictions in a live market. Will, as
10:35far as the Big 12 goes, will Colorado
10:38defeat Baylor? I mean, right now, uh,
10:41Colorado is currently trading at a 24%
10:46probability. I mean, 24% meaning that a
10:50$100
10:51trade would pay out to $412
10:55if they are victorious. Me personally, I
10:57like Iowa State as an upset this
10:58weekend, but uh, nonetheless, on Kowi,
11:01you're trading against peers in a live
11:03market, meaning there's no house. And as
11:05the probability changes, you can buy in

13:08Iowa State's going to upset Utah this
13:10weekend because
13:12a lot of different reasons. We just
13:13broke those down in segment number one.
13:14And I actually have more that I didn't
13:16get to get to yet. So, we are going to
13:18cover those really quickly and then
13:19we'll transition into how Iowa State can
13:22maximize. This isn't keys to victory.
13:24It's not necessary, but these will
13:26certainly help Iowa State quite a bit.
13:28Um, I do think that there those are very
13:30different things. So, I kind of wanted
13:32to talk about that at some point this
13:34week. Um, but before we do, I just want
13:36to remind you that subscribe button down
13:37below. Completely free and helps us
13:39prove it's a Cyclone State. We've made
13:41some good progress. We're still a ways
13:43away from uh surpassing Lockdown Iowa in
13:46uh subscribers. Completely free. Just
13:48throwing that out there. Um, all right.
13:50Let's go ahead and jump into the last
13:52reason here. Uh, you know, it's it's
13:55fall. It's officially fall. I don't know
13:56if you guys caught that yesterday. It
13:58was a I think was the first day of fall.
14:00It's been pretty chilly. Um I'm actually
14:03wearing my sweatshirt. It's the the cool
14:0595 spirit. I think it's the spirit
14:06collection is what it is. Love this
14:08sweatshirt. Right. Finally back in
14:10sweatshirt weather. Got me thinking.
14:13We've got so much rain. What's going on
14:15this weekend? I feel like we've really
14:17shifted weather-wise. I swipe over into
14:19the Ames portion of my weather app here.
14:22Um Saturday, high of 64.
14:26It's going to rain basically all day.
14:28That's what I'm seeing right now. This
14:30will play a role in this game. And I
14:32will keep it quick because I know that
14:33this isn't the most interesting point.
14:35But the concept that weather doesn't
14:39really affect the game because both
14:41teams have to play in it. I've had
14:42conversations multiple times with people
14:44this week. Got to say largely Iowa fans
14:47that are saying this, which is, you
14:48know, it is what it is. But um the
14:51concept that it doesn't affect the game
14:53because both teams have to play in it to
14:55me does not apply to every game. Some
14:57games for sure, but really only where
15:00both teams um kind of play the same
15:03style of football.
15:05Iowa State and Utah do not play the same
15:07style of football. And Iowa State um the
15:10style that they play largely um running,
15:14right? Largely physical. uh this this
15:17weather will favor Iowa State and Jimmy
15:19Rogers talked about it a little bit in
15:21his press conference kind of talking
15:22about you know end of the season when it
15:24gets colder that's really like where we
15:25really gain our advantage but for now
15:27you know there is at least something to
15:28be said about this is kind of kind of
15:31how it goes and when we get to the end
15:33of the season one of the reasons people
15:34talk about oh the cold Iowa State has an
15:37advantage it's because they've been in
15:38it you know how to practice in the cold
15:41you know how to hit in the cold you know
15:43how it feels you know what to expect you
15:44know what to wear how to prepare Um, I'm
15:46a poet and I didn't even know it. Like
15:48that's what makes the difference. It's
15:50it's the
15:52acclimatization towards the weather.
15:56This actually applies relatively well as
15:58well. Iowa State and Ames and and really
16:00across the entire state of Iowa has
16:03gotten so much rain over the last week
16:04or two. Not really sure what's going on,
16:07but it's not going to be anything new.
16:08So, um I feel like that's that's playing
16:12towards Iowa State's favor here and a
16:14reason they can absolutely upset Utah in
16:16this game. Now, uh quickly I have to get
16:18to a few things that I think Iowa State
16:20can do to maximize their odds to win
16:21this game. For one, if they're able to
16:25find a deep shot somewhere, that will
16:29that'll be huge. Um against Iowa, you
16:32were pinned up against, you know, your
16:34your own end zone almost the entire
16:35game. Getting a drive going is hugely
16:38important. Yes. But Jaylen Rener, I
16:42mean, you just got to find one throw.
16:44It's It's just one throw at a time.
16:46Piece them together. Put one in the
16:48bread basket 30 yards downfield, right?
16:51Uh I I think that's and we'll get to
16:53keys to victory on Friday more more than
16:56today. I have some really good keys that
16:58I want to get to, but it would maximize
17:00Iowa State's chances if they're able to
17:01find an explosive play. I just I don't
17:05know that Iowa State's going to score 35
17:07points in this one. So, every point
17:09matters. And if you're able to rip off a
17:11huge play that goes for a touchdown,
17:13that really helps obviously. And if it's
17:15through the air, it's even more
17:17unexpected. It's even more not a part of
17:19how I think Iowa State's going to win
17:21this game. That will play a huge role.
17:24I'm throwing this in here because I
17:25don't think this is a good thing to
17:26throw in keys to victory. We've been
17:28doing this long enough. I just I feel
17:30like this is a key to victory to every
17:32game. And so I'm going to say if Iowa
17:33State's able to find a turnover, that'll
17:35be a huge like that's the most duh thing
17:38of all time, right? Um so I'm not even
17:41going to really harp on that, but I do
17:43think, you know, giving this offense
17:44every chance that you can is going to
17:46play a big role. A lot of the things
17:48that maximize Iowa State's chances in
17:51this one are offensive because I trust
17:53this defense so much. Um I don't think
17:56that they need anything to like go their
17:58way or anything. Um, but I will say
18:00another part of this is the special
18:02teams. If you can
18:05piece something together, it doesn't
18:07need to be a touchdown, but like a a 30
18:09yard return, a 25 yard return um on a
18:13punt or potentially a kick return out to
18:15the 40, you know, that's something that
18:18it's just it's it's nice to have and it
18:21really, you know, creates that short
18:22field where with Kyle Karate as a
18:24weapon, you can find some points almost
18:26no matter what. Uh, that's another way
18:29that Iowa State can maximize their
18:30points in this one to maximize their
18:32ability to win because I have all sorts
18:36of, you know, things that Iowa State
18:37needs to do. Um, but these are these are
18:40things that if they do them things,
18:42it'll help. It'll maximize their odds.
18:44They don't need to get a deep shot
18:46downfield to win this game. They don't
18:47need to return a punt 40 yards. They
18:49don't necessarily even need a turnover.
18:52But doing those things, you know, Iowa
18:54State is nearly a nine-point underdog.
18:57like they're not favored. They
18:59shouldn't, you know, dominate in this
19:01game, but it's very possible that they
19:03can win. And if they do these things, I
19:05think they're allowed a little bit more
19:07leniency on the keys to victory. Of
19:10course, not a ton. Um, but to an extent
19:13to where they could still win this game.
19:15And like I said, keys to victory we'll
19:17talk about on Friday. So, make sure you

21:49Iowa State versus Utah isn't the biggest
21:51game yet of the season. I wouldn't say I
21:53I would honestly argue that Iowa State
21:55versus Iowa has been the biggest game so
21:57far just because of it being week two.
22:00It be it being, you know, in state on
22:01the road. Um there's a lot that went
22:03into that game, but this is certainly a
22:05bigger game than I think many would I
22:09don't know. Maybe I guess maybe people
22:10have the right pulse on this game. I
22:12haven't been
22:14I don't know on the internet. I've seen
22:16a little bit um in person. I haven't
22:18really heard enough about it. So, I
22:19wanted to kind of take a second to talk
22:20about how big this game really is for
22:22Iowa State because, you know, it's more
22:24than just Iowa State versus Utah. It's
22:26more than just this back and forth
22:29rivalry, whatever. Uh, I don't know if
22:31you can call it that, but it's obviously
22:34Jimmy Rogers first conference game.
22:36That's huge, right? Um, it's a chance
22:39for for Iowa State to show who they are
22:41in the conference, but more than that,
22:45it's Utah who is a a top 15 team right
22:48now. Do they deserve the top 15 rating?
22:51That will be the question um after Iowa
22:53State wins. Okay, understand that.
22:57Understand that when Iowa State wins
22:58this game, you will see everywhere. Did
23:01Utah deserve the top 15 ranking? It will
23:03it will not be was Iowa State
23:06underrated. it won't be that. So, don't
23:08be surprised when it doesn't, you know,
23:10show up that way. Utah has played,
23:14honestly, effectively nobody. Let's just
23:16call it how it is. They've played Idaho,
23:18who they beat 66-4. They've beat
23:20Arkansas, who not a really good SEC
23:23school this year. Uh, beat them 43-10,
23:26and they beat Utah State 33 to nothing.
23:28So, they did what they needed to do in
23:30those games. But when Iowa State comes
23:32in and beats them by 12, um, which would
23:36be a crazy number, but when they do,
23:38you're going to see everyone everywhere
23:39say, "Well, look at who they've played.
23:41Maybe they didn't deserve that top 15
23:42rating." At the same time, though, maybe
23:46we're not going to get that or maybe
23:47Iowa State won't get that initial
23:49recognition. You're building a resume.
23:52you're absolutely building um a season
23:55where people can look and say, "Well,
23:58look what they did against Iowa." You
23:59know, a top 20 team, a a very very close
24:03game down to the last 15 seconds. Uh
24:06didn't win it, but didn't have the ball
24:08last either. Um and then they beat a top
24:1015 Utah. Like maybe we don't sleep on
24:14Iowa State anymore. And that's the
24:15biggest thing with this game is
24:19I think Iowa State will be perceived
24:21differently if they beat Utah. And I
24:23don't think that's a week- toeek thing.
24:25I think the win over Southeast Missouri
24:28State and Bowling Green are great, but
24:30they don't do anything to change Iowa
24:32State's perceptive or perception, excuse
24:34me. I think that they're expected. Um,
24:38nobody really had Iowa State coming out
24:39of the non-conference with less than two
24:41wins realistically. uh maybe a few Iowa
24:44fans, but nobody was wowed by those two
24:47wins. The loss to Iowa was closer than
24:49most people thought, but unless you have
24:50a win in the win column, nobody really
24:53cares. A win over Utah would change what
24:56Iowa State's capable of this season,
24:59would change the perception of Jimmy
25:01Rodgers, and to be quite frank, changes
25:03how Iowa State looks for recruits out
25:07there, changes how Iowa State is
25:09perceived by coaches around the league.
25:12um changes the amount of respect that
25:14they get and and not necessarily just in
25:16this one game. And I don't want to play
25:18this too much either, play this up too
25:20much, but this game is yet another
25:24opportunity for Iowa State to seize.
25:26It's not week 10 and they're playing a
25:29tough opponent and wow. Oh, an upset.
25:31This is a game where we're still not
25:36super certain of what Iowa State is. We
25:38have a pretty good idea, but we don't
25:40have a locked down ironed out. This is
25:44who Iowa State is under Jimmy Rodgers.
25:47We're in week four. All right. Iowa
25:49State's played one legitimate team to
25:51this point. No offense to any Bowling
25:53Green fans out there or any Red Birds
25:56out there, right? This is an opportunity
25:58for Jimmy Rogers and Co. to put
26:01everything on display and for everyone
26:03to say, "Okay, Iowa State is a legit
26:07power four opponent." is a legit Big 12
26:09team. Are they going to win it this
26:11year? Probably not, right? Just look at
26:13the off seasonason they had and and all
26:15of that. Who knows? Maybe they will. But
26:18next year, Jimmy Rogers gets more of his
26:20own guys under uh under him, is able to
26:22build up more through the transfer
26:24portal. There's no reason why they can't
26:27they can't be competitive. Um and I do
26:30think that goes a long way. I really do.
26:33It's in a lot of nuance ways and ways
26:35that a lot of people would say probably
26:37don't matter. You know, how many times
26:38is not that College Game Day would ever
26:40come to Iowa State because they are all
26:42SEC schools um that they're visiting,
26:45but you know, is big new kickoff coming
26:47to Iowa State and and what's the
26:49perception of Iowa State? And it's kind
26:50of what Iowa State basketball has gone
26:52through. We talk about this all the
26:54time, but it's like, well, I want to see
26:55it materialize. You've seen it in Iowa
26:56State basketball.
26:58Iowa State's ridiculous turnaround on
27:01the hardwood. um and sustained success
27:04and TJ Ottoberger's personality and all
27:06of that has led to recruiting seeing a
27:09massive uptick. Now, the numbers
27:11obviously as soon as Summer uh commits
27:13to Iowa State, their numbers just go way
27:15down and so Iowa State's never able to
27:17claim, you know, this ridiculous class
27:20or top 50 or top 10, whatever. But um I
27:24think you can agree is when you look at
27:26what Iowa State's been able to recruit
27:28over the last year or two, it's a lot
27:29different than what they got in year one
27:31or two under uh TJ Alberger. And I think
27:34that the same thing applies to football
27:35here. And it's all it's really this
27:38argument is more about perception than
27:39anything because
27:42you know realistically you're probably I
27:45do think there is a momentum argument in
27:47this game, right? If Iowa State wins
27:48their first Big 12 game, they're going
27:50to view West Virginia differently.
27:51They're going to view BYU differently. I
27:54don't think that's wrong necessarily,
27:56but I think at the same time, you got to
27:57take every game at its at its own value,
27:59and Iowa State will be tasked with
28:01winning the rest of the games if they
28:02win this one. Like, it wasn't a fluke,
28:04but this game holds more weight than
28:06just Iowa State at home. Like, this
28:09would be a huge upset. I think Jack
28:11Trice, you know, and the white out will
28:13be on display. I really hope that it
28:15sells out. I know it's going to be
28:17nasty. Okay, just talked about the
28:18weather, but you're kind of expected to
28:20show out for for Iowa State in this one.
28:22A top 15 opponent at home. Uh need to
28:25make the environment rowdy, need to help
28:27them out. Like how is Iowa State
28:30perceived? I it will be I I want to say
28:33largely dictated by this game and the
28:34Iowa game. Like we've already gone
28:36through one of them. This is kind of the
28:37other half of it. So, without a few
28:40crazy upsets the rest of the year, this
28:42Utah game will be massive for how Iowa
28:44State's perceived this year and this off
28:46season. Um, and I think that's a big
28:48deal. So, let me know what you think in
28:50the comments down below. Is Iowa State
28:52going to win against Utah? I think so. I
28:53really do. Let me know in the comments
28:55or on Twitter at nick_marv. That being
28:58said, that's all I've got for today.
28:59Until next time, Cyclone fans. Sayanara.
