Guys, Iowa State played 1-AA Indiana State, and at the start of the 4th quarter, they only lead by EIGHT.
The final score was 32-21, but they struggled big time...tied at 8 at halftime. They got beat deep 3 or 4 times and gave up 2 passing TD's over 50 yards (56 and 80).
They play Iowa next week, and Iowa hung 56 on Ball State. It was 49-0 when Tate came out.
The two big concerns were the defensive line and RB for most people. I've been talking about people being paranoid all summer, and it looks like I may have been right -- Iowa rushed for 254 yards with 6 different backs and held Ball State to 131 yards total offense. They did that even though the 2nd and 3rd string were playing from the 2nd quarter on.
