00:00The Cyclones need to win out for the remainder of their two

00:03conference matchups and need some help a loss from either Colorado or

00:08BYU to clinch a potential spot in the big 12 championship game lazy guy

00:13We go to rice at Salt Lake City tonight where Utah has not been great

00:17Well not in rice Eccles, but just this season the Utes have dropped six

00:22Consecutive games they have only covered once in that six game span

00:26It was the Holy War two Saturdays ago against BYU

00:30But this spread working back to Utah seven and a half early this week now six and a half in favor of the clones

00:37How do you break down the matchup again? I think the boom were consistent offense right now is Rocco Beckton, Iowa State

00:42I know they have two losses on the year, but they're still fighting for a potential big 12 championship

00:47We'll see how this plays out, but the biggest thing for me is I like the total here

00:51I do lean to Iowa State the line open up. I believe middle of the week

00:55We were seven and a half Wednesday

00:57And then they started to hit it down because rice Eccles is a very difficult place to play Isaac Wilson taking over for Brandon Rose

01:04He threw three interceptions last week, but again. I do like Iowa State the biggest thing for me guys

01:09I think I was they push his tempo and because of that I think we blow through the 41 and a half

01:15I was think 12 sacks on the year so Wilson when he does pass should have multiple

01:20You know time and seconds to throw and locate wide receivers

01:24You got to open it up. I mean for Kyle Willingham looking for ball contention that he cares about that

01:30I think we Iowa State, but the over is the best play. Yeah, here's the interesting thing so I agree

01:36But I'm I'm not going to touch it be just because

01:40This is now the third straight game where I think they've hung what looks like a very light, Utah total, but

01:45The numbers are still the numbers right like it was about this number when they played BYU

01:50Then I think we got 43 and a half last week against, Colorado

01:54If that's what they believe these huge numbers are it's it's not way off if you will total math essentially, right?

02:00I have the number looks light, but they have for a few weeks now

02:04I just I backed off

02:06Respectfully because I think the Iowa State defense could still show up in a spot like this Utah over in two consecutive games the Iowa

02:12State rushing defense atrocious allowed

02:14287 yards last week against Cincinnati despite winning by three scores. They're allowing more than a buck 84 on the ground this year
