Week Seven Review...

Well it was a very interesting week in college football. Staying focused on the state schools. UNI suffered a tough loss at home against Southern Illinois 27-20, that's all I know sorry. Iowa moved to 7-0 with a win at Wisconsin and Iowa State moved to 4-3 by beating Baylor.

Iowa, congrats you are still undefeated. Yet again you won without playing a full game the way you can, that needs to change this week in order to keep your perfect record. Iowa will travel up to Michigan State, this game will likely decide the Big Ten Champion. The first BCS rankings came out this week as well, with Iowa debuting at number six. I believe this is right where they deserve to be. They have beaten some good teams but overall remember they play in the big ten which does not help their case at all. Even if the hawks win out they will need everyone they beat including and especially Iowa State to win a lot of games to make their strength of schedule better. Even if they were to win out I still don't see them in the national championship game. More than likely they will play in the Rose Bowl or the Fiesta Bowl. Good luck this week in East Lansing.

My Cyclones showed a lot of progress this week and beat Baylor 24-10. It was not an entire pretty game but it turned out with the good guys in the lead at the end. There were a couple of downfalls. Grant is still anticipating the snap and pulling back and thus pulling the ball and missing. Austen bruised his throwing hand, he should be back for this weeks game at Nebraska though. The on going saga of A-Robs groin strain continues, a cold night and him running hard was not a good mix as he could not finish the game, He most likely will not practice most of the week but will start on Saturday. You can catch this weeks game on Fox College Sports at 11:30AM. GO STATE CYCLONES!!!

This coming up weekend is my last free weekend before thanksgiving break so I am heading home, it will be a very relaxing weekend with next to nothing to do, I am pumped! I will try and update this later in the week with something or another. Have a great week everyone!!! GO STATE!!! GOD BLESS!!!
