Mega, I am very happy to tell you what in the Sam Hell happened to Iowa St LW. First, Cyclones had two key injuries, Farniok (center) and Brundage (wide receiver), in the first quarter. Farniok was described by the announcers as the heart-and-soul of the OL, and Brundage seemed to be Cyclones' primary deep threat. Also, ISU's best corner was ejected during second series for targeting. (I thought it was blatant, but Paul Rhoads on the sidelines either didn't like the call or he was giving birth.)
Second, NDSU settled down after a shaky first quarter (Bison had about 12 new starters including new QB, almost totally new coaching staff other than the DC promoted to head coach, etc.) and did what it always does (just ask Minn and KState) to mediocre to middling FBS teams--play fundamentally superior football, don't turn the ball over, and grind them down in the second half.

Thats all the intel you need.

Purdue is a state school, located somewhere in Indiana. It has a history of producing good quarterbacks and bad football teams. The Boilers generally wear gold helmets, but sometimes don't. It is unclear as to why. We here at MaineRoad Sports Advisors(c) tend to believe that teams play better in gold helmets and have recommended to PU that they do so. We have yet to receive a response. Despite the fact that Purdue is largely an engineeering school, the women are generally fairly hot. We here at MaineRoad Sports Advisors(c) tend to believe that teams play better when their fan base is relatively hotter than expected. Purdue's band has a really big drum (we're talking REALLY big). We here at MaineRoad Sports Advisors(c) tend to believe that a team's play is generally inversely proportional to the size of its big drum (see, e.g, Colorado, Yale; and, more recently, Texas). We here at MaineRoad Sports Advisors(c) also like to cite a state that we made up - teams without directions in their names cover against teams with directions in their names 61% of the time. That makes Purdue -3 our No Direction Midwestern Team with Four Syllables in its Nickname Early Kick-Off Lock of the Week!
