PREDICTIONS For ISU vs Portland

[BengalBannMan]

I thought it would be fun to start a tradition of throwing some guess out there of each games score. (Just for fun and conversation. It gets dead in here around game day)

On a previous post I threw out a very boisterous 45-17 ISU wins.

Anyone else?

Fletcher is more on point with the Vegas odds. Vegas has Idaho State as the 8 point favorite.
I'm still banking (not that I bet the game...lol) on a few more big plays to drive the score up. I like the scores you're posting. Probably more plausible then mine, but I'm just trying to will the football gods! I'm sticking with 45-17!

ISU 55 PSU 10, Kramer hasn't forgotten how the Vikings ran up the score on us a few years ago; he never will!

Hopefully a win.

Been a Bengal fan too long to say otherwise.

Kramer even mentioned the score of that game on an interview this week. You're right boisebengal. He has not forgotten!

With a fast-paced offense, keeping the pedal to the metal... and a Defense playing with the attitude of a pissed off Honey Badger.... I predict the SECOND shutout of the season.!! 49-0 ISU.!

I won't predict a score, but I think this will be a great test for Idaho State in a number of areas:
--Portland State has a very physical defense that held ISU's offense to about 130 yards under its average last year, and did a very good job against Wazzu's passing attack last week. PSU's press coverage will challenge the Bengal receivers to get open, and it will challenge Michael Sanders to read the defense and get the ball out more quickly.
--ISU's special teams played better last week, but they are still a work in progress. Close games are often determined by a special teams play or two.
--As discussed previously, the defense must find a way to get off the field vs the very physical running game of PSU's.
In summary: I think it will be a close game that will tell us a lot about the two biggest question marks surrounding this season: QB and whether, and how much the Bengal defense has improved.

We are both better than last year, so should be a great game as long as we win.

Well, PSU did beat a PAC 12 team on the road last week. Give them some respect.
