As recently as 3 hours ago I would have defended ISU in the Big XII title game. But I may have overestimated how much better ISU's OL could get in a year without major personnel changes. They look really bad. 

NIU is just running a pretty straightforward 30 Front and ISU can't get any of NIU's DL moved in the first half w/ some Gap concepts. They had to run some outside zone on their scoring drive to generate any consistent. If you're ISU and you can't move NIU around, how are they going to score 30 points literally any team with a good DL?

Their defense is extremely legit and could get them 9 wins, but something is going to have to change for them to breakthrough into the title game IMO.

First play of this drive ISU's center can't move NIU's NT, they have to double the guy at the 4i to get him moved. 

ISU is gonna win this game unless they have some really bad fumble luck, but they are gonna have to get much better to win against Iowa or Baylor.

I didn't watch many ISU games last year, but did Montgomery mask a lot of the OL's deficiencies?
