Minnesota really looked awful down the stretch to be quite honest, and it is mainly due to the fact they are missing All Big Ten receiver Eric Decker and he won't play tomorrow either. Really makes Weber that much worse! While Iowa State is not exactly lighting up the score bored I give them a good chance at winning here on Saturday. Iowa State is 10-2 ATS in their last 12 vs. the Big-12 Conference. While Minnesota is 3-7 in their last 10 non-conference games, and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Bowl games as a favorite. This would not surprise me at all if they lost here. Neither team has an offense or defense worth talking about although Iowa State does have a decent running game ranked #36 in the nation while they have faced an opponent ranked #46 in run defense. They also have a win over Nebraska who looked awfully impressive last night. Minnesota has faced four top running teams comparable to Iowa State which is not getting as much credit as it deserves in my opinion. They went 1-3 against those teams that could run the ball in the Top 20. While Iowa State is not in the top 20 they are and can run the ball here tomorrow.
