I think there are a list of things we can put here, but a big thing I think we must do against ISU is stop the run.
That could be a challenge for us. We haven't done a good job at that at all this season, giving up on average over 250 yards rushing per game (122nd in the nation). However, ISU hasn't been very good at running the ball, rushing for only a little over 115 yards per game. There OL hasn't been great this year. An interesting OL in that four of their OL are 6' 6" or taller. They have mainly used 3 RBs, with two being every down kind of guys and a 225 lbs freshman for short yard situations.
Since ISU hasn't been good running it, we can't let them be good at this for this game. It has to be a focus to make sure they do not have a successful day on the ground IMO...
