Hmmm... a couple of 6-6'ers. Kinda mixed up too - the Cyclones have a bit of statistical advantage in offensive yards & defensive points, while the Gophers have the edge in offensive points and defensive yards. Interesting. Schedules tell a different story though. The Cyclones lost to some bad teams, but they also had that miracle game against Nebraska. The Gophers had some solid wins, but they also lost to a bad Illinois team. No end-of-the-year streak for either one, Iowa State losing 3 of their last 4, Minnesota losing 4 of their last 6. Toss-up.

The Line: Iowa State +2.5

The Call: Minnesota by 7

The Result: Iowa State 14-13

Missed.
