So expect this to be no walk in the park for Colorado, with many analysts expecting a victory for the Horned Frogs.
On the other hand, the Iowa State vs. Northern Iowa matchup will be marred with a bit of controversy. ISU had to contend with a gambling investigation recently, but the team could ill-afford to deal with any more off-the-field distractions. Analysts predict an Iowa State win here, but fans could expect a close game between the two teams.
