"I think the offense will be able to offset the defense imo."
since when does an average offense offset a horrible defense? last year, with the good defense they had ISU averaged 28 points per game. If you were curious, that 28 points per game had them tied for 50th in the nation in scoring per game. Now, they won't have a defense that gets the offense the ball back. They might score some points but their offesne will be on the bench most of the game watching the defense gets wqhooped up on most of the game. it's for this reason I wouldn't be shocked to see the offesne get worse. Not to mention, ISU will be easier to defend because they will find themselves in obviios passing downs more because they will be behind more.
