Vote for the Iowa State Cyclones Player of the Game vs Missouri
Iowa State may have played its best game of the year in the loss to #13 Missouri. A Cyclone team that has struggled to make big plays all year, finally made a couple against the Tigers.
Devin McDowell had the first big play on a 25 yard interception return for a TD. It was the first defensive touchdown for ISU this season.
Alexander Robinson broke two runs of more than 30 yards. The biggest play was a 37 yard touchdown run on 4th and 1.
Marquis Hamilton made a great play on a fade route in the end zone for his first touchdown as a Cyclone.
Bret Meyer had his best game of the year throwing for one touchdown and rushing for another. Meyer completed nearly 70% of his passes against a tough Tiger defense.

Cyclone Player of the Week - Week 8: WR Marquis Hamilton
The top vote getter in the Cyclone Player of the Week voting for week 8 with 48% of the vote is WR Marquis Hamilton . The sophomore wide receiver from Oklahoma had seven catches for 88 yards and rushed 4 times for 8 yards. Hamilton nearly had a big special teams play as well, as he just missed blocking a first quarter punt.
I can’t say I agree with the voting this week. I really felt like the award should have went to a defensive player. It is not everyday you see a Cyclone team shut out Oklahoma for more than a half. However it is up to the fans to decide and we don’t use Diebold machines to tally the votes so we are unable to rig the results.
Note: A defensive player hasn’t won the Cyclone Player of the Week all year.

- WR Marquis Hamilton 48%

Iowa State Cyclones - Oklahoma Sooners Prediction
The Cyclones haven’t played well for all 60 minutes in any game in 2007 and I don’t expect that to change this week. Iowa State was clearly overmatched by Texas last weekend and Oklahoma has more talent than the Longhorns. ISU will need a near perfect performance to stay in this game. I really hope I am wrong, but it could get ugly.
Game Prediction: Oklahoma 63 Iowa State 10
Despite the bleak outlook on the game, I am really looking forward to getting to Ames. Why?Tailgating, great weather, college football and the hope for a huge upset.
The Iowa State football team is struggling, but I have faith things are going to turn around sooner rather than later. Why? Recruiting
