Kansas State

I give K-State the edge on the punt return game. Everything else, Iowa State has the edge, IMHO.

Agree with this, except I believe their DL will have a bigger advantage on our OL than our DL will have on their OL.

Really nervous for this one, and will be a coinflip one score game again - but excited for the opportunity to get KSU +13-14... which would be my guess for the opening line. Easy money.

I’d be shocked if it’s that high.

My guess is ISU -7.5.

I thought they opened up pretty sizeable underdogs at WVU as well as -5 or so to OSU at home (which is very comparable to ISU)... could see this be pretty shocking spread.. just my guess. Heck pretty sure i got KSU +6.5 last year which was @ KSU.

I've had it K-State +8.5/9.0 for this one after watching the oSu game.

Rumor has it there's another Covid outbreak. That could just ruin it for everyone.

My only concern in any K-State game is the officiating jinx-- How many no-calls, and how many flags get picked up?

Using multiple fronts is fine, but since most teams use a four man front, I doubt we will confuse them one bit. Its second and third levels that could make things real confusing for an opponent. Of course blitz packages also can get confusing for offenses, especially a blocking back.

Iirc last year our 3 man front was not effective. Latter in the game we started doing more 4 man front and that seemed to work better.

One would think herd immunity would have set-in by now.

If the Covid outbreak is right now, I think they could have 53 men ready to roll by the 21st.

I wish my state could do as well as our FB team does. Is Kansas sucking at this to?

Well we have only beaten OU about 5 times in hundred years so you're pretty spot on (granted ISU has done better the last few years vs OU). KSU has a running QB and ISU struggles with that. OSU allowing that much rush yardage is also concerning.

Hopefully his inability to pass well will allow us to be more aggressive with containment

But I was back last Saturday and remembered everything I once loved about Manhattan. What a great campus. What a great town. What a great part of America. I’m generalizing, of course, but anyone who doesn’t like Manhattan really isn’t my kind of people. Berry Tramel, The Oklahoman

On the road again: Manhattan, Kansas

NOV 10, 2020 - I couldn’t believe it had been 11 years since I covered a game in Manhattan, Kan., but yep, I looked it up. Hadn’t been to KSU Stadium (that’s what it was back then) since that 2000 epic, when the upstart Sooners beat the No. 2-ranked Wildcats 41-31. For no good reason, really...

Coupled to Will's inaccurate arm is his dreadful targets.

Our team doesn’t seem to have a problem with Covid so tell me why you are?

I'm not a doctor and have no clue why this has gone so badly for K-State football. That written, they've played every scheduled game. I read today that 75 members of the squad have tested positive this year. Thus, my herd immunity observation.

Here are some things I expect to see.

K-State will be more physical than us. And probably tougher.
K-State will make fewer mistakes.
K-State will win on Special Teams.

I am hoping Breece can shoulder the load and our OL can open up some running lanes for him. We are going to need to hit on a few big plays offensively and stop K-State from doing the same.

I hate K-State. Probably for all of the reasons I listed above. Otherwise I would like them.

Add Howard will some how look like the second coming of Aaron Rodgers for this game only, and this will be spot on

I don’t care if KSU shows up with 8 reserves, 6 cheerleaders, Willie Wildcat & half a coaching staff. They still will slop up a tough game for ISU.

We can expect that number to increase...
