D has got to get off the field on 3rd down.

They have been pretty inconsistent on 3rd downs. Certainly had games where they were very good on 3rd. Explosive plays are more of a concern for me. Just seems like the there have been more guys getting out of position this year.

Given how we've essentially played the same as opponent (minus Louisiana Monroe), the point totals on the staff picks probably close, but I fear it'll be a 50/50 chance game....unless we play 4 consistant quarters and win TO and special teams.

Glad we, in dramatic fashion, snapped the curse last year...now to get the picked up flags bad taste out of our mouth from 2 years ago.

I fear the weather is really going to hurt our chances tonight.

35 mph sustained winds.... 50+ mph gusts. If that's the case, there will be no passing game at all.

So it would make it ISU's run game vs. KSU's run game. Not sure how I feel about that. I'd much rather have our passing game to rely on tonight for sure.

We don’t go deep all that much. A lot of short passes. I don’t see wind being a major problem.

K-State is giving up over 5 ypc, 5.2 in conference play. The worst yield in the conference.

Breece Hall.

Take a wild guess who leads the conference in rushing defense?

Stopping the run is the key. We do that by Keeping Thompson in check on scrambles, those type of QB's typically kill our 3 man rush so we may have to bring extra bodies to keep him contained.
