No general public for Iowa State's game vs. KSU per Travis Hines.. F***
 
Gotta battle through adversity to win championships. Let's take on this next challenge.
 
I've thought all along it was dumb to have planned bye for the sake of bye weeks this year.

What was the logic behind it? Is it somehow forced by TV deals?

I thought it was to have "get healthy" weeks. Teams like K-State right now had a bye week last week when they would have had to cancel the game anyway.

I can see your train of thought though. As it turns out, the way you suggest is probably superior.
 
That wasn't my point. My point was that for whatever reason, Kansas State is having issues with this. They've also had issues with this throughout the year and were in a similar position in their first game. The fact of the matter is that we have no idea what is going to happen between now and December 12th. I don't care if KSU is on their 4th string QB. Play the game.

This is it.

For some reason the K-State players cant avoid this. Why are our players able to? I get that it can happen. Other teams havent had the issue multiple times. At this point Im sorry about your issues but the game gets played. Blame your kids for not taking it as serious as they should.
 
Prediction
Iowa State is a 10.5 point favorite against Kansas State. Kansas State has lost two games and the season is absolutely on the line. The team will be fired up and true freshman quarterback Will Howard has had time to reset during the bye. The Wildcats offense will play well and make this game closer than the line would indicate. Iowa State will score as well, Breece Hall will have a productive day and Brock Purdy will be good enough to pull out a tight win against the Wildcats in a game that could go either way. Iowa State 28 Kansas State 27.

Hey look I found an article too!

What’s going wrong for Kansas State? The offense had to go against two of the Big 12’s best defenses – West Virginia and Oklahoma State – and the O stalled. Third downs and moving the chains have been an issue, failing to convert 30% of its chances in three of the last four games, and that’s going to be a killer against this Cyclone team. Iowa State won’t do anything fancy. Run Hall, control the clock, rely on the D to keep the Wildcats from going off. Iowa State 30 - Kansas State 20.

Should be a good game. ISU is better at basically every position group (other than special teams), but it’s not a big enough gap to make it a double digit win as the spread indicates.

I think it’ll be a one score game.

When do find out if your coach was just blowing smoke? Is the game on?
 
I keep hearing how KState has this great rushing defense, a great defensive front.

I don’t see it. They’re 7th in the league in rushing defense. They give up 4.3 ypc, which is also 7th—but there are four teams allowing only 3.3 ypc or better—and OSU isn’t far behind that at 3.7 ypc.

ISU is tops at 3.1 ypc, by the way.

Admittedly, our guys don’t have to face Breece on game days. But then, neither have WVU or Texas, two of the other top 4.
