Klieman told Tim Brando today that he doesn't know yet but it's touch and go. Brando was on Paul Finebaum's show today and relayed that. We'll know more Thursday.
Iowa State is favored by nine over Kansas State

Yeah, but it’s gotta be a good sign that the active cases have gone down. Unless they have more players that can’t stay focused and in their bubble, the players out with contact tracing should also be down from when they were “on the brink” of not having enough players.
Then please explain what us secretly having a COVID problem and losing to ULL has to do with KState having a public COVID problem?
Why is that “needless”? KSU has a statistically poor team, and hasn’t been able to fully practice because of COVID. And the game is in Ames.
I’m pretty sure the “needless to say” would be taking ISU -11.
Agree. Reading this board you would think the 2001 Miami Hurricanes were coming to town. I get our poor history with Gramps, the picked-up flags and all that. But other than the punt return game, the Cyclones are the better team.
I expect a good game, but Iowa State wins by ten and stays on top of the Big12.
Agreed. I’m expecting a solid 14 points, but who’s counting?
Some people are just gripping their worn, battered old nut cups too much.
Does any team in the nation play down to their competition the way ISU historically has?
We had to come back to beat Baylor.
Plus it's K-State. I'll believe in a solid win over KSU (or Iowa) when I see it. Really hoping to become a believer this weekend.

I've been a fan since the Johnny Majors era. I've earned that battered old nut cup and I'll wear it proudly Saturday. I do have a couple predictions:
- outside chance this ends up on Bear's board on Gameday
- good chance that at least one of the Gameday pickers will pick K-State as their Superdog
I've given up on giving score predictions on Farmaggeddon

Love Brock Purdy, but he was essentially the sole reason we were down so much and had to make a come back. He's also the guy who led the come back though.
CBS's college show had a clean sweep for ISU last night. Remember though, oSu had to have some goofball turnovers to beat K-State and then only by two. This may be a better matchup than the spread indicates. We'll see soon enough.
Oh so now you're thinking this is going to be a close game? Just a few days ago you were saying it was going to be a blowout.
Wait a second I thought we were supposed to be ashamed to win a game against this bad of a team, or something like that...?
OK St also went in there down a few OL, with a hobbled top 5 RB, and without a top 3 WR in all of college football and won.
