Guess the Spread - KSU

Iowa State -2.5
Not as high on KSU as many of you. Have actually watched their last 6-7 games.
No offense, no qb, and an okay defense. Yesterday was the first game of the year where they started throwing forward passes - so if that development continues could have issues

Purple Kansas -3.5. ISU wins outright. We haven't put it all together for a whole game yet-not even OU
Any word on their QB situation? Aren't they down to 4th stringer?
Paging @surly....
I think we will see KSU -3.5. Our style doesn't match up with them as well as the spread teams. We try to make people run the ball and they would be happy running all day.

K-State is down to its last scholarship player at QB, freshman Syklar Thompson. He was POY in Missouri and had several P5 offers including ISU but was not offered by the home school. He's a lot like Jesse Ertz but without the experience, obviously. He was dinged the end of the oSu game but said he was okay afterward.
DJ Reid did not play at Stillwater. He's State's best special teams/defensive back. Trent Tanking has a busted hand. Dalton Schoen, our best 'hands' receiver, did not play either. Not sure what's up with him. Injuries just keep stacking up.

Iowa State is basically down to their last scholarship QB too. Lanning is a MLB. Park isn't on the team. Kempt is hurt.
Kstate is playing well now and just beat a team we lost to. I think it opens at KSU -6.5 and we cover.
For the record, Sagarin likes Iowa State by 2 and ESPN FPI gives ISU a 48% chance which is roughly in line with losing by 1. So ISU +2.5 is higher than both of those metrics would suggest.
If Bill Snyder is alive...and since he's evidently f'n immortal I'll bet he will be...this game frightens me.
Snyder is IMHO one of the top 5 CFB coaches in CFB history. I'm not even sure it's debatable.

So it sounds like both teams are pretty banged up. This is going to be a battle of who has the better depth. And for the first time in a long time, I'm actually not overly concerned about this.
That was in October, it is a different team in Nov, much better. Almost spanked OSU.
