Iowa State coach Matt Campbell believes this year’s team has what it takes for the stretch run.
After starting 6-2 a year ago the Cyclones dropped three of four games in November. ISU has won three straight and takes a 4-3 record this week to Kansas.
The Cyclones are in the thick of the Big-12 title chase as they begin the final month.
Campbell felt last year’s team ran out gas but the added depth on this year’s team should prevent that.
With Zeb Noland gone freshman Re-al Mitchell becomes the third team quarterback. Kyle Kempt could play if needed.
Kansas coach David Beaty says the Jayhawks don’t have time to celebrate their first Big-12 win in two years. Kansas edged TCU 27-26 and this week will host an Iowa State team that has won three straight.
Beaty says the Jayhawks need to find a way to contain Iowa State running back David Montgomery.
Beaty is not surprised with the success ISU freshman quarterback Brock Purdy is having.
Kick off is at 11:00 am in Lawrence.
