Stan nailed it with his analysis IYAM... it took the "perfect storm" for the bizon to squeak out a win vs our wild, wild cats last fall. And, yes, had that game been played midway through the season or later, K-State wins by 2 TDs or more.
Iowa State will pound their crap in to open the season this year now that the entire team has graduated/expired their eligibility and the coaching staff moved on to a better program at Wyoming.
