Once more unto the breach, dear friends. I’ll try to make this short and sweet.
PREGAME
Kansas leads the overall series with Iowa State 50-43-6, but the Cyclones have won the last five in a row and 9 of the last 10 matchups.
KU has not defeated a team in the AP top-25 since Georgia Tech came to Lawrence in 2010.
KU’s last victory over a ranked conference foe came against Missouri in 2008.
FIRST DOWN
The offense has to take some of the pressure off of the defense, which has played well to at the beginning of games over the past few weeks.
