Week 5: Kansas State - Monday Afternoon Links
Now that it's Monday, it's time to turn our attention to our midseason Bowl game with K-State. Below are a few quick links regarding ISU:
- Alexander Robinson was named a Big 12 Co-Offensive Player Of The Week.
- The Depth Chart was released. Alexander Robinson is listed as the #1, so I am assuming his injury was not serious. Rashawn Parker, however, is absent from the Depth Chart so it looks to be a significant injury. We can probably expect to see both Patrick Neal and Roosevelt Maggitt play.
- The Kansas game next week will be at 11:30 CDT on Versus.
- ISU has opened up as 1.5 point favorites and the line has moved to 2.5-3 points depending on where you look.
Regarding Parker, it stinks that a four year starter gets injured like this during his Senior season. My hope is that he can come back, and play his Senior year.
Also, with being favored, I'm a little weary. Is ISU getting the typical 3.5 point bump for being the "home" team? I would have this as a pick 'em, and I hope this game does not come up in my pick 'em pool.
More on the game throughout the week, including thoughts later today on Paul Rhoads' media conference from this afternoon.

Turnovers
If we can play without turnovers again, we should be able to cover the 3.5 points.

Defensive end Rashawn Parker most likely is out for the season after suffering a knee injury during the first quarter Saturday. It’s probably a torn ACL, but coach Paul Rhoads will know for sure Tuesday.
He will be replaced by sophomore Patrick Neal.
"Stats from the spring," he said when handed the numbers. "I can take those down to the spare bathroom in the house. We can put them to use down there."

Good find
I was unable to update last night, but tonight I will try to update and provide additional thoughts.

Good luck Saturday
As a Hawkeye fan I would love it if you only lost 1 game a year…
Really impressed with your start this year in non conference play. Keep up the good work, I think you now have a coach that actually wants to be there and make a difference.
