Iowa State coach Matt Campbell says the Cyclones hope for a better ground attack against Kansas State. After managing only 66 yards of rushing in a loss to Baylor the Cyclones had only 26 in a loss at Kansas. Two of the factors are injuries at running back and the Cyclones have spent much of the last two weeks playing from behind.

Jirehl Brock was injured early in the loss at Kansas and Cartevious Norton has also been injured.

Being behind the last two weeks forced ISU to focus more on the pass.

Specials teams continue to flounder but Campbell says it is more about inexperience than schematics.

Campbell says a key for K-State the past couple of weeks hasa been the play of quarterback Adrian Martinez.

He says Martinez is playing like a veteran.
