Give me a dynamic attack with a remarkable QB/RB rushing duo over a punchless offense any day. Kansas State wields the Big 12’s No. 1 (RB Deuce Vaughn) and No. 4 (QB Adrian Martinez) rushers. The latter sports a remarkable nine TDs by foot. Martinez throws little, but this stat — zero interceptions — nonetheless shines. The Wildcats have put their how-did-that-happen? loss to Tulane behind them, by wiping out Oklahoma and Texas Tech. The Cyclones, with the league’s lowest-ranked offense, has squeezed out 10, 24 and 11 points in their three Power 5 matchups.

Kansas State QB Adrian Martinez looks like a completely different player than he did at Nebraska. He's a big reason why the Wildcats look like a potential contender in the Big 12. Iowa State is coming off of a crushing loss to Kansas last weekend, one that saw them miss a field goal at the end to tie the game. Unfortunately we see situations where teams who lose in that way the week prior, will sort of let that loss linger into the following week. Look for the Wildcats to take full advantage of that against the Cyclones.

The world is focused on Kansas, but rival Kansas State is about to make a big statement. Quarterback Adrian Martinez has completed over 60% of his passes in each of his last three games, and has 319 rushing yards over the last two contests. Iowa State boasts the best run defense in the conference, but it won't be enough now that Martinez is finally playing like the dual-threat star he was touted to be coming out of high school.
