I’m not going to sugarcoat it: It’s been a rough stretch the past couple weeks trying to pick Iowa State’s player to watch. Kamari Cotton-Moya, Deshaunte Jones, and Dondre Daley didn’t exactly ball out on the weeks they were picked.
So this week, I’m going back to one of the usual suspects. And it’s easier to predict the performances of offensive guys. Realistically, that leaves me with Joel Lanning, Allen Lazard, and Mike Warren as the usual suspects. Kansas State has a stout run defense (third in the nation in yards allowed), so that kind of rules out Warren.
