How does KU win at Iowa State for 1st time since ’08? Former Kansas QB breaks it down

The Kansas Jayhawks have one of their toughest road games of the season against Iowa State on Saturday.

The Cyclones (5-3, 4-1 Big 12) haven’t lost to Kansas (6-2, 3-2) at home since 2008 and are slight favorites over the Jayhawks.

In this week’s breakdown, KU beat writer Shreyas Laddha and former Kansas quarterback Carter Stanley look at film of what Kansas needs to do to defeat Iowa State.

Namely, the Jayhawks must get off to better starts on the road and exploit some of the weaknesses of Iowa State’s offense.
