KEY CONTRIBUTORS
MONTELL COZART
JUNIOR. QUARTERBACK
Even though Cozart didn't get the start at Rutgers, he still played a decent game although he had flu-like symptoms. He went 13-of-18 for 193 yards, but had just one rushing yard and struggled to consistently move the Jayhawks down the field. Cozart will need to be an effective both through the air and on the ground to give the Jayhawks a chance to win Saturday.
KE'AUN KINNER
JUNIOR, RUNNING BACK
After a pair of phenomenal games to start the season, Kinner had his first bad game as a layhawk with 16 rushes for 25 yards. However, he did still manage to find the end zone twice and total 49 receiving yards. Kinner is still the layhawks' best play maker on offense by a wide margin. Expect him to be a big factor in the running and passing game Saturday.
TYLER PATRICK
FRESHMAN, WIDE RECEIVER
Patrick played almost exclusively special teams in the season opener and saw some action on offense in week 2. Last week he caught three passes for 70 yards, and Beaty called him their most effective guy on the edge. He has proven himself as a reliable target for Cozart in the passing game, and he should receive a lot of targets going forward.
BEN GOODMAN
BEN GOODMAN
SENIOR, DEFENSIVE END
The Jayhawks allowed a season best 27 points last week, and Goodman was one of the biggest reasons why. He recorded seven tackles and did more than his part in pressuring the quarterback. Goodman is the only member of the Jayhawk defense with multiple sacks, and he will be forced to continue to carry that load until other guys start to improve.
TYRONE MILLER
TYRONE MILLER
FRESHMAN CORNERBACK
The true freshman has made mistakes in the passing game and is far from a finished product, but he has still been the most consistent tackler in the secondary. Miller has shown a nose for the ball this season, leading the team in tackles and forced fumbles. He has shown vulnerability when defending the pass, and that will be tested on Saturday, especially if Iowa State's starting senior quarterback Sam Richardson suits up for the first time this season.
SAM RICHARDSON
SENIOR, QUARTERBACK
Last year, Richardson ranked 13th in completions per game (23.1), 25th in total offense (280.9 yards), and 52nd in passing yards (242.6). In addition, his 254 completed passes was a school record. This year Richardson continues to throw the ball well; he is averaging 249.7 yards per game on a 61.3 completion percentage.
MIKE WARREN
MIKE WARREN
FRESHMAN, RUNNING BACK
Warren got his first career start against Toledo and he made the most of it. Against Toledo, Warren rushed for 126 yards on 21 carries. It was the third time a Cyclones running back had eclipsed the 100-yard mark in the previous 15 contests.
ALLEN LAZARD
SOPHOMORE, WIDE RECEIVER
Iowa State actually returns a decent amount of depth in the receiving unit this year. The Cyclones are one of eight teams in the FBS to have three returning receivers that caught at least 40 passes last year. Sophomore Allen Lazard is the most electric of the group.
DALE PIERSON
DALE PIERSON
SENIOR, DEFENSIVE END
The senior defensive end calls himself the "sack mamba" in his Twitter handle and has backed it up in 2015. Pierson currently leads the Big 12 and is second in the nation with 1.7 sacks per game. In the season opener he got after the quarterback three times, the most by a Cyclone since 2005.
BRIAN PEAVY
BRIAN PEAVY
FRESHMAN, DEFENSIVE BACK
Although its unclear who Peavy will be locked up on this Saturday, it is clear that whoever he does will have a tough day catching the ball. Peavy is responsible for at least half of every Iowa State pass defense statistic.
