Insight Bowl

Dec. 31, 2007

Prediction: Iowa vs. Kansas State

Big 10 no. 6 vs. Big 12 no. 6

Analysis:

Losing Drew Tate might not be quite as much as a blow as some people may think. Tate underperformed as a senior, and Iowa was just average. The good news for Hawkeye fans is that Iowa misses both Ohio State and Michigan on the conference schedule! With that kind of luck Kirk Ferentz will guide the Hawkeyes to a better record in 2007.

Ron Prince did an outstanding job at Kansas State last season guiding his team to the Texas Bowl despite low expectations. This year should be even better for the Wildcats who will be led by safety Marcus Watts on defense. Expect improved numbers from wide receiver Jordy Nelson this year as well as he learns from offensive coordinator James Franklin who was a former wide receivers coach in the NFL.
