Iowa State Football: 2019 Cyclones Season Preview and Prediction
By Athlon Sports, 4 days 9 hours ago
Prior to this winter’s early departures of David Montgomery and Hakeem Butler, Iowa State hadn’t had a player leave early for the NFL since Hall of Famer Troy Davis was drafted by the Saints in 1997.
So it’s somewhat natural to believe that the Cyclones, who are entering Year 4 of the Matt Campbell Era, might take a step back after posting back-to-back 8–5...

By Steven Lassan, 1 week 1 day ago
The Big 12 Conference has seen its share of talented quarterbacks in recent years, and the 2019 season features a couple of All-America candidates in Oklahoma's Jalen Hurts and Texas' Sam Ehlinger.

By Athlon Sports, 3 weeks 1 day ago
Oklahoma won a fourth straight Big 12 title last season but to do so it had to avenge an earlier loss to Texas. Both the Sooners and Longhorns finished the 2018 campaign ranked in the top 10 and that's where they will probably start this season. So don't be surprised if you see an encore come Dec. 7 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
These two teams split their meetings...

By Steven Lassan, 3 weeks 2 days ago
Finding or developing a quarterback is no easy task for any college football coach. This position is one of the hardest to evaluate in high school, and as evidenced by the recent wave of departures, quarterbacks often transfer early in their career in search of more playing time. While developing a quarterback through the high school ranks is the preferred option for coaches, the junior college...
Top 20 Big 12 2020 NFL Draft Prospects to Watch
By Allen Kenney, 3 weeks 4 days ago
The Big 12 has been the butt of jokes for years around the NFL draft. That might have changed in 2019.
The offense-heavy conference had 26 players selected in this year’s draft, an average of 2.6 players per team. While that trailed the SEC’s NFL factory (4.6 picks per team), it put the Big 12 in line with the Big Ten (2.9) and Pac-12 (2.8). Meanwhile, with just two draft...

By Athlon Sports, 3 weeks 5 days ago
The ink on the 2019 NFL Draft is barely dry but some of the attention has already shifted to next year's event. And while that partly may due to the anticipation of the draft taking place in Las Vegas, the players projected to headline the 2020 edition have a little something to do with this as well.
Defense may have dominated the 2019 draft, with seven of the top 10 picks coming...

By Allen Kenney, 1 month 1 week ago
After making it to the Big 12 Championship Game a year ago, the Texas Longhorns are looking to take another big step forward in 2019. Their schedule could put a few obstacles in their way.
