No. 6 Iowa State:
With the loss of Tom Farniok to the NFL, the Cyclones are left with a big hole in the middle of the offensive line. Patrick Scoggins will have to do his best to pick up the slack at the center position if the Cyclone line wants to improve upon last year. The one positive ISU has going for them is that both of their tackles return from 2014, after Jake Campos got some great experience and the coaching staff found out that he can be thrown in at either left or right tackle. Brock Dagel also returns to the line and will help anchor the line with senior leadership. Jamison Lalk also returns as a redshirt senior to provide much-needed experience.
