The Oklahoma State Cowboys are 5-1 against the Iowa State Cyclones since November of 2015, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Saturday. Oklahoma State and Iowa State will face off in a Big 12 battle at 3:30 p.m. ET at Jack Trice Stadium. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous games.
The Texas Longhorns typically have all the answers at home, but last week the Cowboys proved too difficult a challenge. Oklahoma State came out on top against Texas by a score of 32-24. Oklahoma State's RB Jaylen Warren did his thing and picked up 193 yards on the ground on 33 carries.
Meanwhile, the Cyclones were able to grind out a solid win over the Kansas State Wildcats last week, winning 33-20. RB Breece Hall had a stellar game for Iowa State as he rushed for two TDs and 197 yards on 30 carries. Hall put himself on the highlight reel with a 75-yard TD scramble in the first quarter.
Special teams collected 15 points for Iowa State. K Andrew Mevis delivered a perfect 4-for-4 game.
Oklahoma State is expected to lose this next one by 7. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a four-game streak of ATS wins.
The wins brought Oklahoma State up to 6-0 and Iowa State to 4-2. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Cowboys are stumbling into the matchup with the 194th most thrown interceptions in the nation, having thrown six on the season. The Cyclones have had an even harder time: they are 137th worst in the nation in thrown interceptions, having thrown four on the season. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
