The Iowa State Cyclones’ football season has devolved from a promising 5-0 start, which saw the team ranked in the top 15, into a severe crisis of confidence following their fourth consecutive loss, a 24-19 defeat at home to Arizona State. This latest setback, perhaps the most jarring of the four, signals a deep-seated malfunction within the Cyclone building. The team entered the game as a favorite against an injury-riddled Sun Devils squad missing its starting quarterback, yet Iowa State failed to

This weekend's CFB Week 10 clash between the Iowa State Cyclones and the Arizona State Sun Devils is far more than a mid-season college football contest; it's a volatile Big 12 Championship rematch. Though both programs, currently sitting at 5-3, are likely outside the College Football Playoff picture and the immediate Big 12 standings race, the historical bad blood and high stakes for bowl eligibility make this a massive game. Last year’s title bout, which saw the Sun Devils claim the trophy,

The Iowa State Cyclones' 5-3 start is a testament to resilience, but it also reflects the heavy toll taken by defensive injuries this season. Under Defensive Coordinator Jon Heacock, the unit is typically the rock of Matt Campbell’s program, yet its depth has been systematically shredded by long-term losses. This attrition has been particularly acute in the defensive backfield, which recently saw cornerbacks Jeremiah Cooper and Jontez Williams, both key playmakers, ruled out for the year with severe

Iowa State football is currently gripped by a painful defensive paradox: a unit that appears incapable of stopping opponents, regardless of its strategy. The core of this dilemma lies in the high rate of points and yardage conceded, particularly in recent games where the secondary has been hampered by injuries. Whether defensive coordinator Jon Heacock chooses to rely on his complex, coverage-first 3-3-5 scheme, or opts to dial up more aggressive blitz packages to generate pressure, opposing

2025/10/27

The unexpected firing of a high-profile coach like Brian Kelly at LSU immediately resets the college football hiring landscape. This move, driven by the SEC's insatiable appetite for national championships and unlimited resources, acts as the first domino. While the LSU vacancy itself may attract numerous top candidates, the real danger for programs like Iowa State lies in the cascading effect the carousel creates. A coach leaving for Baton Rouge often opens up another high-level job (e.g., at an

The 41-27 defeat of the Iowa State Cyclones by the undefeated BYU Cougars was not just a loss; it was a devastating narrative of self-destruction that likely ended the team's Big 12 Championship aspirations. For a quarter and a half, Iowa State played with the confidence of a true contender, building a commanding 24-10 lead. The offense was clicking, the defense was stifling, and the home crowd was electric. However, what followed was perhaps the most rapid and comprehensive in-game collapse the

The Iowa State Cyclones face a precarious matchup against BYU, where their extensive injury situation presents a critical vulnerability. The most immediate concern is the defense, with star defensive tackle Domonique Orange listed as doubtful and the secondary already decimated by season-ending injuries. This defensive strain is compounded by the previous absence of reliable kicker Kyle Konrardy, which forced a detrimental offensive shift. Without Konrardy's field goal range security, the Cyclones

The clash between the undefeated BYU Cougars and the 5-2 Iowa State Cyclones at Jack Trice Stadium is easily a season-defining moment for both programs. For the Cyclones, fresh off a bye week following two disappointing conference losses, this matchup against BYU Cougars represents a crucial opportunity to salvage their season and regain traction in the Big 12 race. Iowa State is technically a narrow betting favorite, likely due to the advantage of playing at home in Ames, where the Cougars have

The Iowa State Cyclones offense has been hampered by significant third-down inefficiency in their recent losses to Cincinnati and Colorado, converting a combined 6-of-28 attempts. This glaring issue, which has stalled critical drives and squandered scoring opportunities, has placed the team at a difficult Iowa State Football Crossroads. However, head coach Matt Campbell remains remarkably unconcerned with the raw third-down statistics, instead emphasizing his philosophical commitment to dominating

The current betting line favoring the unranked Iowa State Cyclones over the No. 11, undefeated BYU Cougars is one of the most surprising twists in college football this week. On paper, a 7-0 BYU team, fresh off a thrilling victory against its bitter rival, should be the clear BYU vs Iowa State betting line favorite. However, a deeper dive into the contextual factors suggests why oddsmakers have given the advantage to the Cyclones. Chief among these is the scheduling disparity: Iowa State is

Iowa State’s path to the Big 12 Championship isn't defined by perfection; it's paved by the conference's endemic chaos. In the new, expanded Big 12, the landscape is marked by unprecedented parity where no team can cruise. Every contender, including the Cyclones, is guaranteed to take a few stumbles. This very lack of a dominant, single-loss giant is precisely what keeps Iowa State, even with recent defeats, firmly in the race.

Iowa State’s offense presents a paradox: possessing legitimate Big 12 talent, particularly at quarterback with Rocco Becht, yet often settling for a frustratingly mediocre identity. The debate over the unit’s struggles often centers on individual performance versus play-calling, specifically between Becht and Offensive Coordinator Taylor Mouser. While Becht is a proven, clutch quarterback who minimizes turnovers and has shown strong leadership, the systemic issues stem not from player failure but

The current state of Iowa State football presents a study in conflicting trends across the Cyclones’ depth chart, suggesting a foundational challenge for the program. The offense, while uneven, exhibits pockets of upward mobility. The wide receiver corps is undeniably trending positively, developing into a reliable unit. This ascent is supported by the running back position, which is generally trending up, despite the evaluation difficulty posed by injury concerns like the one affecting Cartwright

The recent struggles of the Iowa State Cyclones, marked by consecutive losses and an alarming 50% reduction in quarterback rating (QBR) over those two games, naturally draw critical attention to signal-caller Rocco Becht. On paper, the statistical plunge suggests that Becht is the core problem, struggling with accuracy and decision-making when the team needs him most. This narrative is further fueled by crucial turnovers and stalled drives, placing immense pressure on the young leader to
