Going on the road to play the Iowa State Cyclones is no easy task. Forget what the 0-4 in the Big 12 mark says, this Iowa State team will provide another in a long line of tough tests for the Oklahoma Sooners.
Iowa State’s defense is no joke, holding Texas to 24 points, Kansas (with Jalon Daniels) to 14, and Kansas State to 10. At the same time, this is a different type of offense, one that can create chunk plays in a hurry and is very balanced offensively.
Oklahoma’s offense is as good as any in the Big 12 this side of TCU when Dillon Gabriel is in the lineup. Oklahoma’s scored 30 or more points in each game Gabriel’s played all 60 minutes, and I don’t expect that to change in this one.
But again, it will not be easy. Oklahoma can win it, but there are several facets of the game that they’ll have to win. Here are five keys to a Sooners win over Iowa State.
