This Saturday’s matchup between the Oklahoma Sooners and the Iowa State Cyclones is a tale of two teams.
Oklahoma boasts one of the best offenses in the country while the Cyclones’ strength is their stingy defense. The Sooners have struggled on defense in 2022, while it’s Iowa State’s offense that has had the harder time up in Ames.
The Sooners come into the game as slight favorites on the road after erupting for 52 points against Kansas. Before the bye, Iowa State suffered their fourth-straight loss and their fourth loss in a one-score game.
When Dillon Gabriel has played a full game for the Sooners they’ve scored more than 30 points each time.
The Baylor Bears are the only team to score more than 30 in a game this season against Iowa State. Texas scored 24 in the Cyclones’ week seven loss. No other teams have scored more than 20 against Iowa State this season.
Here’s a look at how the two sides stack up in this week’s By the Numbers.
