Iowa State vs Baylor Game Preview
Why Iowa State Will Win
It’s not like everything is back to normal just because Iowa State rolled past a miserable UNLV team, but it sure did help to put up close to 500 yards of total offense in the 48-3 win.

Iowa State won’t look like a true Big 12 championship contender quite yet, but it’ll take a step forward to get there.
