Iowa State vs Oklahoma State Game Preview

Why Iowa State Will Win

The defense continues to be fantastic, and it’s by a mile.

Iowa State leads the Big 12 in total defense allowing just 284 yards per game – Baylor is No. 2 allowing 355.

Oklahoma State is dead last allowing 466 yards per game – 182 more than Iowa State and 30 more than the second-worst D. That’s been fine, but the offense that was able to overcome the problems went in the tank.

The O got shut out in a strange loss to Kansas State, and couldn’t get going until it was way too late in the 37-16 loss to Kansas last week.

The Iowa State defense isn’t what you want to face when everything is struggling. However …

Why Oklahoma State Will Win

Turnovers have been among the biggest issues lately with nine in the last three games. For all of the great things the Iowa State defense does, it doesn’t force takeaways with just five in the last games.

No, the offense isn’t working in a puzzling power outage, but if the Cowboys can get anything going, Iowa State can’t keep up.

The Cyclone offense worked fine against West Virginia, and it should be able to put up 400 yards on the Cowboy D, but the pop isn’t there.

Oklahoma State might not do enough on defense, but it’s great on third downs and it’s able to get into the backfield and come up with big stops. If it can just get off the field and not let Iowa State dictate the tempo, everything should be fine. But …

What’s Going To Happen

The Oklahoma State offense has to work.

The team is 5-0 at home, but Texas is the only team it faced that’s likely to go bowling. It’s 1-3 on the road, and that appears to be a big deal for the offense, too.

The five best Oklahoma State yardage days this year came at home, the four worst were on the road. Iowa State’s defense is good enough to hold up and hang around, but being back in Stillwater will help.

There won’t be four turnovers like there were against Kansas last week.

Why Iowa State Will Win

The offense has found its balance – but better.

It was well-balanced in the opener against Louisiana, but it wasn’t able to hit the 160-yard mark on the ground or through the air in the loss.

However, the offense hit 200 yards in both rushing and receiving against both TCU and Texas Tech, bombed away on Oklahoma, and had just enough of a running game to get by the Sooners.

The Cyclones are getting a good season so far out of the offensive line, Brock Purdy has hit 74% of his passes in two of the last three games, and on the other side, the run defense has been a rock. No one has been able to get to 120 yards on the ground so far – stop the run, stop Oklahoma State.

But …

CFN Experts Picks: College

Why Oklahoma State Will Win

The Oklahoma State rushing attack leads the Big 12, but it has the benefit of the 295-yard day against the Kansas free-space in the mix. Even so, the Cowboys can run.

Best of all, with the easy win a few weeks ago, and with all of the time off, QB Spencer Sanders has had time to heal his injured ankle. At the very least, he’ll be a part of a rotation for an O that should be able to hit the Cyclones in a variety of ways.

Sanders was good in last year’s win over the Cyclones – 249 passing yards, two scores, lots of big plays – and now he gets to step into a tuned up team whose defense has allowed just 27 points in three games.

Oklahoma State leads the nation in third down defensive stops – teams are only converting 17% of their chances – and the team appears ready to bust out with the time off.

What’s Going To Happen

Is this for a spot in the Big 12 Championship?

Iowa State still has to play Texas, but win this, and it’s going to be an odds-on favorite to get in. But Oklahoma State will pitch a gem.

No, the Cowboys haven’t played up to its overall talent level yet – including the layup over Kansas – and it’s about to get hit hard in the secondary by Brock Purdy and the Cyclone passing game, but it starts now.

This is when Oklahoma State starts to really look like the team everyone liked so much this offseason.
