- Pinnacle on Iowa St
Both Oklahoma St and Iowa St have fantastic defenses so this game is about special teams, turnovers, coaching and the home field advantage. Iowa State is allowing just 16.3 points per game so Oklahoma State is expected to struggle at various points throughout this game offensively. As for Iowa St, leading the Cyclones offensively is junior running back Breece Hall who has looked unstoppable this season as he has recorded 748 rushing yards and ten rushing touchdowns. In addition, he has recorded 152 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown as he has been impactful in several areas. Following the victory against Kansas State, Iowa State coach Matt Campbell praised quarterback Brock Purdy's performance. Purdy’s been continually hyped so it’s nice to see him coming into his talent now. OSU is undefeated and it’s very difficult to go on the road and get a seventh straight win. For the oddsmakers to favor Iowa St by 7.5 knowing that record, it shows you who Vegas thinks will win in a huge way; that being Iowa St. They’re definitely basing it on the overall play of their quarterback. Leading the Cowboys offensively is junior quarterback Spencer Sanders who has looked mediocre this season as he has recorded six passing touchdowns and three rushing touchdowns. However, he has also thrown three interceptions as he has struggled with his ball security up to this point. Turnover’s on the road are instant killers for the visitors. Look for those to come up. The prediction is that the Cowboys just can’t score enough points to stay in this game. Look for a 24-13 type of game and a nice home win for Iowa St.
