Iowa State coach Matt Campbell says improvement along the offensive line has played a big part in their four game winning streak.
The Cyclones take a 5-3 record into a home game against Baylor this weekend.
Playing a true freshman at quarterback is rarely a good option but it has worked for the Cyclones as Brock Purdy has led them to four straight wins. Campbell says Purdy’s work ethic was one of the reasons they were confident enough to play him.
Campbell says the Baylor offense has done well on third down because of success on first and second down.
Campbell says Baylor’s skill will be a challenge for the Cyclone defense.
Baylor coach Matt Rhule says the Bears need to find a way to solve Iowa State’s defense when the teams collide in Ames. Baylor is 5-4 after beating Oklahoma State and take on an ISU team that has won four in a row.
Rhule says the Cyclones are more multiple on defense than they were last season.
Rhule says the Bears will need to match the Cyclones from a physical standpoint.
Kick off is at 2:30 pm at Jack Trice Stadium.
