Iowa State’s defense prepares for Arkansas State

Ames, Iowa – Iowa State defensive back Jontez Williams says the Cyclones are not focused on their role as heavy favorite entering Saturday’s game against Arkansas State. The 20th ranked Cyclones are a better than three touchdown favorite against a Red Wolves team that is 2-1 after a 28-18 loss at Michigan.

The task for the defense this week is to slow down Arkansas State dual threat quarterback Jaylen Raynor. The sophomore has passed for more than 700 yards and also has two rushing touchdowns.

It has been next man up at linebnacker for the Cyclones at a position that has been hit with injuries. Sophomore Kooper Ebel (E-bull) made his first start in a 20-19 win at Iowa and finished with six tackles.

Ebel says the injured players are still having an impact.
