Iowa State coach Matt Campbell says no matter what happens at sixth ranked Oklahoma State there will be a lot of season remaining.
The 17th ranked Cyclones will be on the road this weekend and with a victory would be in the driver’s seat to claim a spot in the Big-12 title game.
The Cyclones have won three straight to open Big-12 play.
The Cyclones are not sure who they will face at quarterback. Oklahoma State starter Spencer Sanders injured an ankle on the second series in the opener against Tulsa and freshman Shane Illingworth has filled in during a 3-0 start.
Illingworth has completed 73 percent of his passes while Sanders has been out.
Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy won’t say who gets the start on Saturday.
Gundy says both could play on Saturday.
The Cowboys lead the Big-12 in defense by giving up just over nine points per game. Gundy says the challenge gets much tougher beginning Saturday.
Gundy says the Cyclones will present a challenge.
