The Preview

ISU Offense vs Oklahoma State Defense: Advantage, Oklahoma State. The Cowboys have a better defense than they brought into Jack Trice Stadium for that fateful night in 2011.

Oklahoma State Offense vs Iowa State Defense: Advantage, Oklahoma State. It's no secret that OSU likes to pass the ball and does it well. For ISU to have any chance, they're going to have to force the Cowboys to run the ball.

Special Teams: Advantage, Iowa State. Cole Netten is coming around late in the season.

Prediction

It's going to take a lot of luck and a heck of a game plan from Paul Rhoads for Iowa State to repeat what they did back in 2011. However, against top-5 Oklahoma State, in Jack Trice Stadium, on ESPN, in November... Anything can happen.

I'd probably pick a bigger OSU win than I did during the preseason for this one. That said, I thought we'd get blasted in 2011 (who didn't, really?). I'll stick with my preseason prediction, per the norm.

Oklahoma State 35, ISU 24
