OK State has had quite a bit of trouble against the Cyclones of late. They needed a 24 point rally just to beat an Iowa State team that won only three games this season. The same thing was needed against the Cyclones on the road in 2015. Pokes fans will hope for a different result
Pokes fans will hope for a different result as the team travels to Ames once again. Even with OK State’s recent difficulties against the Clones, they still currently own a five-game winning streak in this series.
Iowa State may not be the eighth most talented team on OK State’s schedule next season, but Ames is always a tough place to play for any team. Plus, this game comes at a key point in time on the OK State schedule. This meeting is sandwiched between two key matchups against the Oklahoma Sooners and Kansas State Wildcats.
Cyclones head coach Matt Campbell will be looking for a marquee home win entering his second season and this is a great opportunity to pull off an upset.
