We have reached week five of the college football season and this is a Big 12 showdown. The Iowa State Cyclones make the trip to McLane Stadium to take on the Baylor Bears.
The Cyclones have won the last two games played between the two teams.
Iowa State Cyclones
The Iowa State Cyclones have been a hard team to figure out this year, and I still don’t have a great grasp on who they really are.
[dfads params=’groups=220&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
The first couple of games of the season they struggled and were sitting with a 1-1 record. In their last game they took on ULM and the offense finally broke up and put up 72 points and that led to an easy victory.

At quarterback the Cyclones are led by Brock Purdy who lit up the scoreboard throwing for 435 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception.
On the defensive side the Cyclones have been strong giving up 21.3 points per game and in this game that defense is going to need to be really good.
The Cyclones also need to get out to a fast start. I am not sure they have the offense to keep up if they fall behind early.
Baylor Bears
On the other side of this matchup is the Baylor Bears who haven’t played a tough schedule and it has led to a 3-0 victory.
The first two games were impressive but in the last game they played Rice and the offense struggled to put up only 21 points and although they won, they can’t be happy with how they played.
In the previous two games they scored at least 56 points so the big question now is which team are they really? Are they the team from the first two weeks or are they the team that struggled against Rice.
At quarterback the Bears are led by Charlie Brewer who has been good throwing for 665 yards and seven touchdowns. They haven’t really needed to lean on him much, but in this game it’s going to be important that he has a strong game.
If the Bears offense struggles to score points in this game, I think they are going to have a real issue coming away with a win.
