(Radio Iowa) – Game week is finally here as Iowa State gets set for a season of uncertainty by hosting Louisiana. The Big-12 has installed rigorous testing procedures for this season. ISU athletic director Jamie Pollard says each Friday teams will be tested and a roster certified.

Pollard says teams must have 53 players certified for a game to be played, including enough players in all position groups.

Pollard says how teams are able to navigate through the pandemic will have a major impact on the standings.
