Iowa State quarterback Hunter Dekkers hopes the rapid growth of a young offense continues in Saturday’s Big 12 open against 17th ranked Baylor. Dekkers has completed more than 74 percent of his passes and has eight touchdowns in a 3-0 start.

This series has featured close and hard fought games.

Dekkers says Baylor’s speed on defense is a concern.

Dekkers has leaned on senior receiver Xavier Hutchinson in the first three games. Hutchinson has 28 receptions, including five for touchdowns.
