Iowa State is on the doorstep of the college football playoff and the 16th ranked Cyclones can clinch a spot on Saturday with a win over 12th ranked Arizona State in the Big 12 championship in Dallas. Both teams are 10-2. Arizona State will be without injured star receiver Jordyn Tyson but Cyclone coach Matt Campbell says a lot of weapons remain for an offense that averages more than 32 points per game.

Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt has passed for 21 touchdowns and just five interceptions.

Campbell says a key to this season has been the Cyclones’ drive to raise their level of play.

In a game this big it is up to the veterans to set the tone. The Cyclones are in the title game for the first time since 2020.

It is at 11:00am kickoff in Dallas. The game will be televised by ABC.
