Iowa State prepares for matchup against No. 15 Utah on Saturday

Summary

Iowa State faces No. 15 Utah on Saturday in Ames as head coach Jimmy Rogers looks to build on the Cyclones' promising start to the season. After being projected as one of the worst teams in the Big 12, Iowa State has exceeded expectations with wins against Southeast Missouri State and Bowling Green, and a narrow loss to then-No. 21 Iowa. The Cyclones are bolstered by a strong defense and a potent rushing attack, led by running back Aiden Flora. Utah's innovative offensive schemes, including instances of no quarterback under center, present a significant challenge for Iowa State as they look to secure a vital victory.
