Key Match-Ups and Predictions as Oklahoma State looks for Run Game at Iowa State

STILLWATER – This is pretty simple. These two teams badly need to win this football game. Iowa State has a trip to Norman to play OU next week and Oklahoma State has an open week before the Friday game Oct. 6 with Kansas State. In case you’ve never experienced it, a loss going into a bye week is one of the worst experiences that a football coach and/or player can have. You have to wait two weeks, a double cycle before a chance comes to get the ugly taste out of your system.
