14 Iowa State hosts Arizona in a Big 12 game in Ames, Iowa. Since the start of the 2024 season, Iowa State owns an 8-1 record in games decided by 8 points or less. 'The reality, fortunate or unfortunate, the life we live here is there's always a lot of one-score games,' said Iowa State coach Matt Campbell. Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht and Arizona's Noah Fifita are both redshirt juniors who won conference Freshman of the Year awards in 2023. Iowa State will be without kicker Kyle Konrardy, who earlier this season made a school-record 63-yard field goal, due to injury.
