I'm going to accept three touchdowns with Arkansas State catching Iowa State in somewhat of a sandwich spot.
The Cyclones were idle last week. But two weeks ago they nipped heated in-state rival Iowa, 20-19. That win already makes the Cyclones successful for the year. Iowa State opens Big 12 Conference play next week at Houston.
So the Cyclones can't be faulted if they don't have a lot of motivation, facing this non-league opponent from the Sun Belt Conference.
It's a major drop in class for Iowa State. But Arkansas State does have pluses. Red Wolves QB Jaylen Raynor is a dual threat. Arkansas State will have the best wide receiver on the field in Corey Rucker. Iowa State is inexperienced at linebacker and ranks 111th in run defense.
The Cyclones likely will run the ball a lot. Arkansas State also will try to grind out yards. A heavy dose of running plays keeps the clock moving, which is good when taking a three-touchdown underdog.
