As the upcoming meeting approaches, the Cincinnati Bearcats are attempting to shut down an improved offensive attack from the Iowa State Cyclones!
Iowa State is led by freshman quarterback Rocco Becht and wide receiver Jaylin Noel, plus dynamic defensive backs Jeremiah Cooper and TJ Tampa.
The Cyclones opened conference play with a 34-27 win against the Oklahoma State Cowboys before a 27-14 victory over the TCU Horned Frogs last week.
With a chance to snap a three-game losing streak, Cincinnati must find an offensive rhythm early on and contain Iowa State’s balanced offensive unit.

Cincinnati Football: Players to watch as the Bearcats prepare to take on Iowa State
Corleone compiled 45 tackles and three sacks in his freshman campaign, and has continued to play at a high level with 17 tackles and two sacks this year.
Jones tied a team record with seven touchdowns during the season opener but struggled to find as much success throughout the recent losing streak.
Metayer should continue to build on his improved play as Cincinnati aims to get back on track from a frustrating skid with Iowa State coming to town.
Scott Satterfield’s team must get a quality showing from the offense and shut down the Cyclones from creating several explosive plays throughout the day!
