Cincinnati Football: Quarterback battle will play a key role as the Bearcats meet Iowa State
By Charles Post
Cincinnati Bearcats quarterback Emory Jones and Iowa State Cyclones freshman Rocco Becht are set to play a key role in the upcoming matchup!
Jones is coming off an impressive performance with 350 total yards and three touchdowns but it wasn’t enough to secure a win against the BYU Cougars.
Scott Satterfield’s team must get a quality outing from the offense and shut down the Cyclones from creating explosive plays on a consistent basis.
The Iowa State quarterback compiled 348 passing yards and three touchdowns during a victory over the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the Big 12 opener.

Cincinnati Football: Bearcats must shut down Iowa State’s improved offensive attack
Despite suffering a recent losing skid, the Bearcats are hoping to take down Iowa State and eventually secure the first ever Big 12 win in school history!
Iowa State is led by Becht alongside running back Eli Sanders and leading wide receiver Jaylin Noel, plus defensive backs Jeremiah Cooper and TJ Tampa.
Jones tied a team record with seven touchdowns during the season opener but struggled to find as much success throughout the recent losing streak.
With a renewed sense of motivation and purpose, the Bearcats will look to end to the surprising skid and get back in the win column against Iowa State.
