Big 12 football features BYU vs. Arizona and Iowa vs. Iowa State

Big 12 Conference college football BYU Cougars Arizona Wildcats CyHawk Series

The Big 12 Conference enters its second week of the season with several high-profile matchups. A primary game features No. 15 BYU hosting Arizona in Provo. Both teams entered the week undefeated after dominant opening performances: BYU secured a 63-7 victory over Utah Tech, while Arizona defeated Northern Arizona 35-7. The matchup revives a historic rivalry, with Arizona seeking revenge for a double-overtime loss to the Cougars last season.

In the CyHawk Series, Iowa State travels to face No. 21 Iowa. Iowa enters the contest following a 40-0 shutout of Northern Illinois, while Iowa State is coming off a 38-10 win against Southeast Missouri State. Despite Iowa being favored, recent history suggests a close contest, as the last four meetings between the rivals were decided by a combined 14 points.

Other notable conference action includes Arizona State visiting No. 10 Texas A&M and Kansas hosting No. 23 Missouri.
