BYU enters as double-digit favorite against Iowa State

BYU enters their matchup against Iowa State as a 14.5-point favorite following a 4-0 start to their season. The game is scheduled for Friday night in Provo, Utah.

Iowa State enters the contest with a 3-2 record after a 45-42 victory over West Virginia. In that game, running back Aiden Flora recorded 212 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns, while also contributing two passing touchdowns. The Cyclones also saw the return of redshirt freshman Ryver Peppers, who made his season debut after recovering from an Achilles injury.

While Iowa State's offense has been bolstered by its running game and improved passing from quarterback Jaylen Raynor, the team has faced defensive challenges. BYU looks to maintain its undefeated streak, with the health of starting running back LJ Martin expected to be a key factor in the upcoming game.
