College football updates: Baylor prepares for Iowa State and USF defeats UAB

Baylor football is preparing for a Homecoming matchup against Iowa State at McLane Stadium following a 41-9 victory over UCF. Interim head coach Klanderman noted that the offense appeared more relaxed during the win, which included 503 total yards. Klanderman also praised Iowa State sophomore tailback Aiden Flora, describing him as potentially the best in the league after his performance against Oklahoma State.

In another matchup, South Florida secured a 30-10 home victory against the UAB Blazers. The Bulls' defense was a standout performer, highlighted by J. Hicks, who recorded a 96-yard fumble-return touchdown and four sacks. While the defense contributed significantly, the USF offense struggled with efficiency, settling for multiple field goals after drives stalled near the red zone. The injury status of Michael Van Buren remains unknown following his removal during the second quarter.
