Big 12 college football matchups
Overview
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, No. 21 Iowa defeated Iowa State 16-13 at Kinnick Stadium. The victory ended Iowa’s two-game losing streak against the Cyclones. Kicker Caden Buhr provided all of Iowa’s scoring via three field goals, while quarterback Hank Brown added a rushing touchdown. Despite Iowa State holding a 10-0 lead in the second quarter, the Hawkeyes defense prevented the Cyclones from scoring in the final 25 minutes. The game concluded following a replay review regarding the clock; officials determined one second remained, but Iowa State was unable to execute a final snap because they were out of timeouts. The Cyclones also suffered a significant loss as wide receiver Evan Boyd sustained a season-ending knee injury.
Following the rivalry loss, the Iowa State Cyclones rebounded with a 55-7 victory over the Bowling Green Falcons and a 45-42 victory over the West Virginia Mountaineers. However, the Cyclones' momentum stalled in Week 6 against No. 8 BYU. BYU defeated Iowa State 24-10 at LaVell Edwards Stadium to maintain a perfect 5-0 record and a 3-0 start in Big 12 play. Quarterback Bear Bachmeier led the Cougars with 329 passing yards and two touchdowns, alongside 109 rushing yards, despite the absence of running back LJ Martin. Iowa State fell to 3-3, managing only 200 total yards in the contest, which marked its lowest single-game output since 2018.
