Game Log: No. 17 Baylor Handles Iowa State in Road Victory
The No. 17 ranked Baylor Bears begin the Big 12 schedule in Ames as they take on the Iowa State Cyclones.
The Bears come into the matchup with a 2-1 record, the lone loss coming at BYU in Week 2 before bouncing back with a 42-7 win over Texas State last weekend. The Cyclones enter with an unblemished 3-0 record, with wins over Southeast Missouri and Ohio, but highlighted by a 10-7 win over arch-rival Iowa at Kinnick Stadium.
Baylor has won the last two September matchups against the Cyclones in 2021 and 2019, both at McLane Stadium. At Jack Trice Stadium, however, the Bears haven't won since 2016.
Sophomore quarterback Hunter Dekkers has been impressive for the Cyclones this season, having thrown eight touchdowns along with three interceptions. Wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson has been the most productive receiver in the conference, reeling in 28 receptions and five touchdowns in three games.
