The Lead
Iowa State (3-2, 1-1 Big 12) travels to Kansas State (3-2, 0-2 Big 12) on Saturday. ISU will try and end a seven-game losing streak to the Wildcats in Manhattan. ISU's last win at KSU was in 2004. Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell has 27 career victories vs. Big 12 teams, sharing the school record with Dan McCarney (1995-2006) for most league wins. ISU is 14-2 in games played in October since 2017, tying for the second-most wins nationally by a Power 5 team in that span.
