INSIDE THE SERIES

At Ames: ISU leads 6-4
Campbell vs. BU: 3-3

FOUR THINGS
80 – Matt Campbell is coaching his 80^th career game as Cyclone head coach, the fifth-most in ISU history … he owns the best winning percentage (.570), best league winning percentage (.574), most league wins (31) and the second-most overall victories (45) in school history.

3 – Straight games in the series decided by one score, including a 38-31 win by the Cyclones the last time the teams met at Jack Trice Stadium.

74.3 – Hunter Dekkers is one of just three Big 12 quarterbacks with at least 100 passing attempts and the redshirt sophomore is completing 74.3 of his passes as a first-year starter, which ranks second in the league and seventh nationally.

20 – Iowa State's defense has allowed fewer than 20 points in all three games this season … it's the first time since 2017 that ISU allowed fewer than 20 points in three-straight contests.

PERFECT SEPTEMBER
ISU looks to complete a perfect September for the first time since 2011 … the last four-win perfect September was in 2002.

Will McDonald has been dominant to start the season, but it hasn't meant sacks for ISU's career leader. Against Ohio, though, McDonald got his first of the season and became just the fourth player in Big 12 history with 30 career sacks.
