FOUR THINGS
3 – Consecutive wins by the Cyclones against UNI ... the last two games were decided by an average of 4.5 points.

3 – Watch lists named to for defensive back T.J. Tampa ... the senior is on the Jim Thorpe Award, Bronko Nagurski Trophy and Chuck Bednarik Award watch lists.

6 – ISU returns six starters from the Big 12's top-ranked defense in 2022 ... this included top tackler in linebacker Gerry Vaughn.

300 – Saturday's showdown will be the 300th game played at Jack Trice Stadium ... ISU is 151-145-3 at the stadium, including 29-17 under Campbell.

LOOKING FOR NO. 100
Iowa State junior wide receiver Jaylin Noel enters the season with 99 receptions ... with one catch against the Panthers, Noel would match Otto Stowe (1968-70) as the third-fastest to 100 catches in program history ... only Xavier Hutchinson (19 games) and Allen Lazard (23) have done it faster than 26 games.

Noel has a reception in 20 consecutive games, which ties for the 10th-longest streak in school history.
