Iowa State, although a nice little story the past couple weeks, really hasn't proven much other than they caught lightning in a bottle with their backup qb against three teams in the bottom half of the Big 12 defensively. Yes, beating OU was impressive, but OU has shown they aren't as dominant as previous years and are definitely looking past teams they assume to be inferior. See ISU, Baylor, UT. The Cyclones have only faced one Top 10 offense (OU).
Th Frogs lead the conference defensively and are top 10 nationally in many categories. Frogs have given up only 104 points total through 4 games including three games against teams ranked in the top 10 nationally (OSU, WVU, SMU). Those three teams alone average 129 points per game. Frogs surrender less than 300 yards per game and under 15 points per game.
Last year, the Frog defense was terrible by most accounts. Lazard had one catch for 8 yards. One catch. For eight yards.
Patterson defense confuses the new guy. Offense dominates TOP. Frogs win by 15.
