ULM is coming in with the Warhawk cry to take down the Cyclones. The game could befairly interesting as the Warhawks and Cyclones are both sitting on a 1-1 record on the year. However, the way the Cyclones have been playing has been quite a bit more interesting and the team has faced some stronger opponents on the year with two top 25 teams on the calendar already and both of those teams nearly fell in their games.

The only real team that the Warhawks have faced on the year has been Florida State and that was a battle that saw the Warhawks fall short in the game. Granted, it was a 45-44 loss in over time, but the fact remains that the Warhawks have not really faced the same level of competition that the Cyclones have faced this year.

Caleb Evans is the leading quarterback for the Warhawks this season. He has thrown the ball for 424 yards, 3 touchdowns and a pick. Rushing the ball has been the job of Josh Johnson with 36 carries for 299 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Brock Purdy is the quarterback the Cyclones have come to rely on this year. He has managed to throw the ball for 554 yards and 3 touchdowns on the year. Rushing the ball for the Cyclones has been the job of Kene Nwangwu who has carried the ball 10 times for only 84 yards.

The Cyclones have faced a completely different level of competition on the season so far and that will make a difference in this game. Yes, the Warhawks gave Florida State a challenge, but the Seminoles are not ranked and definitely not near the level that Washington State nor Iowa have played at on the year and that will give the Cyclones the slight advantage in this game. Final Score Prediction, Iowa State Cyclones win, but fail to cover ATS 35-24.
