The No. 15 Arizona State Sun Devils and No. 16 Iowa State Cyclones are set to face off in the Big 12 Championship Game with a chance to secure a spot in the College Football Playoff. Arizona State has made an impressive turnaround this season, going from last place in the conference to the title game with a 10-2 record. On the other hand, Iowa State is coming off a historic 10-win season and will be looking to end their 112-year conference title drought.
Key players to watch in the game include Arizona State’s dynamic running back Cameron Skattebo and Iowa State’s strong passing defense led by Beau Breyler, Malik Verdon, and Jeremiah Cooper. However, Arizona State will be without their top receiver Jordan Tyson due to injury, putting more pressure on Skattebo to deliver against the Cyclones.
The game is scheduled for Saturday, December 7, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and will be broadcast on ABC. The odds are slightly favoring Iowa State, who are predicted to win by a narrow margin in a game where Tyson’s absence could be a deciding factor.
The matchup between these two teams, who have never played each other before, promises to be an exciting and closely contested battle. Both programs will be eager to secure a victory and make a strong case for a spot in the College Football Playoff.
