deskgameIowa State is unlikely to shut down Ward, but the Cyclones have been exceptional against the pass. All-Big 12 CBs Jontez Williams and Malik Verdon lead an Iowa State defense that surrendered 179 passing yards per game; the fewest in the conference.

Getting a lead on the Fighting Irish’s stout defense is easier said than done, but the Nittany Lions have elite talent on offense.
