The Cyclones have never finished with double-digit wins in a season, and this year looks like it could very well end that streak.
Per Cyclones.com:
The Cyclones (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) opened the season with six wins for the first time since 1938 and are bowl eligible for the seventh time in nine seasons under head coach Matt Campbell. The win marked Iowa State's sixth consecutive Big 12 road win.
Next up for the Cyclones is a home date with UCF, a Saturday kickoff time of 6:30 inside Jack Trice Stadium in Ames. Watch the game on FOX.
