With each win the games get bigger and for the second straight year Iowa State is 5-0 as the 14th ranked Cyclones prepare to visit Cincinnati. The Bearcats are 3-1 overall and opened Big 12 play with a win at Kansas.

That’s junior tight end Ben Brahmer who says this will be a tough road test for the Cyclones.

ISU won last year’s meeting 34-17 in Ames but Brahmer feels the Cincinnati defense is better this season.
