Cincinnati coach Scott Satterfield says the Bearcats face a tough challenge as they get ready to host 14th ranked Iowa State. Cincinnati is 3-1 overall and opened Big 12 play with a win at Kansas.

Former ISU assistant Tyson Veidt is The Bearcat’s defensive coordinator and they run the same type of defense as the Cyclones.

A year ago in Ames, Iowa State limited Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby to 66 yards of passing in a 34-17 Cyclone victory.

Satterfield says this will be a much different matchup.
