[Live-Stream] Iowa State vs Louisiana NCAA College Football 2020

The Iowa State football team will make its 2020 debut Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium against Louisiana.Iowa State has a tough hill to climb to win the Big 12 Conference but this might be the best team to be able to do so. Led by quarterback Brock Purdy, the Cyclones could find themselves in the conference’s title game if they avoid losing more than two conference games this season. With two losses the Cyclones would still need some help from tiebreakers but with the near-even level of play among the top teams of the conference, it’s very likely Iowa State makes the cut.

No one will mistake the 2019 Bobcats defense for Iowa State’s 2020 squad. Nonetheless, Louisiana head coach Billy Napier clearly had no issues preparing for the 3-3-5 scheme, which is the same base formation that Cyclones defensive coordinator Jon Heacock employs.

Iowa State’s defense returns 73% of its production from 2019, when the Cyclones ranked 71st in success rate. They will miss last season’s top tackler, Marcel Spears Jr., but the Cyclones retain a bevy of linebackers and defensive backs with ample experience to offset Spears’ departure.
Iowa State is playing with the hopes of moving up in the national rankings, and they’re far better playing in Ames than they are on the road. That said, there will be no fans in the stands cheering them on, so it’s hard to see there being too much of a home-field advantage in this game.

I think Purdy and the Cyclones’ air attack becomes too much for the Louisiana defense, but I also think the Ragin’ Cajuns give them a good run, at least for a while. I see Iowa State winning, but UL-Lafayette covering the spread. OddShark has Louisiana winning by a predicted score of 33-30. I think it’ll be more like Iowa State 27, Louisiana 24.

KEY MATCHUP
The Cyclones’ defense could be the best in the Big 12. Ten players with starting experience are back, including All-Big 12 linemen JaQuan Bailey and Enyi Uwazurike and two-time all-conference safety Greg Eisworth. Louisiana-Lafayette’s balanced offense averaged nearly 500 yards per game last year and returns record-setting quarterback Levi Lewis.

PLAYERS TO WATCH
Louisiana-Lafayette: RB Elijah Mitchell was among 12 FBS players who ran for more than 1,110 yards last year. The Cajuns might rely a bit more on him early as the receiving corps establishes itself after the departure of star Ja’Marcus Bradley.

Iowa State: QB Brock Purdy comes into the season with high expectations after setting multiple school records. The Cyclones are averaging almost 430 yards and 32 points over Purdy’s 22 starts.
