Entering the game against Texas Tech, Cyclones coach Matt Campbell said that the November games would define his team.

“You’re defined by how you’re playing in November,” Campbell said on Tuesday, via Des Moines Register. “You want to be in a position here, to be in the mix and be where you want to be. How do we do a great job of setting ourselves up for what is a critical time in any football team’s journey?"

“Who are you when you finish this thing in November, and what do you become? And I think those things are exciting for us, but what a great challenge.”

This season, Iowa State is led by Becht who has thrown for 1,712 yards, 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. Carson Hansen is the team's leading rusher with 398 yards and seven TDs, while Jaylin Noel leads the team with 681 receiving yards and three TDs.

Defensively, the team is led by Jontez Williams who has four interceptions, J.R. Singleton has three sacks and Malik Verdon has 53 tackles.

The Cyclones have a legitimate chance at winning the Big 12 and making the College Football Playoff. Iowa State's offense is expected to be successful against Texas Tech's defense.

Becht will have success passing the ball at home and the Cyclones should cruise to a lopsided win.

Prediction: Iowa State 35, Texas Tech 21.
