Iowa State Cyclones vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys Key Stats
Hunter Dekkers has been sublime for the Cyclones this season. Even during their lean patch, Dekkers was providing brilliant performances and leading his side towards victory.
The Cyclones started the season brilliantly, winning all three of their opening games but then hit a downward spiral losing all of their subsequent five games, until last weekend when they ended that run with a win.
Dekkers has been pivotal in this entire process. He has racked up a total of 2370 passing yards over nine games, averaging 263 yards per game. He has a pass completion rate of 67% this season. He has thrown 16 touchdowns thus far with 10 interceptions. He is averaging almost two touchdowns per game earning him a QBR of 59.1 for the season. In his last game, he completed 24 of his attempted 36 passes over 219 yards with two touchdowns.
Garret Rangel started for the Cowboys last weekend in their loss against the Jayhawks. He attempted 40 passes, out of which he completed 27. This was only his second appearance of the season and he did a great job.
He racked up 304 pass yards in the game, throwing two touchdowns with three interceptions. He earned a QBR of 47.5 for that performance. It wasn't enough to see his team win, but it was a positive sign for the roster.
Iowa State Cyclones vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys
Final Prediction:
The Cyclones are the better-poised team to win this one. The Cowboys are missing their starting quarterback and will look toward Rangel once again.
Pound for pound, Dekkers beats Rangel in the quarterback battle and should lead the Cyclones to a win.
Iowa State Cyclones: -1.5 (-110)
