The Week 11 clash between the Iowa State Cyclones and the TCU Horned Frogs is a high-stakes Big 12 Football showdown, pivotal for both programs. For Iowa State, the motivation is immense: ending a frustrating four-game losing streak and regaining momentum that saw them ranked as high as 12th earlier in the season. The Cyclones need stability from quarterback Rocco Becht, whose recent struggles have mirrored the team's slide. Becht must leverage the running game to set up downfield shots, minimizing the turnovers that have plagued the offense in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, TCU looks to protect its home turf and keep its distant Big 12 Championship aspirations alive as they begin a tough closing stretch. The Horned Frogs, rested after a bye week, rely heavily on quarterback Josh Hoover, who has been one of the nation’s most prolific passers, averaging over 330 yards per game. Hoover’s success hinges on connecting with star receiver Eric McAlister, who ranks among the league leaders in receiving yards. This NCAAF battle will be determined by whether Iowa State’s stingy defense can pressure Hoover, or if the Cyclones’ offense can finally find the necessary finish to snap their skid.
