AMES, Iowa (AP) It's been 13 seasons since Iowa State won its Big 12 opener.
If the Cyclones can't end that drought this weekend, their hopes for salvaging this season could be over.
Iowa State (1-2) should feel somewhat confident Saturday. The Cyclones will be at home, are coming off a bye and will be hosting woeful Kansas (0-3), which is second to last among Power Five teams in total defense.
It's a game the Cyclones know they can't afford to lose, not with Texas Tech, No.
