Iowa State needed a win against Kansas State to start the weekend and managed to come away with a 29-21 win in Ames. quarterback Rocco Becht scored a total of three touchdowns, threw for 137 yards and ran for another 35 yards.

The Cyclones then needed BYU to beat Houston to close out Big 12 Championship play Colorado. They got that result as BYU prevailed 30-18, setting the conference championship game in stone.

Iowa State reached the Big 12 Championship for the first time in program history. Of course, it’s also the first for Arizona State, which just moved from the Pac-12 to the conference this season.

The matchup will pit Skattebo against Iowa State’s defense, which ranks 15th in the conference in rushing yards allowed per game. This will be one of the many important matches to watch ahead of the competition.

The Big 12 Championship game begins at noon ET on Saturday, December 7th and will be broadcast on ABC.
