Most recently, the Cyclones dropped a 37-24 decision to West Virginia last Saturday. Quarterback Sam B. Richardson threw for 275 yards and two touchdowns in the team’s fifth-straight loss. The Cyclones rallied for 410 offensive yards on 22 first downs in Ames, Iowa.

The Horned Frogs smashed Texas 48-10 on Thanksgiving and limited the Longhorns to only 290 offensive yards in the matchup. Quarterback Trevone Boykin was 20-for-34 on the night for 233 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. The Horned Frogs went up 20-3 heading into halftime, and an interception return by defensive end Josh Carraway put the Horned Frogs up by 38 with under three minutes left in the game.
