Cyclone Alert's Alec Busse previews Iowa State's home football game vs. No. 24 Oklahoma State with Ben Hutchens, an Oklahoma State beat writer. Later in the show, Alec does his local preview of Iowa State's side of the matchup.
With Henry Annen out sick, Alec flies solo on his preview of the Cyclones, answering three big questions, including topics on the quarterback, defense and Iowa State's mentality in the later parts of the show. He also provides a pick to click on offense and defense.
In the interview with Hutchens, the tandem discusses the high-powered Cowboy passing attack led by play-calling head coach Eric Morris, standout quarterback Drew Mestemaker and standout receivers Wyatt Young and Justin Bowick.
