Game Primer: How To Watch, Things to Know for Iowa State at Kansas

It's Homecoming Week and the undefeated Kansas Jayhawks are hosting the Iowa State Cyclones. Here's everything you need to know about today's game.

The Kansas Jayhawks continue their homestand with a Homecoming matchup against a team that absolutely blasted the last season, the Iowa State Cyclones. But this time, Kansas is riding high on the performances of their offense and there is some optimism surrounding the program, as evidenced by this being the second straight sellout.

Kansas leads the all-time series between these two teams 50-45-6, including a 28-19-3 record in Lawrence. However, the Cyclones have won 11 out of the last 12 meetings, with the only Jayhawk win being a 34-13 victory in Lawrence on November 8, 2014.
