ASU football vs Iowa State preview, prediction
Who has the edge in today’s Arizona State vs Iowa State Big 12 championship game?
The Arizona Republic’s Michelle Gardner previewed and predicted the game in her scouting report, writing that the lack of an Arizona State kicking game could have an outcome on the game.
She wrote: “The Sun Devils are playing with house money at this point. They hardly expected to be in this position. They will be hard-pressed to overcome the loss of one of their premier playmakers, Jordyn Tyson. Championship games often come down to the small things, and the fact that ASU does not have a reliable kicker is no small thing.”

What’s at stake in Big 12 title game between Iowa State, Arizona State
The Big 12 championship is obviously on the line in today’s Iowa State vs ASU football game at AT&T Stadium, but there’s a lot more on the line.
The winner of this game will earn a spot in the College Football Playoff, which has expanded to 12 teams this season and the bragging rights that come with it.
Just being in this game is a huge accomplishment for the Cyclones and Sun Devils. A victory and College Football Playoff appearance would be a incredible feat for both teams and no doubt help in exposure, recruiting and recognition for either program.
So, saying a lot is on the line in this game is an understatement.
Jordyn Tyson injury looms large for Arizona State vs Iowa State
The Sun Devils lost their leading wide receiver in their win over Arizona last week to injury and it is a huge blow for Arizona State, which has relied heavily on Jordyn Tyson all season.
Tyson had 75 catches for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns before going down with the injury.
No one else is even close to matching that receiving production for ASU.
How will ASU respond without Tyson? That’s a key to the Big 12 championship game against Iowa State today.
How Arizona State, Iowa State got to Big 12 championship game today
The Sun Devils were 5-2 on the season after falling to Cincinnati on Oct. 19 (and 2-2 in the Big 12). They then rattled off five straight conference wins to earn their berth in the title game today, beating Oklahoma State, UCF, Kansas State, BYU and Arizona.
Iowa State started the season 7-0, before losing two straight games to Texas Tech and Kansas. The Cyclones rebounded to make the championship game with wins over Cincinnati, Utah, and Kansas State.
Colorado, BYU, Arizona State and Iowa State all finished 7-2 in Big 12 play, but ASU and ISU got in the title game due to the conference’s tiebreaker scenarios falling their way.
First-ever matchup between Arizona State, Iowa State in college football
The Big 12 championship game is the first-ever matchup for Iowa State and Arizona State in football.
That’s hard to believe, but true. The Cyclones and Sun Devils have never faced off on the football field.
Now Big 12 rivals, these schools should start playing each other often, even with 16 teams in the conference.
Playing in the Big 12 championship game with the conference title and a College Football Playoff spot on the line is certainly an amazing way to start a rivalry.

PAGE, AZ (AZFamily) — A person accused of making terroristic threats toward a northern Arizona medical facility was arrested Friday morning.
Just after 10:30 p.m., police received a report of a person calling the facility and threatening to kill staff and Native Americans, according to the Page Police Department.
Authorities said staff placed the facility on lockdown until officers identified the suspect and arrested them outside their home.
The suspect was booked on charges of disorderly conduct, threatening and intimidating, and making terroristic threats. Police have not publicly identified the person.
“The Page Police Department is grateful for and supports the medical staff’s decision to put the medical facility into lockdown until the suspect was arrested and the situation was rendered safe,” the department said in a Facebook post.

In these four-round projections, the Arizona Cardinals don’t get a tackle until the fourth round.
We are just days away from the 2026 NFL draft, and that means some final mock drafts. What direction will the draft take the Arizona Cardinals?
Draft Wire’s Curt Popejoy put together a four-round mock draft for the Cardinals. They go defense early but rebuild the offense for 2026 and moving forward, including landing their potential franchise quarterback.
Cardinals 4-round mock draft
Here are the players in the first four rounds Popejoy projects for Arizona.
- Round 1: Ohio State EDGE/LB Arvell Reese
- Round 2: Alabama QB Ty Simpson
- Round 3: Clemson WR Antonio Williams
- Round 4: Florida OT Austin Barber
What we think of the picks
The Cardinals want to trade out of the third pick and draft a tackle, so not getting a tackle until Round 4 seems unlikely, although they did meet with Barber. They do have options at right tackle for 2026 already on the roster.
Reese would be a great pick if they don’t trade back, as they badly need pass-rushing help off the edge.
Drafting Simpson seems inevitable at this point, so it has to be in a mock draft, although the feeling is they will need to go up into Round 1 again to get him.
Williams has speed and is almost six feet tall, but he does have short arms.

Due to significant injuries to the CB position last year which includes a shoulder surgery for Terrion Arnold, the Lions CB position scored a 6/10 need on my Lions Defensive Draft Need Rankings. Thus, an early-round selection of a young, healthy prospect like Keith Abney would not come as a surprise. He enters the draft with very low medical concern level.
Here is the excerpt from my medical report on Keith Abney:
(Ages in parentheses are at start of 2026 season and are factored into the concern level. Injury info and ages based on available public information are unverified and subject to update. Games played data courtesy of sports-reference.com.)
Keith Abney, CB (21) – Arizona State
Projected round 2-3. #43 on Jeff Risdon board Feb 19.
Concern level 0/10
There is an isolated report of a hand injury but no corroborating information. Even if the hand injury is true, that’s of minimal to no long-term concern.
His availability in his final two seasons has been perfect. Overall, Abney appears to be medically clean and is at an excellent age.
He finished college with 6 INT and 21 PBU.
