Despite its defensive struggles, the Cyclones have the best scoring defense in the Big 12 at 19.5 points per game. K-State lost to the No. 2 scoring defense (BYU) and the No. 5 scoring defense (Houston) on the road earlier this season.

Kansas State football looks to finish the regular season with a victory at Iowa State. Here's a scouting report and a prediction for Saturday's game:

Now, Cincinnati will pose some threats against a porous K-State secondary. Bearcats quarterback Brendan Sorsby is averaging 245.3 passing yards per game. Much lesser quarterbacks have torched the Wildcats through the air.

The Cyclones have a lot on the line when they take the field Saturday vs. Kansas State, including a potential school record for wins.
