Iowa State football is gearing up for one of its most eagerly anticipated matchups of the 2025 season as they host Arizona State on Saturday, November 1, at Jack Trice Stadium. This game serves as a rematch of last year’s Big 12 championship, adding an extra layer of excitement to the contest.
The Cyclones, currently enduring a three-game losing streak, have been hit hard by injuries. According to the Big 12 player availability report released on October 29, Iowa State (5-3, 2-3 Big 12) will be missing eight key players as they prepare to face off against the Sun Devils (5-3, 3-2). Additionally, one Cyclones player is doubtful and six are listed as questionable for the matchup.
Arizona State is facing similar challenges as they also contend with significant injuries among their roster. The Sun Devils will be without ten players, including their starting quarterback, Sam Leavitt, who was sidelined due to injury sustained during their recent 24-16 loss to No. 22 Houston on October 25. Leavitt’s absence will necessitate a change at quarterback, with Jeff Sims taking his place. There are additional concerns among Arizona State’s ranks, notably with star wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, who is listed as doubtful ahead of the game.
