Iowa State Cyclones Betting - Camping World Bowl Odds

Iowa State has done the improbable in keeping Matt Campbell for at least one more season. Campbell was linked to multiple job openings over the last few weeks, but he has signed an extension to remain in Ames. Although the Cyclones were a little disappointing this season with a 7-5 record in 2019, that doesn’t diminish what he’s accomplished since arriving on campus.

After a 3-9 season in 2016, Campbell has led Iowa State to three straight winning seasons. The Cyclones have arguably the worst resources in the conference, so that success has brought a lot of attention his way, and he will eventually cash in in a big way. As of now, Campbell is out to lead his team to an 8-5 record for the third straight season against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in sunny Orlando for the Camping World Bowl. Notre Dame is currently a small favorite per the college football betting odds.

Brock Purdy had a little hiccup during his sophomore season, but Purdy still finished as one of the best passers in the Big 12. Purdy completed 66.3 percent of his passes for 3,760 yards with 27 touchdowns and nine interceptions on the year, and he was the team’s second leading rusher with 265 yards and eight touchdowns. He nearly led Iowa State to a win over Oklahoma in Norman in early November, but his five touchdown passes against the Sooners weren’t enough.

Four players ended the season with 600 receiving yards or more for the Cyclones. Deshaunte Jones was the most frequent target with 72 receptions for 832 yards and two touchdowns, while Tarique Milton was the deep threat averaging 20.9 YPC. Tight end Charlie Kolar and LaMichael Pettway were the red zone threats, catching 13 touchdowns passes on the year.

As the season went on, freshman Breece Hall established himself as the best running back on the team. Hall led Iowa State with 842 rushing yards, averaging 5.0 YPC this campaign. He had 95 rushing yards or more in five of his last seven games, but the two schools from the Sunflower State limited him in his last two tilts of the year.

Hall will need to have a good outing against Notre Dame as the Irish have the fourth-best pass defense in college football according to yards per attempt. Notre Dame is a lot more porous in the front seven, so Hall will be asked to exploit that weakness.

Ian Book has had some accuracy issues, but his play has made Notre Dame one of the better offenses in the country. Book has completed just under 60 percent of his passes on the year, averaging 7.5 YPA, but he has 33 touchdowns compared to six interceptions. Additionally, Notre Dame’s quarterback is the second leading rusher on the team with 516 rushing yards, and he is averaging 6.5 YPA if you take out sack yardage.

Chase Claypool and Cole Kmet have been fantastic targets in the passing game. Kmet has lived up to the hype, continuing a long tradition of solid Notre Dame tight ends, while Claypool finished with nearly twice as many receiving yards as his next closest teammate.

Tony Jones Jr. averaged 5.4 YPC as the primary running back for the Irish. Iowa State’s defense has had trouble stopping the run, allowing 4.1 YPC, so he could have a nice performance in central Florida over the holidays.

Regular Season Recap

College Gameday came to Ames for the first time ever in mid-September, but Iowa State lost a hard- fought game to arch-rival Iowa 18-17 for its first loss of the season. The Cyclones outgained the Hawkeyes by over 100 yards, yet two turnovers cost them dearly, setting the stage for a disappointing season.

Iowa State went on the road and nearly beat Baylor after erasing a fourth quarter deficit of 20 points, but the Cyclones fell to 2-2 after the Bears drove down the field to score the game winning field goal. They rallied off three straight wins after that loss, and they almost ruined Oklahoma’s undefeated season in early November.

The Cyclones trailed the Sooners by 21 points at halftime, but they nearly erased that deficit to beat Oklahoma in Norman for the second straight time. Purdy was responsible for all six of Iowa State’s touchdowns, yet the Cyclones lost 42-41 after a two-point conversion attempt with less than 30 seconds left failed to pay off.

This team shook off the loss to beat Texas and become bowl eligible, but Iowa State came out flat against Kansas State in its season finale to lost 27-17 on the road as a five-point favorite.
