BYU Loses Key Players Martin, Glasker for Iowa State

BYU coach Kalani Sitake confirmed that star running back LJ Martin and linebacker Isaiah Glasker are doubtful for Friday’s game against Iowa State. Both players exited the previous week’s win over TCU with injuries. Sitake noted that the team will rely on a committee of backups, including senior Preston Rex and freshmen Journee Tonga and Devaughn Eka, to manage the absence of their top two rushers. Defensive back Cannon DeVries is probable to play, while Siale Esera returns to the depth chart. The Cougars, ranked No. 8, are heavy favorites in Provo despite the roster gaps.

Rogers Era Starts with a Dominant Cyclones Win Over SEMO

Iowa State opened the Jimmy Rogers era with a 38-10 win over Southeast Missouri State, anchored by a swarming defense that forced three turnovers and logged six sacks while limiting SEMO’s ground game to 1.2 yards per carry. Offense showed flashes under quarterback Jaylen Raynor (184 passing yards, two passing TDs and two rushing TDs) but looked imperfect, particularly with run blocking and progression reads. It’s a strong defensive start with plenty of offensive wrinkles to refine before next week’s Cy-Hawk showdown with Iowa.
