BYU exposes offensive inconsistency after West Virginia breakout

Iowa State's offense regressed sharply from its 577-yard, 45-point performance against West Virginia, with protection breakdowns, BYU pressure, 98 passing yards and a 2-for-13 third-down rate. Midseason analysis continues to question Jaylen Raynor's accuracy, decisions and passing-game performance and has raised the possibility of a quarterback change, though no decision has been announced.
