AMES (AP) - Iowa State used to be the cure for whatever ailed the rest of the Big 12.

No. 18 Oklahoma State could sure use a pick-me-up after getting blasted by No. 2 Texas 41-14 at home last week. But the Cyclones don't appear to be quite the pushovers they once were.

The Cyclones (5-4, 2-3 Big 12), who host Oklahoma State on Saturday, are in the thick of the muddled mess that is the Big 12 North title chase just a year after finishing 2-10.

Oklahoma State (6-2, 3-1) is looking for a comeback game from quarterback Zac Robinson, who threw four interceptions against the Longhorns.

Iowa State lost to Texas A&M 35-10 last week, snapping a two-game winning streak.
