- Ahead of Iowa State's 2026 Utah game, Jimmy Rogers said Jaheim Singletary left the hospital the day of his Bowling Green collision and was in concussion protocol with a stiff neck. He was in good spirits, but return depended on clearing the protocol; Rogers did not clear him for Utah. - Rogers said Iowa State's Beni Ngoyi completed the whole practice and should be good to go. Drew Surges was doing some practice work and was expected to play, but the staff would continue assessing his progress; the two updates were not equivalent unconditional clearances. - Iowa State's Ryver Peppers was dressing and working back into practice, with live tackling planned that week to reacclimate him after time without being taken to the ground. Rogers described a gradual return to contact, not confirmed game availability or a set workload. - Rogers said Iowa State's Utah preparation must account for two quarterbacks sharing the field, motion from six-open formations and option exchanges. He emphasized correct defensive counts, disciplined eyes, perimeter one-on-one coverage and mixing in zone rather than announcing a new base defense.

- Iowa State was without Drew Surges and Beni Ngoyi after injuries at Iowa. Against Bowling Green, coordinator Jesse Bobbit moved corner Seth Johnson to safety and started Keyon Washington at corner; those were the game's adjustments, not a stated permanent depth-chart change. - Reserve DB Jaheim Singletary was taken off on a backboard after colliding with Willie Breland III and was being evaluated at a local medical center. Tyrone Cotton III then received corner snaps while Johnson stayed at safety. The article provides no diagnosis, prognosis or return timetable. - Iowa State averaged 12.6 rushing yards per carry in the first half, including a 35-yard Jaylen Raynor read-option run through the B-gap. Arnold Barnes III scored on a short pitch and added a fourth-quarter rushing TD; this describes game execution, not a new backfield hierarchy. - After the staff emphasized better explosive-play execution during the week, Iowa State had nine offensive plays of at least 12 yards by the middle of the third quarter. The tally included multiple long runs and Raynor completions of 34, 17 and 20 yards; it is an in-game checkpoint, not a final count.

- Iowa State beat Bowling Green 55-7. Jaylen Raynor went 11-of-17 for 133 yards, one TD and one interception, adding 60 rushing yards on six attempts; the writer attributed the interception to poor execution and a defensive play rather than necessarily a bad read. - Aiden Flora supplied a 61-yard rushing TD and a 66-yard punt-return TD. Cameron Pettaway scored on a 100-yard kickoff return, while Arnold Barnes III took over after the starters finished. The writer inferred a primarily return-oriented Pettaway role from his four carries, not a coach-announced change. - Iowa State's line created running lanes and generally protected Raynor, allowing one sack. LT Jake Taylor and RG Austin Barrett were taken out on certain first-half running plays; the article does not establish an injury, permanent demotion or replacement order. - No Iowa State receiver exceeded 34 yards; Pettaway led with three catches for 27 yards. Jamal Polite caught one of three targets for 34 yards, and Omari Hayes had two drops, including a screen. - Carson Willich, Sullivan Schlimgen and Willie Breland were Iowa State's top three tacklers, each with a TFL; Beau Goodwin intercepted a pass and Jack Janikowski forced a fumble. Bowling Green had 96 receiving yards, 59 on its lone TD after a Singletary-Breland collision.

- DB: With Surges out of the lineup, Iowa State moved Seth Johnson to safety and are giving Keyon Washington the start at CB.
