Earlier this week, the TCU Horned Frogs and Iowa State Cyclones each released their availability reports for this Saturday's matchup in Fort Worth, Texas. TCU comes off of the bye week, while the Cyclones were handed their fourth loss in a row by the Arizona State Sun Devils.

As bad as things have gone elsewhere for the Cyclones, the running game has found its footing. Iowa State has averaged at least 4.2 yards per carry over the last four games, reaching a high-water mark of 6.3 against Colorado and being north of 5 against BYU.

The Horned Frogs are well-rested coming off a bye, finding themselves not quite out of the Big 12 title race. A win for TCU keeps the team and its conference title hopes alive and extends the Frogs' winning streak to three games. A loss is a gut punch. Nobody likes gut punches.

The Cyclones have played with plenty of the former, but far less of the latter during their four-game slide, and must find a way to have fun on the field again as they seek to secure bowl eligibility for the seventh time in the past eight seasons.

Here's a look at Iowa State's injury situation heading into its matchup vs. TCU, per the Big 12's availability report.

Marta Suarez scored 19 points, Olivia Miles had 16 points, eight rebounds and six assists in her TCU debut, and the No. 17 Horned Frogs began their season with an 82-43 victory over North Carolina A&T.
